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.
•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 Digital Time and Date Manually” for information about manual settings.
•The analog time of this watch is synchronized with the digital time. Because of this, the analog time setting is automatically adjusted whenever you change the digital setting. See “Analog Timekeeping” for more information.
Setting Up the Watch for Use in Western Europe
You need to make the following three settings before using this watch in Western Europe. The following provides a general overview of the setting procedure. For full details, see “Setting the Time and Date Manually” and “Time Calibration Signal Reception”.

•Release A and the message receiving appears to indicate that signal reception has started.
•Time calibration signal reception takes from two to six minutes. Take care that you do not move the watch 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, and the analog time of the watch is adjusted automatically.
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.
Resin band | Metal band |
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.
•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.
•Time calibration signal reception is disabled while the analog hands are moving after you change the digital time setting.
•See the information under “Time Calibration Signal Reception” if you experience problems with time calibration signal reception.
To perform manual time calibration signal reception
1.Place the watch on a stable surface so its top (12 o'clock side) is facing in the general direction of the signal transmitter.
• Note that signal reception is poor if the watch is on its back or side.
•Specify the city code for your Home City (the city where you will normally use the watch).
•Select the auto summer time (DST) setting.
•Perform the manual time calibration signal receive operation to set the current time.

About the Receive Indicator
The receive 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
•Even in an area where signal strength is strong, it takes about 10 seconds for signal reception to stabilize enough for the receive indicator to indicate signal strength.
•Use the receive indicator as a guide for checking signal strength and for finding the best location for the watch during signal receive operations.
•The receive indicator remains on the display in all modes following reception of the time calibration signal and calibration of the watch’s time setting. The receive indicator does not appear if signal reception was unsuccessful or after manual adjustment of the current time setting.
