3. Rotate the crown to select either auto receive enabled (

4. After the setting is the way you want, push the crown back in. This will return to the screen that was 

displayed in step 1 of this procedure.

Radio-controlled Atomic Timekeeping Precautions

 Strong electrostatic charge can result in the wrong time setting.

 Even if a receive operation is successful, certain conditions can cause the time setting to be off by up 

to one second.

 The watch is designed to update the date and day of the week automatically for the period January 1, 

2000 to December 31, 2099. Updating of the date by signal reception will no longer be performed 
starting from January 1, 2100.

 If you are in an area where signal reception is not possible, the watch keeps time with the precision 

noted in “Specifi cations”.

 •

 The receive operation is disabled under any of the conditions below.

– While power is at Level 3 (

L

) or lower (page E-15)

– While the watch is in the power recovery mode (page E-17)
– While a direction, barometric pressure, temperature, water depth, or altitude reading operation is in 

 progress

– When the watch is in the function sleep state (“Power Saving”, page E-19)
– While barometric pressure change indicator is being measured
– While a countdown timer operation is in progress (page E-106)

 A receive operation is cancelled if an alarm sounds while it is being performed.

 The Home City setting reverts to the initial default of 

TYO

 (Tokyo) whenever the battery power level 

drops to Level 5 or when you have the rechargeable battery replaced. If this happens, change the 
Home City to the setting you want (page E-34).

E-26

To check the latest signal reception results

1. Enter the Receive Mode (page E-30).

2. 

R/C

 will be displayed for about one second, and then the date (month and day) and the time of the last 

signal reception will alternate on the digital display at two second intervals. 

 Dashes (

- : - -

 and 

-.- -

) alternating in place of the date and time indicate there has been no 

successful signal reception yet (since you purchased the watch or had its battery replaced).

2 seconds

3. To return to the Timekeeping Mode, press 

B

.

 To enable or disable auto receive

1. Enter the Receive Mode (page E-30).

 

R/C

 will be displayed for about one second, and then the date (month and day) and the time of the 

last signal reception will alternate on the digital display.

 Dashes (

- : - -

 and 

-.- -

) alternating in place of the date and time indicate there has been no 

successful signal reception yet (since you purchased the watch or had its battery replaced).

2. Pull out the crown. This will cause the current auto receive status (

ON

 or 

OFF

) to fl ash on the digital 

display.

 Only 

AUTORC OFF

 is displayed for cities that do not support time calibration signal reception. 

AUTORC ON

 is not displayed.

E-25

 Signal Level Indicator

During calibration signal reception, the signal level indicator displays the 
signal level as shown below.

Weak (Unstable)

Strong (Stable)

The level indication will change in accordance with reception conditions 
while reception is being performed.
As you watch the indicator, keep the watch in a location that best 
maintains stable reception.

 Even under optimum reception conditions, it can take about 10 

seconds for reception to stabilize.

 Note that weather, the time of day, surroundings, and other factors all 

can affect reception.

E-24

 You can use the procedure under “To enable or disable auto receive” (page E-26) to enable or disable 

auto receive.

 To perform manual receive

1. Use 

B

 to enter the Receive Mode (

R/C

) as shown on page E-30.

2. Hold down 

A

 for at least two seconds until 

RC

 fl ashes and then 

RC!

 

appears on the digital display.

 A signal level indicator (

L1

L2

, or 

L3

, see page E-25) will appear 

on the display after reception starts. Do not allow the watch to 
move and do not perform any button operation until 

GET

 or 

ERR

 

appears on the display.

 If the receive operation is successful, the reception date and time 

appear on the display, along with the 

GET

 indicator.

 The watch will return to the Timekeeping Mode if you do not 

perform any button operation for about two or three minutes.
