• The watch continues to operate, even when it is not exposed to light. Leaving the watch in the dark can cause the battery to run down, which will cause some watch functions to be disabled. If the battery goes dead, you will have to re-configure watch settings after recharging. To ensure normal watch operation, be sure to keep it exposed to light as much as possible.

Radio-controlled Atomic Timekeeping

This watch receives 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.

•This watch is designed to pick up the time calibration signal transmitted in the United States (Fort Collins, Colorado) and the time calibration signals transmitted in Japan.

•The U.S. time calibration signal can be picked up by the watch while in North America*.

*The term “North America” in this manual refers to the area that consists of Canada, the continental United States, and Mexico.

Current Time Setting

This watch adjusts its time setting automatically 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 specify your Home Time Zone, which is the time zone where you will normally use the watch. For more information, see “To specify your Home Time Zone” below.

•When using the watch outside the range of the time signal transmitter, you have to adjust the current time setting manually as required. See “Timekeeping” for more information about manual time settings.

To specify your Home Time Zone

1.In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down Afor about five seconds until the stopwatch second hand moves to the currently selected GMT differential value and stops.

This is the setting mode.

•The GMT differential value indicates the time difference in hours between Greenwich Mean Time and the currently selected time zone.

2.Press Dto select the time zone you want to use as your Home Time Zone.

ET (GMT –5): Miami, Toronto, New York, Montreal, Detroit, Boston, Panama City, Havana, Lima, Bogota

CT (GMT –6): Mexico City, Winnipeg, Chicago, Houston, Dallas/Fort Worth, New Orleans

MT (GMT –7): Edmonton, Denver, El Paso PT (GMT –8): Vancouver, Los Angeles, San

Francisco, Las Vegas, Seattle/Tacoma, Dawson City

–09 (GMT –9): Anchorage, Nome

–10 (GMT –10): Honolulu, Papeete

TYO (GMT +9): Tokyo, Seoul, Pyongyang

•Note that this watch does not have a city code that corresponds to Newfoundland.

If the analog hands aren’t moving...

If the analog hands aren’t moving, it means that the power saving mode has stopped them to save battery power.

•See “Power Saving” for more information.

•The hands also stop whenever the battery level reaches Level 3.

•This watch does not have a time zone that corresponds to the Greenwich Mean Time differential of –3.5 hours. Because of this, the radio-controlled atomic timekeeping function will not display the correct time for Newfoundland, Canada.

•Your watch switches automatically between Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time (summer time).

Note, however, that switching cannot be performed correctly if the watch is not able to receive the time calibration signal.

If you notice that the current time is not displayed properly, use the procedure under “To perform manual receive” or “To set the time and date manually” to correct it.

•The watch will also return to the Timekeeping Mode if you do not perform any operation for about two or three minutes.

•Normally, your watch should show the correct time as soon as you specify your Home Time Zone. 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 or you can set the time manually.

•Even if the time calibration signal is received correctly, there are some times when the analog hands may not indicate the correct time. If this happens, use the procedures under “Adjusting the Home Positions” to check the home positions of the hands, and make adjustments as required.

Time Calibration Signal Reception

There are two different methods you can use to receive the time calibration signal: auto receive and manual receive.

• Auto Receive

With auto receive, the watch receives the time calibration signal automatically up to six times a day. When any auto receive is successful, the remaining auto receive operations are not performed. 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!

•When getting ready to receive the time calibration signal, 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.

•Signal reception is normally better at night than during the day.

•Time calibration signal reception takes from four to seven minutes, but in some cases it can take as long as 14 minutes. Take care that you do not perform any button operations or move the watch during this time.

•The time calibration signal the watch will attempt to pick up depends on its current Home City code setting as shown below.

•At distances further than about 600 miles (1,000 kilometers) from the Fort Collins (the United States) transmitter, signal reception may not be possible during certain times of year or times of day. Radio interferance may also cause problems with reception.

•At distances further than about 500 kilometers (310 miles) from the Fukushima and Fukuoka/ Saga (Japan) transmitter, signal reception may not be possible during certain times of year or times of day. Radio interferance may also cause problems with reception.

•Even when the watch is within the reception range of the transmitter, signal reception will be impossible if the signal is blocked by mountains or other geological formations between the watch and signal source.

•Signal reception is affected by weather, atmospheric conditions, and seasonal changes.

•See the information under “Signal Reception Troubleshooting” if you experience problems with time calibration signal reception.

About Auto Receive

The watch receives the time calibration signal automatically up to six times a day. When any auto receive is successful, the remaining auto receive operations are not performed. The reception schedule (calibration times) depends on your currently selected Home Time Zone, and whether standard time or Daylight Saving Time is selected for your Home Time Zone.

Your Home Time Zone			Auto Receive Start Times

Note

•Auto receive is supported in all modes except while a stopwatch elapsed time operation is in progress.

•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 receive the signal easily.

•The watch receives the calibration signal for two to 14 minutes everyday when the time in the Timekeeping Mode reaches each of the calibration times. Do not perform any button operation within ten minutes before or after any one of the calibration times. Doing so can interfere with correct calibration.

•Remember that reception of the calibration signal depends on the current time in the Timekeeping Mode.
