T
roubleshooting
Cannot perform manual reception.
Cause:
•
Manual receive can be performed in the
T
imekeeping Mode only
.
•
Manual receive cannot be performed
while a timer operation is in progress.
•
The Home City is set to a city other than
TYO
(T
okyo),
NYC
(New
Y
o
rk),
CHI
(Chicago),
DEN
(Denver), or
LAX
(Los
Angeles).
Corrective Measures:
•
Perform manual receive in the
T
imekeeping Mode.
•
Change the Home City to
TYO
(T
okyo),
NYC
(New
Y
o
rk),
CHI
(Chicago),
DEN
(Denver), or
LAX
(Los
Angeles).
Correctly set the Home City as detailed
under
“Manually Setting the T
ime and
Date
”.
The receive (
) icon is not on the display even though auto
signal reception is turned on.
Cause:
•
The receive (
) icon appears after the
watch successfully receives the
calibration signal and adjusts the current
time setting.
•
A single receive operation was not
successful.
•
The watch is not in the T
imekeeping
Mode or W
o
rld
T
ime Mode when an auto
reception time is reached.
•
Y
ou performed manual reception, which
clears the receive (
) icon from the display
.
Corrective Measures:
•
Check to make sure the watch is in a
location where it can receive the signal.
•
Place the watch in a location where
reception conditions are good.
•
Make sure that the watch is in the
T
imekeeping Mode or W
orld
T
ime Mode
during the auto reception times.
Calibration Signal Reception
Precautions
•
Auto reception can be performed while the watch is in the
T
imekeeping Mode or W
orld T
ime Mode only
.
•
Signal reception cannot be performed while a timer operation is in
progress.
•
Receipt of a calibration signal causes the digital time to be
adjusted first, followed by adjustment of the analog time. In order
to ensure correct adjustment of the analog time, be sure to match
the analog time with the digital time before performing a signal
receive operation.
•
Operating any button while auto reception is in progress will
cause the watch to beep and then exit the receive operation.
•
Make sure you are within the range of the calibration signal
transmitter before performing the reception operation. Remember
that geographic contours, nearby buildings, the season, the time
of day can make reception impossible even when you are within
range of the transmitter
.
•
Proper reception may be impossible if there is something blocking
the signal. If reception is unsuccessful, try again.
•
This watch is designed to adjust its current time setting in
accordance with the calibration signal transmitted in Japan and
the United States only
. Note that you will need to make your own
adjustments when using this watch outside of Japan or the United
States, or in any area that is outside the range of one of the
receivable time calibration signal transmitters.
•
When the watch is unable to adjust its time signal using the
calibration signal for some reason, timekeeping accuracy is within
±
15 seconds per month.
•
Strong electrostatic charge can cause timekeeping error
.
•
Signal reception is cancelled if an alarm starts to sound while it is
being performed.
•
The watch
’s calendar shows dates up to the year 2099.
Attempting a receive operation after that causes an error
.
DST
Indicator
•
If you cannot receive the calibration signal or if the current time
setting is incorrect after signal reception, check the current setup
of the watch.
•
The following are the watch
’s factory default settings, which are
configured automatically whenever you have the battery of the
watch replaced.

Auto switching (according to
signal data)
T
ime setting is incorrect following signal reception.
Cause:
•
If the current time is advanced by one
hour
, it probably means that summer time
is turned on (indicated by the DST
indicator).
•
If there is a large error in the setting, it
probably means that the wrong Home
City is selected.
Corrective Measures:
•
Correctly configure the summer time and
Home City settings as detailed under
“T
urning Summer T
ime On and Of
f”
and
“Manually Setting the
T
ime and Date
”.
