About Auto Receive
When auto receive is turned on, the watch automatically starts to receive the
time calibration signal when the time in the Timekeeping Mode reaches 2:00
AM, 4:00 AM and 6:00 AM each day (calibration times).
Note
•
The auto receive operation is performed only if the watch is in the Timekeeping
or World Time Mode when one of the calibration times is reached.
It is not performed if a calibration time is reached while you are making
settings (while settings are flashing on the display), while an alarm is
sounding, or while a silent alert operation is being performed.
•
Auto receipt of the calibration signal is designed to be performed early in the
morning, while you sleep (provided that the Timekeeping Mode time is set
correctly). Before going to bed for the night, remove the watch from your
wrist, and put it in a location where it can easily receive the signal.
•
The receive indicator indicates that either the 2:00 AM, 4:00 AM, or 6:00 AM
calibration signal reception was successful. Note, however, that the receive
indicator is cleared from the display at 3:00 AM each day.
•
If you do not see the receive indicator except for the above reason, it means
there was some problem with the calibration reception operation. Either
perform reception manually, or make sure the watch is set up properly to
receive the time calibration signal for the next automatic reception time.
•
When auto receive is turned on, the watch receives the calibration signal for
two to six minutes each day when the Timekeeping Mode time reaches 2:00
AM, 4:00 AM and 6:00 AM. Do not operate any of the watch’s buttons within
six minutes prior to or following the calibration times. Doing so can interfere
with correct calibration.
•
Remember that reception of the calibration signal depends on the time kept
in the Timekeeping Mode. The receive operation will be performed whenever
the display shows 2:00 AM, 4:00 AM and 6:00 AM, regardless of whether or
not the Timekeeping Mode time is actually the correct time.
•
When two or three receptions are successful, the watch uses the data of the
last reception for calibration. When only one reception is successful, the
watch uses the data of the successful reception.

Daylight Saving Time (DST) advances the time setting by one hour from
Standard Time. Remember that the not all countries or even local areas use
Daylight Saving Time.
•
The watch will perform a signal receive operation even if it is in the World
Time Mode when a calibration time is reached. If this happens, the World
Time Mode time settings will be adjusted in accordance with the Timekeeping
Mode’s Home City code time.
