■
The current time setting changes after I set it manually.
You may have the watch confi gured for Auto Receive of the time calibration signal
(page E-28), which will cause the time to be adjusted automatically according to your
currently selected location. If this results in the wrong time setting, check your location
setting and correct it, if necessary (page E-32).

Auto Receive is not performed or I cannot perform Manual Receive.

You are wearing or moving the
x
watch, or performing a button
operation during the signal receive
operation.
The watch is in an area with poor
x
reception conditions.
Keep the watch in an area where reception
conditions are good while the signal receive
operation is being performed.
E-26
You are in an area where signal
reception is not possible for some
reason.
See “Approximate Reception Ranges”.
E-24
The calibration signal is not being
transmitted for some reason.
Check the website of the organization
x
that maintains the time calibration signal
in your area for information about its
down times.
Try again later.

■
The hands and/or day indications are off.
This could indicate that the watch has been exposed to magnetism or strong impact,
which has caused problems with proper hand and day alignment. Adjust the watch’s
hand and day home position alignment (page E-44).
Charging
■
The watch does not resume operation after I expose it to light.
This can happen after the battery charge level drops to Level 4 (page E-16). Continue
exposing the watch to light until the
x
Second Hand
starts moving normally (at one-
second intervals).
