Time setting is
incorrect
following signal
reception.
•
Time data (hour, minutes, seconds) only
was received during the last receive
operation. The receive indicator appears
only when time data and date data
(year, month, day) are both received.
•
If the time is one hour off, the DST
setting may be incorrect.
•
The Home City code setting is not
correct for the area where you are using
the watch.
•
Change the DST setting to
Auto DST.
•
Select the correct Home City
code.
• Even in an area where signal strength is strong, it takes about 10 seconds for signal
reception to stabilize enough for the receive indicator to indicate signal strength.
• Use the receive indicator as a guide for checking signal strength and for finding the
best location for the watch during signal receive operations.
• The receive indicator remains on the display in all modes following reception of the
time calibration signal and calibration of the watch’s time setting. The receive
indicator does not appear if signal reception was unsuccessful or after manual
adjustment of the current time setting.
• The receive indicator appears only when the watch is able to successfully receive
both time and date data. It does not appear when only time data is received.
• The receive indicator indicates that at least one of the three calibration signal
receive operations was successful. Note, however, that the receive indicator is
cleared from the display at 3:00 AM each day.
To perform manual receive
1. Place the watch on a stable surface so its top (12
o’clock side) is facing towards a window.
• Note that signal reception is poor if the watch is on its
back or side.
2. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down
B
for about two
seconds until the watch beeps.
3. Release
B
and the message
RC!
appears in the text
area to indicate that signal reception has started.
• Time calibration signal reception takes from two to six
minutes. Take care that you do not perform any button
operations or move the watch during this time.
• After signal reception is complete, the display of the
watch changes to the Last Signal screen.
Note
• To interrupt a receive operation and return to the Timekeeping Mode, press
B
.
• If the receive operation is unsuccessful, the message
ERR
appears on the display
for about one or two minutes. After that, the watch returns to the Timekeeping Mode.

Signal Receive Troubleshooting
Check the following points whenever you experience problems with calibration signal
reception.
Problem
Cannot perform
manual receive.
Auto receive is
turned on, but
the receive
indicator does
not appear on
the display.
Probable Cause
•
The watch is not in the Timekeeping Mode.
•
Your current Home City is not one of the
following city codes:
BER, PAR, LON, or ATH.
•
You changed the time setting manually.
•
The watch was not in the Timekeeping
or World Time Mode, or you were
performing some button operation
during the auto receive operation.
•
Even if receive is successful, the receive
indicator disappears every day at 3 am.
What you should do
•
Enter the Timekeeping Mode
and try again.
•
Select BER, PAR, LON, or
ATH as your Home City.
•
Perform manual signal receive
or wait until the next auto
signal receive operation is
performed.
•
Check to make sure the watch
is in a location where it can
receive the signal.
• For further information, see “Time Calibration Signal Reception” and “Time
Calibration Signal Reception Precautions.”
Timekeeping

time and date.
Setting the Time and Date Manually
Make sure you select your Home City code before you

• See “City Code Table” for a complete list of available city codes.
• The auto receive setting is used for time calibration signal reception only. See “About
Auto Receive” for details.
Daylight Saving Time (DST)
Daylight Saving Time (summer time) advances the time setting by one hour from
Standard Time. Remember that not all countries or even local areas use Daylight
Saving Time.
The time calibration signal transmitted from Mainflingen includes both Standard Time
and DST data. When the Auto DST setting is turned on, the watch switches between
Standard Time and DST (summer time) automatically in accordance with the
Mainflingen signal.
• The default DST setting is Auto DST (
A
) whenever you select
BER
,
PAR
,
LON
,
or
ATH
as your Home City code.
• If you experience problems receiving the time calibration signal in your area, it is
probably best to switch between Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time (summer
time) manually.
To change the Daylight Saving Time (summer time) setting
1. From the Timekeeping Mode, use
C
and
A
to display
SET
(Time Setting Mode)
in the text area.
2. Press
B
to enter the Time Setting Mode.
3. Press
B
twice so
DST
is in the text area. This is the DST setting screen.
4. Use
C
or
A
to cycle through the DST settings in the sequence shown below.
5. When the setting you want is displayed, press
B
eight times, until the text area
shows the Time Setting Mode indicator (
SET
).
6. Press
