Auto Time Signal Receive
Auto receive is automatically attempted up to
three times each night between midnight and
5:00 a.m. A successful receive attempt
causes any remaining attempts for that day to
be canceled.
Place the watch near a window or some other
location appropriate for signal reception.

When the receive operation is successful,
the time and day settings will be adjusted
automatically.
Note

Reception takes anywhere from about
two minutes to about 10 minutes. It can
take as long as 20 minutes.

Signal Reception
Precautions
●
When the watch is unable to adjust its time
in accordance with a calibration signal for
some reason, average timekeeping
accuracy is within ±15 seconds per month.
●
Time signal reception is not possible when
any one of the conditions exists.
ー
While battery power is low
ー
During power saving
●
Note that an internal decoding process the
watch performs after it receives a signal
may cause the time setting to be slightly off
(by less than one second).
●
As of January 2016, China does not
observe summer time. If China starts to
observe summer time in the future, the time
displayed by the watch for China may not be
correct.
