BASIC OPERATION (HOW TO SET THE TIME/HOW TO RECEIVE GPS SIGNALS, ETC.)

Automatic time adjustment
This watch can be set to the precise current time by automatically receiving GPS signals by exposure to bright light
outdoors under an open sky to adjust the time.
In addition, when the watch is concealed under a sleeve and the dial is not exposed to sufficient light even if outdoors
under an open sky, the watch stores the time of the previous successful manual time adjustment (or time zone
adjustment), and automatically starts time adjustment at the same time.
In a place without good visibility, GPS signals cannot be received.

If the energy is sufficiently charged, automatic reception will be performed every day.
The automatic time adjustment is performed at most once per day. Therefore, even if automatic time adjustment has failed, the next automatic time
adjustment will be performed the next day or thereafter.
The time zone is not adjusted in the automatic time adjustment.
When the region where the watch is used is changed, please carry out time zone adjustment. How to adjust the time zone

Even if outdoors under an open sky, when the watch is concealed under a sleeve in winter time, etc., in an area where the
daylight hours are short, or when the watch is not likely to be exposed to sufficient light for a long time due to bad weather, the
watch is designed to allow for automatic time reception at the time when the manual time adjustment was successful the last
time.
When the watch is exposed to the operating environment above, automatic time adjustment is likely to be successful by
making manual time adjustment successful in time periods where the watch is frequently used in a place where GPS signals
can be easily received under an open sky.
How to manually adjust the time
P. 26
However, as the watch judges to start automatic time adjustment taking into consideration the following conditions,
the watch does not necessarily start automatic time adjustment by exposure to bright light.
• Charging status
• Past reception status
When the indicator hand points to “E (low),” or in the in-flight mode ( ), automatic time adjustment does not work.
When the indicator hand points to “E,” charge the watch by expose to light.
How to charge the watch

When the energy is reduced, the period for which automatic time adjustment is not performed becomes longer. Keep in mind to charge the watch regularly.
If the time zone adjustment or manual time adjustment is performed before the automatic time adjustment is started, the automatic time adjustment is not
performed on that day.
