Radio-controlled Atomic Timekeeping
This watch receives a time calibration signal and updates
its time setting accordingly. The time calibration signal
includes both Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time
(summer time) data.
•
This watch is designed to pick up the time calibration
signal transmitted from Fort Collins, Colorado (USA).
Reception is possible within North America*.
* The term “North America” in this User’s Guide refers to the
area that consists of Canada, the continental United States,
and Mexico.

When using the watch outside of the range of the transmitter in Fort Collins, you
need to manually adjust the time as required. See “Timekeeping” for information
about manual settings.
•
The analog time of this watch is synchronized with the digital time. Because of this,

Normally, your watch should show the correct time as soon as you select your Home
City code. If it does not, it should adjust automatically after the next auto receive
operation (in the middle of the night). You can also perform manual receive or you
can set the time manually.
•
If you are in an area that does not use Daylight Saving Time (summer time), turn off
the DST setting.
Time Calibration Signal Reception
There are two different methods you can use to receive the time calibration signal:
auto receive and manual receive.
•
Auto Receive
With auto receive, the watch automatically picks up the time calibration signal four
times a day at 2:00 a.m., 3:00 a.m., 4:00 a.m., and 5:00 a.m. For more information,
see “About Auto Receive”.
Important!
•
Position the watch as shown in the nearby illustration, with its 12 o’clock side facing
towards a window. Make sure there are no metal objects nearby.

•
The watch should not be on its side or facing the wrong way.
•
Proper signal reception can be difficult or even impossible under the conditions listed
below.
•
Signal reception is normally better at night than during the day.
•
Time calibration signal reception takes from two to six minutes, but in some cases it
can take as long as 12 minutes. Take care that you do not perform any button
operations or move the watch during this time.

At distances further than about 600 miles (1,000 kilometers) from the transmitter,
signal reception may not be possible during certain times of year or times of day.
Radio interference may also cause problems with reception.
•
Even when the watch is within the reception range of the transmitter, signal
reception is impossible if the signal is blocked by mountains or other geological
formations between the watch and signal source.

Signal reception is affected by weather, atmospheric conditions, and seasonal
changes.
•
See the information under “Signal Receive Troubleshooting” if you experience
problems with time calibration signal reception.
About Auto Receive
When auto receive is turned on, the watch automatically starts to receive the time
calibration signal when the digital time in the Timekeeping Mode reaches 2:00 a.m.,
3:00 a.m., 4:00 a.m., and 5:00 a.m. each day (calibration times).
•
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”.
