Radio-controlled Timekeeping
This watch is designed to pick up a time calibration signal and updates its time setting
accordingly. The time calibration signal includes both Standard Time and Daylight
Saving Time (summer time) data.
• When within range of the applicable transmitter, this watch can receive either
Continental U.S. or Japanese time calibration signals.
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.
• The first thing you should do after purchasing this watch is to set your Home City,
which is the city where you will normally use the watch. For more information, see
“To set your Home City” below.
• See “Timekeeping” for information about manual settings.

• Normally, your watch should show the correct time as soon as you select your Home
City code. If it does not, it should adjust automatically after the next auto receive
operation (in the middle of the night). You can also perform manual receive (see “To
perform manual receive”) or you can set the time manually (see “Setting the Time
and Date Manually”).
• If you are in an area that does not use Daylight Saving Time (summer time), turn off
the DST setting (see “To change the Daylight Saving Time (summer time) setting”).
Time Calibration Signal Reception
There are two different methods you can use to receive the time calibration signal:
auto receive
and
• Auto Receive
With auto receive, the watch automatically picks up the time calibration signal three
times a day at 2:00 AM, 4:00 AM, and 5:00 AM. For more information, see “About Auto
Receive.”
• Manual Receive
Manual receive lets you start a time calibration receive operation with the press of a
button. For more information, see “To perform manual receive.”
Important!
• Position the watch as shown in the nearby illustration, with its 12 o’clock side facing
towards a window. Make sure there are no metal objects nearby.

• Proper signal reception can be difficult or even impossible under the conditions listed
below.
Inside or
among
buildings
• Signal reception is normally better at night than during the day.
• Time calibration signal reception normally takes from two to six minutes. In Japan,
however, reception can take up to 12 minutes. Take care that you do not perform any
button operations or move the watch during this time.
• When within range of the applicable transmitter, this watch can receive either
Continental U.S. (Fort Collins, Colorado) or Japanese (Fukushima or Fukuoka/Saga)
time calibration signals. The signal the watch will attempt to pick up depends on its
current Home City code setting as shown below.

2,000 miles
600 miles
Fort Collins
• Under good reception conditions, signal reception is possible within a radius of
about 2,000 miles (3,000 kilometers) from the Fort Collins transmitter.
• At distances further than about 600 miles (1,000 kilometers) from the Fort Collins
transmitter, the signal may become weak and reception may be impossible under
certain conditions.
• At distances further than about 500 kilometers from the Fukushima and Fukuoka/
Saga transmitter, the signal may become weak and reception may be impossible
under certain conditions.
• See the information under “Signal Receive Troubleshooting” if you experience
problems with time calibration signal reception.
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 5:00 AM each day (calibration times).
Note
• The watch performs auto receive only if Mode Menu screen is on the display, or if
the watch is in the Timekeeping Mode, or World Time Mode when one of the
calibration times is reached. Auto receive is not performed if a calibration time is
reached while an alarm is sounding, or while you are configuring settings (while
settings are flashing on the display).
• 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.
• When auto receive is turned on, the watch receives the calibration signal for two to six
minutes everyday when the Timekeeping Mode reaches each of the three calibration
times. Do not perform any button operation within six minutes before or after any of the
three calibration times. Doing so can interfere with correct calibration.

USER’S GUIDE 2619
• Remember that reception of the calibration signal depends on the time kept in the
Timekeeping Mode. The receive operation is performed whenever the display shows
one of the three calibration times, 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.
About the Receiving Indicator
The receiving 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
(Level 1)
• Even in an area where signal strength is strong, it takes about 10 seconds for signal
reception to stabilize enough for the receiving indicator to indicate signal strength.
• Use the receiving indicator as a guide for checking signal strength and for finding the
best location for the watch during signal receive operations.
• The receiving indicator (Level 4) remains on the display in all modes (except the
Recall Mode) following reception of the time calibration signal and calibration of the
watch’s time setting. The receiving indicator (Level 4) is not displayed if signal
reception was unsuccessful or after manual adjustment of the current time setting.
• The receiving indicator (Level 4) is displayed only when the watch is able to
successfully receive both time and date data. It does not appear when only time data
is received.
• The receiving indicator (Level 4) indicates that at least one of the three calibration
signal receive operations was successful. Note, however, that the receiving indicator
(Level 4) is cleared from the display at 3:00 AM each day.

• Note that laying the watch on its back or side will make
signal reception poor.
• Time calibration signal reception normally takes from
two to six minutes. In Japan, however, reception can
take up to 12 minutes. Take care that you do not perform
any button operations or move the watch during this time.
• After a signal receive operation is successful and the
watch adjusts its time setting, the Last Signal screen
appears on the display, showing the time and date of the
last successful receive operation. The display shows the
