This watch automatically adjusts its time setting in accordance with a time calibration signal. You can also perform a manual procedure to set the time and date, when necessary.

Before using the watch in Western Europe, first use the procedure under “Setting Up the Watch for Use in Western Europe” to set the time in accordance with a time calibration signal.

Note that after you set your Home City (the city where you normally use the watch) 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” for more information.

See “Setting the Time and Date Manually” for information about manual settings.

during this time.

 

If the watch is indoors, we recommend that you place the watch near a window to allow better signal reception.

After signal reception is complete, the display of the watch changes to the Last Signal screen.

Time Calibration Signal Reception

This watch is designed to pick up a time calibration signal 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.

Before performing a signal receive operation, remove the watch from you wrist and position it as shown in the illustrations below.

If your watch has a resin band, pass the end of the band through the band loop and place the watch on a stable surface.

Pass through band loop.

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 “Setting the Time and Date Manually” for details.

Note that signal reception is possible only when the watch is within range of a time calibration signal transmitter, and BER, PAR, LON, or ATH is selected as the Home City code.

See “City Code Table” for a complete list of available city codes.

The current time setting in accordance with the time calibration signal takes priority over any time settings you make.

Auto receive is turned on when the watch is shipped from the factory.

See the information under “Time Calibration Signal Reception” if you experience problems with time calibration signal reception.
