Auto Receive
With Auto Receive, the watch performs the receive operation each day automatically up to six times (up
•
to five times for the Chinese calibration signal) between the hours of midnight and 5 a.m. (according to
the Home City time). When any receive operation is successful, none of the other receive operations for
that day are performed.
The receive operation is not performed if a calibration time is reached while you are configuring
•
settings.
To perform manual receive
In the regular timekeeping mode, keep
1.
A
depressed (for about two seconds) as the
x
Second Hand
goes through the following sequence.
Moves to
•
YES
(or
Y
for some models) or
NO
(
N
) to indicate the last signal reception result, then to
READY
(
R
).
The
2.
x
Second Hand

It means this:
READY (R)
Watch is setting up for reception.
WORK (W)
Reception is in progress.
YES (Y)
Reception was completed successfully.
NO (N)
Reception failed for some reason.
If signal reception is unstable, the
•
x
Second Hand
may move between
WORK
(
W
) and
READY
(
R
).
The receive operation is complete when the
3.
x
Second Hand
moves to
YES
(
Y
) or
NO
(
N
) for about five seconds, and then resumes regular timekeeping.
You can return to regular timekeeping manually by pressing
•
A
while the
x
Second Hand
is pointing to
YES
(
Y
) or
NO
(
N
).
When the receive operation is successful, the watch adjusts the time
•
setting accordingly. It does not adjust the setting if the operation failed.
Note

will indicate
NO
(
N
) if you have adjusted the time or
date setting manually since the latest receive operation.
Radio-controlled Atomic Timekeeping Precautions
Strong electrostatic charge can result in the wrong time setting.
•
Even if a receive operation is successful, certain conditions can cause the time setting to be off by up
•
to one second.
The watch is designed to update the date automatically for the period January 1, 2000 to December
•
31, 2099. Updating of the date by signal reception will no longer be performed starting from January 1,
2100.
If you are in an area where signal reception is not possible, the watch keeps time with the precision
•
noted in “Specifications”.
The receive operation is disabled under any of the following conditions.
•
While power is at Level 2 or lower

Note
After you specify a city code, the watch will use UTC* offsets to calculate the World Time based on the
•
current time in your Home City.
Coordinated Universal Time, the world-wide scientific standard of timekeeping. The reference point for
*
UTC is Greenwich, England.
Selecting some city codes makes it possible for the watch to receive the time calibration signal for the
•
corresponding area automatically. See “Radio Controlled Atomic Timekeeping” for details.
