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.

Radio-controlled Atomic Timekeeping
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).
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” below.
• 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
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.

• 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 “Time Calibration Signal Reception” and “Transmitters”.
• See the maps under “Approximate Reception Ranges” for information about
the reception ranges of the watch.
• You can disable time signal reception, if you want. See “To turn auto receive
on and off” for more information.
• Under factory default settings, auto receive is turned off for all of the following
city codes: MOW (Moscow), HNL (Honolulu), and ANC (Anchorage). For
details about turning on auto receive for these city codes, see “To turn auto
receive on and off”.
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.
12 o’clock
or
• 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 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.

HNL*, ANC*, LAX, DEN,
CHI, NYC, YVR, YEA, MEX,
* The areas covered by the HNL, ANC, and MOW city codes are quite far
from the time calibration signal transmitters, and so certain conditions
may cause problems with signal reception.
• Calibration signal reception is disabled while a countdown timer/target time
operation is in progress.

• 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.

Operation Guide 3150
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 everyday
when the time in the Timekeeping Mode reaches a calibration time. Do not
perform any button operation within seven 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 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.
About the Signal Strength Indicator
The signal strength 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. The signal strength indicator is displayed
while an auto or manual receive operation is in progress.

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 signal strength indicator to
indicate signal strength.
• Use the signal strength indicator as a guide for checking signal strength
and for finding the best location for the watch during signal receive
operations.
• Following reception of the time calibration signal and calibration of the
watch’s time setting, the Level 3 signal strength indicator will remain on the
display in all modes. The Level 3 signal strength indicator will not be
displayed if signal reception was unsuccessful or after you adjust the
current time setting manually.
• The Level 3 signal strength indicator is displayed only when the watch is
able to receive both time and date data successfully. It does not appear
when only time data is received.
• The Level 3 signal strength indicator indicates that at least one of the auto
calibration signal receive operations was successful. Note, however, that
the Level 3 signal strength indicator disappears from the display each day
when the first auto receive operation of the day is performed.
