USER’S GUIDE 2619

•Remember that reception of the calibration signal depends on the time kept in the Timekeeping Mode. The receive operation is performed whenever the display shows one of the three calibration times, 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.

About the Receiving Indicator

The receiving indicator shows the strength of the calibration signal being received. For best reception, be sure to keep the watch in a location where signal strength is strongest.

Weak

 

Strong

 

(Level 1)

 

(Level 4)

•Even in an area where signal strength is strong, it takes about 10 seconds for signal reception to stabilize enough for the receiving indicator to indicate signal strength.

•Use the receiving indicator as a guide for checking signal strength and for finding the best location for the watch during signal receive operations.

•The receiving indicator (Level 4) remains on the display in all modes (except the Recall Mode) following reception of the time calibration signal and calibration of the watch’s time setting. The receiving indicator (Level 4) is not displayed if signal reception was unsuccessful or after manual adjustment of the current time setting.

•The receiving indicator (Level 4) is displayed only when the watch is able to successfully receive both time and date data. It does not appear when only time data is received.

•The receiving indicator (Level 4) indicates that at least one of the three calibration signal receive operations was successful. Note, however, that the receiving indicator (Level 4) is cleared from the display at 3:00 AM each day.

To perform manual receive

1. On the Mode Menu screen, use Band Dto move the flashing to (RECEIVE: Signal Receive Mode icon).

2. Hold down Cfor about two seconds until the watch beeps.

• When you first press C, the word LAST will appear at the top of the display screen. Keep Cdepressed until the watch beeps and LAST disappears from the display.

3. Release C and xx xx appears on the display to indicate that signal reception has started.

•If you accidentally release Cduring step 2 or if the Mode Menu appears when you release C in step 3,

start again from step 1 of this procedure.

4. Place the watch on a stable surface so its top (12 o’clock side) is facing in the general direction of the signal transmitter.

Time Memo

The Time Memo feature of your watch lets you create up to 100 time memos, each of which includes fields for time, date, data tag, and text. Time memos come in handy when you need to keep track of your activities. Time memos are automatically sorted chronologically on their date and time fields. You can recall records by scrolling through them on the display.

•You can create a time memo starting from the Mode Menu screen or from the Timekeeping Mode.

•Use the Recall Mode to recall time memos and to input time memo text.

•You can assign any one of the following nine data tags to a time memo.

•Note that laying the watch on its back or side will make signal reception poor.

•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.

•After a signal receive operation is successful and the watch adjusts its time setting, the Last Signal screen appears on the display, showing the time and date of the last successful receive operation. The display shows the Last Signal screen for two or three minutes, and then changes automatically to the Mode Menu screen.

You can use the Recall Mode to recall time memos, to input text into time memos, and to delete time memos. Use the procedure under “To change modes” to enter the Recall Mode and perform the operations in this section.

•The time memo you were viewing the last time you were in the Recall Mode appears first, unless you have just created a new time memo. In this case, the new time memo appears first.

To recall time memos

In the Recall Mode, use D(+) and B (–) to scroll through time memos on the display.

•If the time memo has a data tag assigned to it, the tag alternates with the date on the display.

•If the time memo has text assigned to it, the text appears at the top of the display screen.
