Current Time Setting
Normally, you do not need to do anything to set the current time as long as you are within an area in West Europe where the watch can pick up the time calibration signal. You can also set the current time manually when you are outside the range of the signal.
•Before using the watch after purchasing it, use the procedure under “Selecting Your Home City Code” (page
•Note that after you set your Home City code, you must also turn on the watch’s time calibration signal receiver if you want to enable auto time calibration. See “About Auto Receive” (page
•See “Setting the Time and Date Manually” for information about manual settings.
Setting the Time and Date Manually
The times displayed in the Timekeeping Mode and World Time Mode are linked. Even if you plan to use the watch without enabling auto time calibration, be sure to select a Home City code (the city code whose time and date you are setting), before you set the time and date.

Time Calibration Signal Reception
This watch is designed to pick up a time calibration signal transmitted from Mainflingen, Germany and update its time setting in accordance with the signal. There are two different methods you can use to receive the signal: Auto Receive and Manual Receive. With Auto Receive, the watch automatically receives the calibration signal three times each day and makes appropriate adjustments. With Manual Receive, you perform a specific button operation to receive the calibration signal.
Note
•If you are using the time calibration signal to set the time for this watch, be sure to correctly set your home city. Otherwise, there is the chance that the watch will not set the correct time. See the “To select your Home City code” for details.
•This watch automatically switches between DST and standard time while BER is selected as the home city code. For any other home city code, you must perform the procedure under “To set the current time and date manually” to switch between DST and standard time.
•Time calibration reception is limited to specific geographic areas in West Europe.
•The current time setting in accordance with the time calibration signal takes priority over any time settings you make.
•The watch is designed to automatically update the date and day of the week for the period January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2039. Setting of the date by the time calibration signal cannot be performed starting from January 1, 2040.
•This watch can receive signals that differentiate between leap years and non- leap years.
•Auto Receive is turned on when the watch is shipped from the factory.
