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 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.
•
See “Transmitters” for details about the transmitter mode indicator.
Time Calibration Signal Reception
