Current Time Setting

This watch automatically adjusts its time setting in accordance with a time calibration signal. You can also perform a manual procedure to set the time and date, when necessary.

• Before using the watch in the Continental United States, first use the procedure under “Setting Up the Watch for Use in the Continental United States” on the next page to set the time in accordance with a time calibration signal.

• Note that after you set your Home City (the city where you normally use the watch) code, you must also turn on the watch’s time calibration signal receiver if you want to enable auto time calibration. See “About Auto Receive” for more information.

• See “Setting the Time and Date Manually” for information about manual settings.

• Before using the watch in Japan, first specify your Home City, select the DST setting you want to use, and then perform the procedure under “To perform manual time calibration signal reception” .

Setting Up the Watch for Use in the Continental United States

You need to make the following three settings before using this watch in the Continental United States. The following provides a general overview of the setting procedure. For full details, see “Setting the Time and Date Manually” and “Time Calibration Signal Reception”.

• Specify the city code for your Home City (the city where you will normally use the watch).

• Select the auto summer time (DST) setting.

• Perform the manual time calibration signal receive operation to set the

current time.

Time Calibration Signal Reception

This watch is designed to pick up a time calibration signal and update its time setting in accordance with the signal. There are two different methods you can use to receive the signal: Auto Receive and Manual Receive. With Auto Receive, the watch automatically receives the calibration signal three times each day and makes appropriate adjustments. With Manual Receive, you perform a specific button operation to receive the calibration signal. Before performing a signal receive operation, remove the watch from you wrist and position it as shown in the illustrations below.

• If your watch has a resin band, pass the end of the band through the band loop and place the watch on a stable surface.

Note

• If you are using the time calibration signal to set the time for this watch, be sure to correctly set your Home City. Otherwise, there is the chance that the watch will not set the correct time. See “Setting the Time and Date Manually” for details.

• Note that signal reception is possible only when the watch is within range of a time calibration signal transmitter, and a city code that supports signal reception is selected as the Home City code.

• The current time setting in accordance with the time calibration signal takes priority over any time settings you make.

• Auto receive is turned on when the watch is shipped from the factory.

• See the information under “Time Calibration Signal Reception” if you

experience problems with time calibration signal reception.

To perform manual time calibration signal reception

1. Place the watch on a stable surface so its top (12 o'clock side) is facing in

the general direction of the signal transmitter.

• Note that signal reception is poor if the watch is on its back or side.

Note

• To interrupt a receive operation and return to the Timekeeping Mode, press

• If the receive operation is unsuccessful, the message ERROR! appears on the display for about one or two minutes. After that, the watch returns to the Timekeeping Mode.

• You can also change from the Last Signal or ERROR! screen to the normal timekeeping screen by pressing A.

About the Receive Indicator

The receive indicator shows the strength of the calibration signal being received. For best reception, be sure to keep the watch in a location where signal strength is strongest.

Weak

• Even in an area where signal strength is strong, it takes about 10 seconds for signal reception to stabilize enough for the receive indicator to indicate signal strength.

• Use the receive indicator as a guide for checking signal strength and for finding the best location for the watch during signal receive operations.

• The receive indicator remains on the display in all modes following reception of the time calibration signal and calibration of the watch’s time setting. The receive indicator does not appear if signal reception was unsuccessful or after manual adjustment of the current time setting.

Pass through band loop.

2.In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down A for about

two seconds until the watch beeps.

• Release A and the message receiving appears to

indicate that signal reception has started.

• Time calibration signal reception takes from two to six minutes. Take care that you do not move the watch during this time.

• After signal reception is complete, the display of the watch changes to the Last Signal screen.

About Auto Receive

When auto receive is turned on, the watch automatically starts to receive the time calibration signal when the time in the Timekeeping Mode reaches 2:00 AM, 4:00 AM and 6:00 AM each day (calibration times).

Note

• The auto receive operation is performed only if the watch is in the Timekeeping or World Time Mode when one of the calibration times is reached. It is not performed if a calibration time is reached while you are making settings (while settings are flashing on the display), while an alarm is sounding, or while a silent alert operation is being performed.

• Auto receipt of the calibration signal is designed to be performed early in the morning, while you sleep (provided that the Timekeeping Mode time is set correctly). Before going to bed for the night, remove the watch from your wrist, and put it in a location where it can easily receive the signal.

• The receive indicator indicates that either the 2:00 AM, 4:00 AM, or 6:00 AM calibration signal reception was successful. Note, however, that the receive indicator is cleared from the display at 3:00 AM each day.

• If you do not see the receive indicator except for the above reason, it means there was some problem with the calibration reception operation. Either perform reception manually, or make sure the watch is set up properly to receive the time calibration signal for the next automatic reception time.

• When auto receive is turned on, the watch receives the calibration signal for two to six minutes each day when the Timekeeping Mode time reaches 2:00 AM, 4:00 AM and 6:00 AM. Do not operate any of the watch’s buttons within six minutes prior to or following the calibration times. Doing so can interfere with correct calibration.

• Remember that reception of the calibration signal depends on the time kept in the Timekeeping Mode. The receive operation will be performed whenever the display shows 2:00 AM, 4:00 AM and 6:00 AM, regardless of whether or not the Timekeeping Mode time is actually the correct time.

• When two or three receptions are successful, the watch uses the data of the last reception for calibration. When only one reception is successful, the watch uses the data of the successful reception.

To turn auto receive on and off

Setting the Time and Date Manually

Make sure you select your Home City code (the city code whose time and date you are setting) before change the current time and date settings. World Time Mode times are all displayed in accordance with the Timekeeping Mode settings. Because of this, World Time Mode times will not be correct if you do not select the proper Home City code before setting the time and date in the Timekeeping Mode.

To toggle a city code time between standard time and Daylight Saving Time

• Daylight Saving Time (DST) advances the time setting by one hour from Standard Time. Remember that the not all countries or even local areas use Daylight Saving Time.

• The watch will perform a signal receive operation even if it is in the World Time Mode when a calibration time is reached. If this happens, the World Time Mode time settings will be adjusted in accordance with the Timekeeping Mode’s Home City code time.

World Time shows the current time in 30 cities (29 time zones) around the world.

• For full information on city codes, see the “City Code Table” at the back of this manual.

• The current time for all city codes in the World Time Mode is calculated in accordance with the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) differential for each city, based on the your Home City time setting.

• All of the operations in this section are performed in the World Time Mode, which you enter by pressing C.
