This watch automatically adjusts its time setting in accordance with a time calibration
signal. You can also perform a manual procedure to set the time and date, when
necessary.
•
Before using the watch in Western Europe, first use the procedure under “Setting Up
the Watch for Use in Western Europe” to set the time in accordance with a time
calibration signal.
•
Note that after you set your Home City (the city where you normally use the watch)
code, you must also turn on the watch’s time calibration signal receiver if you want to
enable auto time calibration. See “About Auto Receive” for more information.
•
See “Setting the Digital Time and Date Manually” for information about manual
settings.
•
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.

appears to indicate that signal reception
has started.
•
Time calibration signal reception takes from two to six minutes. Take care that you
do not move the watch during this time.
•
If the watch is indoors, we recommend that you place the watch near a window to
allow better signal reception.
•
After signal reception is complete, the display of the watch changes to the Last
Signal screen, and the analog time of the watch is adjusted automatically.
Time Calibration Signal Reception
This watch is designed to pick up a time calibration signal and update its time setting
in accordance with the signal. There are two different methods you can use to receive
the signal:
Auto Receive
and
Manual Receive
. With
Auto Receive
, the watch
automatically receives the calibration signal three times each day and makes
appropriate adjustments. With
Manual Receive
, you perform a specific button
operation to receive the calibration signal.
Before performing a signal receive operation, remove the watch from you wrist and
position it as shown in the illustrations below.
•
If your watch has a resin band, pass the end of the band through the band loop and
place the watch on a stable surface.
Resin band
Metal band
Pass through band loop.
Note
•
If you are using the time calibration signal to set the time for this watch, be sure to
correctly set your Home City. Otherwise, there is the chance that the watch will not
set the correct time.
•
Note that signal reception is possible only when the watch is within range of a time
calibration signal transmitter, and
BER
,
PAR
,
LON
, or
ATH
is selected as the Home
City code.
•
See “City Code Table” for a complete list of available city codes.
•
The current time setting in accordance with the time calibration signal takes priority
over any time settings you make.
•
Auto receive is turned on when the watch is shipped from the factory.
•
Time calibration signal reception is disabled while the analog hands are moving after
you change the digital time setting.
•
See the information under “Time Calibration Signal Reception” if you experience
problems with time calibration signal reception.
To perform manual time calibration signal reception
1. Place the watch on a stable surface so its top (12 o'clock side) is facing in the
general direction of the signal transmitter.
•
Note that signal reception is poor if the watch is on its back or side.
2. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down
A
for about two
seconds until the watch beeps.
•
Release
A
and the message
receiving
appears to
indicate that signal reception has started.
•
Time calibration signal reception takes from two to six

About the Receive Indicator
The receive indicator shows the strength of the calibration signal being received. For best
reception, be sure to keep the watch in a location where signal strength is strongest.
Weak
Strong
•
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.
