Operation Guide 2752
Note
•Auto DST (A
t ) can be selected only while HNL, ANC, LAX, DEN, CHI, NYC, HKG, TYO, or SELis selected as the Home City code. For more information, see “Daylight Saving Time (DST)” below.
Daylight Saving Time (DST)
Daylight Saving Time (summer time) advances the time setting by one hour from Standard Time. Remember that not all countries or even local areas use Daylight Saving Time.
The time calibration signal transmitted from Fort Collins includes both Standard Time and DST data. When the Auto DST setting is turned on, the watch switches between Standard Time and DST (summer time) automatically in accordance with the Fort Collins signal.
•The time calibration signals transmitted from Fukushima and Fukuoka/Saga do not include summer time data.
• The default DST setting is Auto DST (A
t ) whenever you select HNL, ANC, LAX, DEN, CHI, NYC, TYO, SEL, or HKG as your Home City code.
•If you experience problems receiving the time calibration signal in your area, it is probably best to switch between Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time (summer time) manually.
To change the Daylight Saving Time (summer time) setting
1.In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down A until the city code starts to flash, which indicates the setting screen.
2.Press Conce and the DST setting screen appears.
3.Use Dto cycle through the DST settings in the sequence shown below.

Analog Timekeeping
The analog time of this watch is synchronized with the digital time. The analog time setting is adjusted automatically whenever you change the digital time.
Note
•The hands for the analog timepiece move to adjust to a new setting whenever any of the following occurs.
When you change the digital time setting manually
When the digital time setting is changed by time calibration signal reception When you change the Home City code and/or DST setting
•If the analog time does not match the digital time for any reason, use the procedure described under “To adjust the analog time” to match the analog setting to the digital setting.
•Whenever you need to adjust both the digital and the analog time settings manually, make sure you adjust the digital setting first.
•Depending on how much the hands have to move in order to adjust to the digital time, it may take some time before they stop moving.
To adjust the analog time
1.In the Timekeeping Mode, press C five times to enter the Hand Setting Mode.

Auto Return Features
•If you leave the watch in the Alarm or Hand Setting Mode for two or three minutes without performing any operation, it automatically returns to the Timekeeping Mode.
•If you leave the watch with a flashing setting on the display for two or three minutes without performing any operation, the watch automatically exits the setting screen.
Scrolling
The Band Dbuttons are used in various modes and setting screens to scroll through data on the display. In most cases, holding down these buttons during a scroll operation scrolls through the data at high speed.
Initial Screens
When you enter the World Time or Alarm Mode, the data you were viewing when you last exited the mode appears first.
Radio-controlled Atomic Timekeeping Precautions
•Strong electrostatic charge can result in the wrong time being set.
•Even when the watch is within the reception range of the transmitter, signal reception will be impossible if the signal is blocked by mountains or other geological formations between the watch and signal source.
•Signal reception is affected by weather, atmospheric conditions, and seasonal changes.
•The time calibration signal bounces off the ionosphere. Because of this, such factors as changes in the reflectivity of the ionosphere, as well as movement of the ionosphere to higher altitudes due to seasonal atmospheric changes or the time of day may change the reception range of the signal and make reception temporarily impossible.
•Even if the time calibration signal is received properly, certain conditions can cause the time setting to be off by up to one second.
•The current time setting in accordance with the time calibration signal takes priority over any time settings you make manually.
•The watch is designed to automatically update the date and day of the week for the period January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2099. Setting of the date by the time calibration signal cannot be performed starting from January 1, 2100.
•This watch can receive signals that differentiate between leap years and
•Though this watch is designed to receive both time data (hour, minutes, seconds) and date data (year, month, day), certain signal conditions can limit reception to time data only.
•Normally, the signal reception date shown by the last signal screen is the date data included in the received time calibration signal. When only time data is received, however, the last signal screen shows the date as kept in the Timekeeping Mode at the time of signal reception.
•If you are in an area where proper time calibration signal reception is impossible, the watch keeps time within ±15 seconds a month at normal temperature.
•If you have problems with proper time calibration signal reception or if the time setting is wrong after signal reception, check your current city code, DST (summer time), and auto receive settings. The following are the initial factory defaults for these settings.
Setting | Initial Factory Default |
