where it is not exposed to light causes the battery to run
down. Make sure the watch is exposed to light as much as
possible.
• When you are not wearing the watch on your wrist,
position the face so it is pointed at a source of bright
light.
• You should try to keep the watch outside of your sleeve
as much as possible. Charging is reduced significantly if
the face is even only partially covered.

• 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 result in 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.

This watch receives a time calibration signal and updates its time setting accordingly.
• This watch is designed to pick up the time calibration signals transmitted in Germany
(Mainflingen), England (Anthorn), the United States (Fort Collins), China
(Shangqiu), and Japan (Fukushima, Fukuoka/Saga).
• See the information under “Signal Reception Troubleshooting” (page E-27) if you
experience problems with time calibration signal reception.
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” on page E-12.
E-10
• 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
and date manually” (page E-58) 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.
• As of January 2008, China does not use Daylight Saving Time (DST). If China does
go to the Daylight Saving Time system in the future, some functions of this watch
may no longer operate correctly.

3. Press A twice to exit the setting mode.
• 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 (page
E-24) or you can set the time manually (page E-58).
• 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 page
E-17 and “Transmitters” (page E-74).
• See the maps under “Approximate Reception Ranges” (page E-18) for information
about the reception ranges of the watch.
E-13
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 (five times for the China signal). When any auto receive is successful,
remaining auto receive operations are not performed. For more information, see
“About Auto Receive” (page E-21).
• 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” (page E-24).
E-14
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 pointing 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 listed
below.
Inside or

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.

• Signal reception may not be possible at the distances that are further than those
noted below during certain times of the year or day. Radio interference also may
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.

About Auto Receive
The watch receives the time calibration signal automatically up to six times a day (five
times for the China signal). When any auto receive is successful, 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.

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 14 minutes everyday when the
time in the Timekeeping Mode reaches a calibration time. Do not perform any button
operation within 14 minutes before or after the calibration times. Doing so can
interfere with correct calibration.
• Remember that reception of the calibration signal depends on the current time in
your Home City, as kept in the Timekeeping Mode.

1. Place the watch on a stable surface so its 12 o’clock
side is facing towards a window (page E-15).
2. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down A for about two
seconds until the watch beeps.
3. The digital display will go blank, and the left dial hand
will move to R (READY). This indicates that the watch is
getting ready for time calibration signal reception.
• See the information under “Signal Reception
Troubleshooting” (page E-27) if you experience
problems.
• The left dial hand will move to W (WORK) and stay there
while actual reception is in progress.
• If signal reception is unstable during reception, the left
dial hand may move between W (WORK) and
R (READY).
• The hour and minute hands continue to keep time
normally.
Receive successful
Receive failed
• 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.
• When a signal receive operation is successful, GET
appears on the upper display and the lower display
shows the time and date of the successful operation.
The watch will adjust its time setting in accordance to
with the information provided by the signal.
• The watch will return to the Timekeeping Mode if you
press A or if you do not perform any operation for
about one or two minutes.
• ERR will appear on the upper display if the receive
operation is not successful. The watch will not adjust its
time setting in this case. Press A to return to the
Timekeeping Mode.
