Troubleshooting
Time signal reception
Q1
The watch cannot perform a receive
operation.
Is the watch’s battery charged?
Signal reception is not possible while
battery power is low. Keep the watch
exposed to light until it recharges
sufficiently.
l
Is your city setting correct for your
location?
The watch will not indicate the correct time
if the city setting is wrong. Change the city
setting so it correctly reflects your
location.

After checking the above, the watch still
cannot perform a receive operation.
Time signal reception is not possible
when any one of the conditions exists.

Enabling/Disabling Auto Receive
If successful reception is not possible for
some reason, you can adjust the time and
day settings manually.
Q2
The signal receive operation always
fails.
Is the watch in a location that is appropriate
for signal reception?
Check your surroundings and move the
watch to a location where signal reception
is better.

Appropriate Signal Reception Location
Did you avoid touching the watch while the
receive operation was in progress?
Minimize movement of the watch and do
not perform any watch operation while a
receive operation is in progress.
Is the signal transmitter in your area
transmitting a signal?
The transmitter of the time signal may not
be transmitting. Try again later.
Q3
Signal reception should have been
successful, but the watch’s time and/
or day is wrong.
Do the hand and/or day indicator look out
of alignment?
Correct hand and day indicator alignment.
