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.
• When using the watch in an area that is outside of the range of the transmitters in
Rugby and Mainflingen, you need to manually adjust the time as required. See
“Timekeeping” for information about manual settings.
• The analog time of this watch is synchronized with the digital time. Because of this,
the analog time setting is automatically adjusted whenever you change the digital
setting. See “Analog Timekeeping” for more information.

*The area covered by the MOW city code is quite far from the time calibration
signal transmitters, and so certain conditions may cause problems with signal
reception.
3. Press A to exit the setting screen.
• 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 (in
the middle of the night). You can also perform manual receive or you can set the time
manually.
• If you are in an area that does not use Daylight Saving Time (summer time), turn off
the DST setting.
• 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
“Transmitters”.

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 signal reception 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.
• 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
among
buildings
• Signal reception is normally 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.

Operation Guide 4700
• At distances further than about 500 kilometers from a transmitter, signal reception
may not be possible during certain times of year or times of day. Radio interference
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
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. The start times of the auto receive operations depend
on the current Home City and DST settings.

Note
• The display of the watch is blank while an auto receive operation is in progress.
• Auto receive is performed only if the watch is in the Timekeeping Mode or World
Time Mode when one of the calibration times is reached. It 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 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 easily receive the signal.
•
When auto receive is turned on, the watch receives the calibration signal for two to
seven minutes everyday when the time in the Timekeeping Mode reaches each of the
six calibration times. Avoid performing any button operation within seven minutes
before or after any of the six calibration times. Doing so can interfere with correct
calibration
.
• Remember that reception of the calibration signal depends on the time kept in the
digital display. Reception will be performed whenever the display shows one of the
six
calibration times, regardless of whether or not the displayed time is actually the
correct time.
To perform manual receive
• Time calibration signal reception normally takes from two to seven minutes. Take
care that you do not perform any button operations or move the watch during this
time.
• After signal reception is complete, the display of the watch changes to the last signal
screen.
Note
• To interrupt a reception and return to the Timekeeping Mode, press D.
• If reception is unsuccessful, the message

• You can also change from the last signal or
screen by pressing D.
About the Receiving Indicator (Manual receive)
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.

• Note that you cannot use the World Time Mode to change the DST setting of the
Home City code you currently have selected in the Timekeeping Mode. See “To
change the Daylight Saving Time (summer time) setting” for information about
turning the Home City code DST setting on and off.
• The DST indicator will appear on the display whenever you display a city code for
which Daylight Saving Time is turned on.
• Note that the DST/Standard Time setting affects only the currently displayed city
code. Other city codes are not affected.
The World Time Mode digitally displays the current time in
48 cities (29 time zones) around the world.
• If the current time shown for a city is wrong, check your
Home City time settings and make the necessary
changes.
• The watch will perform a signal reception 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 time.
• All of the operations in this section are performed in the
World Time Mode, which you enter by pressing C.
1. In the World Time Mode, use D to display the city code

Receiving indicator
• 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 reception.
• The Level 3 receiving indicator remains on the display in all modes following
reception of the time calibration signal and calibration of the watch’s time setting.
The Level 3 receiving indicator is not displayed if signal reception was unsuccessful
or after manual adjustment of the current time setting.
• The Level 3 receiving indicator indicates that at least one of the six calibration signal
receive operations was successful. Note, however, that the Level 3 receiving
indicator is cleared from the display when the first auto receive operation of the day
is performed.
