Radio-controlled Timekeeping

This watch is designed to pick up a time calibration signal and updates its time setting accordingly. The time calibration signal includes both Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time (summer time) data.

•When within range of the applicable transmitter, this watch can receive either Continental U.S. or Japanese time calibration signals.

Current Time Setting

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.

•The first thing you should do after purchasing this watch is to set your Home City, which is the city where you will normally use the watch. For more information, see “To set your Home City” below.

•See “Timekeeping” for information about manual settings.

To set your Home City

1.Enter the Timekeeping Mode.

2.Hold down Auntil the seconds start to flash, which indicates the setting screen.

				3. Press Ctwice so the current city code is flashing.
				4. Use D(east) and B(west) to scroll through the city
				codes until the one you want to use as your Home City
				is displayed.
				•	The following are the city codes for major cities in the
					Continental United States time zones and in Japan.

NYC: New York, Detroit, Miami, Boston

TYO: All cities in Japan

5. Press Ato exit the setting screen.

•Normally, your watch should show the correct time as soon as you select your Home City code. If it does not, it should adjust automatically after the next auto receive operation (in the middle of the night). You can also perform manual receive (see “To perform manual receive”) or you can set the time manually (see “Setting the Time and Date Manually”).

•If you are in an area that does not use Daylight Saving Time (summer time), turn off the DST setting (see “To change the Daylight Saving Time (summer time) setting”).

Time Calibration Signal Reception

There are two different methods you can use to receive the time calibration signal: auto receive and manual receive.

•Auto Receive

With auto receive, the watch automatically picks up the time calibration signal three times a day at 2:00 AM, 4:00 AM, and 5:00 AM. For more information, see “About Auto Receive.”

•Manual Receive

Manual receive lets you start a time calibration receive operation with the press of a button. For more information, see “To perform manual receive.”

Important!

•Position the watch as shown in the nearby illustration, with its 12 o’clock side facing towards a window. Make sure there are no metal objects nearby.

•Proper signal reception can be difficult or even impossible under the conditions listed below.

•Signal reception is normally better at night than during the day.

•Time calibration signal reception normally takes from two to six minutes. In Japan, however, reception can take up to 12 minutes. Take care that you do not perform any button operations or move the watch during this time.

•When within range of the applicable transmitter, this watch can receive either Continental U.S. (Fort Collins, Colorado) or Japanese (Fukushima or Fukuoka/Saga) time calibration signals. The signal the watch will attempt to pick up depends on its current Home City code setting as shown below.

Home City Code	Transmitter	Frequency
LAX, DEN, CHI, NYC	Fort Collins, Colorado	60kHz
TYO*	Fukushima	40kHz
	Fukuoka/Saga	60kHz

*With TYO, you can specify either 40kHz or 60kHz (see “Japan Signal Frequencies”).

2,000 miles	500	500
600 miles		kilometers
	kilometers
	Fukuoka/Saga	Fukushima
Fort Collins	1,000	1,000
	kilometers	kilometers

•Under good reception conditions, signal reception is possible within a radius of about 2,000 miles (3,000 kilometers) from the Fort Collins transmitter.

•At distances further than about 600 miles (1,000 kilometers) from the Fort Collins transmitter, the signal may become weak and reception may be impossible under certain conditions.

•At distances further than about 500 kilometers from the Fukushima and Fukuoka/ Saga transmitter, the signal may become weak and reception may be impossible under certain conditions.

•See the information under “Signal Receive Troubleshooting” if you experience problems with time calibration signal reception.

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 5:00 AM each day (calibration times).

Note

•The watch performs auto receive only if Mode Menu screen is on the display, or if the watch is in the Timekeeping Mode, or World Time Mode when one of the calibration times is reached. Auto receive is not performed if a calibration time is reached while an alarm is sounding, or while you are configuring settings (while settings are flashing on the display).

•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.

•When auto receive is turned on, the watch receives the calibration signal for two to six minutes everyday when the Timekeeping Mode reaches each of the three calibration times. Do not perform any button operation within six minutes before or after any of the three calibration times. Doing so can interfere with correct calibration.
