• When using the watch outside the areas covered by the time signal transmitters, you will have to adjust the current time setting manually as required. See “Timekeeping” for more information about manual time settings.

• 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.

• The analog time of this watch is synchronized with the digital time. Because of this, the analog time setting is adjusted automatically whenever you change the digital setting. See “Analog Timekeeping” for more information.

Important!

• 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 also can perform manual receive or you can set the time manually.

• The watch will receive the time calibration signal automatically from the applicable transmitter (in the middle of the night) and update its settings accordingly. For information about the relationship between city codes and transmitters, see “Home City Codes and Transmitters”.

• Under factory default settings, auto receive is turned off for all of the following city codes: MOW (Moscow), HKG (Hong Kong), BJS (Beijing), and HNL (Honolulu). For details about turning on auto receive for these city codes, see “To turn auto receive on and off”.

• You can disable time signal reception, if you want. See “To turn auto receive on and off” for more information.

• See the maps under “Approximate Reception Ranges” for information about the reception ranges of the watch.

• If you are in an area that does not use Daylight Saving Time (summertime), turn off the DST setting.

This watch receives a time calibration signal and updates its time setting accordingly.

• Supported time calibration signals: Germany (Mainflingen), England (Anthorn), United States (Fort Collins), Japan.

Current Time Setting

This watch adjusts its time setting automatically in accordance with a time calibration signal. You also can 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 City (the city where you normally will use the watch). For more information, see “To specify your Home City”.

1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down A until the city

code starts to flash. This is the setting screen.

2. Press D (east) to scroll through the city codes until the

one you want to use as your Home City is displayed.

• Time calibration signal reception is supported when any one of the city codes shown in the table below is selected as your Home City.

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. This watch is designed to receive a time calibration signal late at night. Because of this, you should place the watch near a window as shown in the illustration when you take it off at night. Make sure there are no metal objects nearby.

• Make sure the watch is facing the right way.

• Proper signal reception can be difficult or even impossible under the conditions

described below.

Inside or among buildings

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

• Time calibration signal reception takes from two 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. If you use the watch in Japan or Europe (each of which has two different transmitter locations), it will try to receive the time calibration signal from one of the transmitters in your current location. If it cannot receive the signal, it will then try to receive the time calibration signal from the other transmitter.

• Signal reception may not be possible at the distances noted below during certain times of the year or day. Radio interference may also cause problems with reception.

Mainflingen (Germany) or Anthorn (England) transmitters: 500 kilometers (310 miles) Fort Collins (United States) transmitter: 600 miles (1,000 kilometers) Fukushima or Fukuoka/Saga (Japan) transmitters: 500 kilometers (310 miles)

• 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 City, and whether standard time or Daylight Saving Time is selected for your Home City.

• The display of the watch is blank while an auto receive operation is in progress.

Note

• When a calibration time is reached, the watch will receive the calibration signal only if it is in either the Timekeeping Mode or World Time Mode. Reception is not performed if a calibration time is reached while you are configuring settings.

• Auto receive 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 seven minutes every day when the time in the Timekeeping Mode reaches each of the calibration times. Avoid performing any button operation within seven 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. The receive operation will be performed whenever the display shows any one of the calibration times, regardless of whether or not the displayed time actually is the correct time.

• Calibration signal reception is disabled while a countdown timer operation is

in progress.

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.

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

• 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.
