Problem
Cannot perform
manual receive.
Auto receive is
turned on, but
the receiving
indicator (Level
4) does not
appear on the
display.
Probable Cause
•
The watch is not in the Timekeeping Mode.
•
Your current Home City is not one of the
following city codes:
BER, PAR, LON, or ATH.
•
You changed the time setting manually.
•
The watch was not in the Timekeeping
or World Time Mode, or you were
performing some button operation
during the auto receive operation.
•
Even if receive is successful, the
receiving indicator (Level 4) disappears
every day at 3 am.
What you should do
•
Enter the Timekeeping Mode
and try again.
•
Select BER, PAR, LON, or
ATH as your Home City.
•
Perform manual signal receive
or wait until the next auto
signal receive operation is
performed.
•
Check to make sure the watch
is in a location where it can
receive the signal.
Time setting is
incorrect
following signal
reception.
•
Time data (hour, minutes, seconds) only
was received during the last receive
operation. The receiving indicator (Level
4) appears only when time data and
date data (year, month, day) are both
received.
•
If the time is one hour off, the DST
setting may be incorrect.
•
The Home City code setting is not
correct for the area where you are using
the watch.
•
Change the DST setting to
Auto DST.
•
Select the correct Home City
code.
• 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 receive operations.
• The receiving indicator (Level 4) remains on the display in all modes following
reception of the time calibration signal and calibration of the watch’s time setting.
The receiving indicator (Level 4) is not displayed if signal reception was
unsuccessful or after manual adjustment of the current time setting.
• The receiving indicator (Level 4) is displayed only when the watch is able to
successfully receive both time and date data. It does not appear when only time data
is received.
• The receiving indicator (Level 4) indicates that at least one of the four calibration
signal receive operations was successful. Note, however, that the receiving indicator
(Level 4) is cleared from the display at 3:00 AM each day.
To perform manual receive
1. Place the watch on a stable surface so its top (12
o’clock side) is facing towards a window.
• Note that signal reception is poor if the watch is on its
back or side.
2. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down
D
for about two
seconds until the watch beeps.
3. Release
D
and the current time flashes to indicate that
signal reception has started.
• Time calibration signal reception takes from two to six
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 receive operation and return to the Timekeeping Mode, press
D

Setting the Digital Time and Date Manually
Make sure you select your Home City code before you change the current time and
date settings. World Time Mode times are all displayed in accordance with the
Timekeeping Mode settings. Because of this, World Time Mode times will not be
correct if you do not select the proper Home City code before setting the time and
date in the Timekeeping Mode.
To set the current digital time and date manually
1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down
A
until the city
code starts to flash, which indicates the setting screen.
2. Press

• See “City Code Table” for a complete list of available city codes.
• The auto receive setting is used for time calibration signal reception only. See “About
Auto Receive” for details.
Daylight Saving Time (DST)
Daylight Saving Time (summer time) advances the time setting by one hour from
Standard Time. Remember that not all countries or even local areas use Daylight
Saving Time.
The time calibration signal transmitted from Mainflingen includes both Standard Time
and DST data. When the DST setting is turned on, the watch switches between
Standard Time and DST (summer time) automatically in accordance with the
Mainflingen signal.
• The default DST setting is Auto DST (
A
) whenever you select
BER
,
PAR
,
LON
,
or
ATH
as your Home City code.
• If you experience problems receiving the time calibration signal in your area, it is
probably best to switch between Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time (summer
time) manually.
To change the Daylight Saving Time (summer time) setting
1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down
A
until the city code starts to flash, which
indicates the setting screen.
2. Press
C
and the DST setting screen appears.
3. Use
D
to cycle through the DST settings in the sequence shown below.

Analog Timekeeping
The analog time of this watch is synchronized with the digital time. The analog time
setting is adjusted automatically whenever you change the digital time.
Note
•
The hands for the analog timepiece move to adjust to a new setting whenever any of
the following occurs.
When you change the digital time setting manually
When the digital time setting is changed by time calibration signal reception
When you change the Home City code and/or DST setting
•
If the analog time does not match the digital time for any reason, use the procedure
described under “To adjust the analog time” to match the analog setting to the digital
setting.
•
Whenever you need to adjust both the digital and the analog time settings manually,
make sure you adjust the digital setting first.
•
Depending on how much the hands have to move in order to adjust to the digital
time, it may take some time before the analog hands stop moving.
