●
After purchasing the watch, perform the procedure under “Acquiring GPS Position Information”
(page E-14).
●
To set the current time and day, normally use the procedure under “Time Calibration Signal Auto
Receive” (page E-18). In areas where a time calibration signal cannot be received for some reason,
set the current time and day using the procedure under “GPS Signal Auto Receive” (page E-16).
x
Late night (between midnight and 5:00 a.m.): The receive operation starts at regular intervals until
receive is successful (Time Calibration signal).

Daytime (between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.): The receive operation will start automatically when
the watch is continually expose to light (GPS).
x
Once a time calibration or GPS signal receive operation is successful, no more Auto Receive
operations are performed that day.
●
●
If the current time setting is not correct, perform the procedure under “Receiving GPS Time
Information” (page E-15).
●
If you move into another time zone, perform the procedure under “Acquiring GPS Position
Information”. Next, perform one of the procedures under “Time Calibration Signal Auto
Receive”, “GPS Signal Auto Receive”, or “Receiving GPS Time Information” to set the current
time and day.
