This watch is designed to pick up the time calibration
signal transmitted from Rugby, England and the signal
from Mainflingen, Germany.
Current Time Setting
This watch automatically adjusts its digital time setting in
accordance with a time calibration signal. You can also
perform a manual procedure to set the time and date,
when necessary.
•
The first thing you should do after purchasing this watch

When using the watch that is outside of the range of the transmitters in Rugby and

The analog time of this watch is synchronized with the digital time. Because of this,
the analog time setting is automatically adjusted whenever you change the digital
setting. See “Analog Timekeeping” for more information.

Time Calibration Signal Reception
There are two different methods you can use to receive the time calibration signal:

times a day at 0:00 a.m., 1:00 a.m., 2:00 a.m., 3:00 a.m., and 4:00 a.m. For more
information, see “About Auto Receive”.

Manual Receive
Manual receive lets you start a time calibration receive operation with the press of
a button. For more information, see “To perform manual receive”.

Rugby, England and the signal from Mainflingen, Germany. Signal reception is
possible within the area represented by a circle with a radius of about 1,500
kilometers.

At distances further than about 500 kilometers from a transmitter, signal reception
may not be possible during certain times of year or times of day. Radio interference
may also cause problems with reception.
