Operation Guide 3334

Calibration Signal Reception Precautions

•Auto reception can be performed while the watch is in the Timekeeping Mode or World Time Mode only.

•Signal reception cannot be performed while a timer operation is in progress.

•Receipt of a calibration signal causes the digital time to be adjusted first, followed by adjustment of the analog time. In order to ensure correct adjustment of the analog time, be sure to match the analog time with the digital time before performing a signal receive operation.

•Operating any button while auto reception is in progress will cause the watch to beep and then exit the receive operation.

•Make sure you are within the range of the calibration signal transmitter before performing the reception operation. Remember that geographic contours, nearby buildings, the season, the time of day can make reception impossible even when you are within range of the transmitter.

•Proper reception may be impossible if there is something blocking the signal. If reception is unsuccessful, try again.

•This watch is designed to adjust its current time setting in accordance with the calibration signal transmitted in Japan and the United States only. Note that you will need to make your own adjustments when using this watch outside of Japan or the United States, or in any area that is outside the range of one of the receivable time calibration signal transmitters.

•When the watch is unable to adjust its time signal using the calibration signal for some reason, timekeeping accuracy is within

±15 seconds per month.

•Strong electrostatic charge can cause timekeeping error.

•Signal reception is cancelled if an alarm starts to sound while it is being performed.

•The watch’s calendar shows dates up to the year 2099. Attempting a receive operation after that causes an error.

Troubleshooting

Cannot perform manual reception.

Cause:• Manual receive can be performed in the Timekeeping Mode only.

•Manual receive cannot be performed while a timer operation is in progress.

•The Home City is set to a city other than TYO (Tokyo), NYC (New York), CHI (Chicago), DEN (Denver), or LAX (Los

Angeles).

Corrective Measures: • Perform manual receive in the Timekeeping Mode.

•Change the Home City to TYO (Tokyo), NYC (New York), CHI (Chicago), DEN (Denver), or LAX (Los Angeles). Correctly set the Home City as detailed under “Manually Setting the Time and Date”.

The receive () icon is not on the display even though auto signal reception is turned on.

Cause:• The receive () icon appears after the watch successfully receives the calibration signal and adjusts the current time setting.

•A single receive operation was not successful.

•The watch is not in the Timekeeping Mode or World Time Mode when an auto reception time is reached.

•You performed manual reception, which clears the receive () icon from the display.

Corrective Measures: • Check to make sure the watch is in a location where it can receive the signal.

•Place the watch in a location where reception conditions are good.

•Make sure that the watch is in the Timekeeping Mode or World Time Mode during the auto reception times.

Time setting is incorrect following signal reception.

Cause:• If the current time is advanced by one hour, it probably means that summer time is turned on (indicated by the DST indicator).

•If there is a large error in the setting, it probably means that the wrong Home City is selected.

Corrective Measures: • Correctly configure the summer time and Home City settings as detailed under “Turning Summer Time On and Off” and “Manually Setting the Time and Date”.

Cannot configure signal reception settings.

Cause:• The Home City is set to a city other than TYO (Tokyo), NYC (New York), CHI (Chicago), DEN (Denver), or LAX (Los Angeles).

Corrective Measures: • Select one of the above as the Home City as detailed under “Manually Setting the Time and Date”.

•If you cannot receive the calibration signal or if the current time setting is incorrect after signal reception, check the current setup of the watch.

•The following are the watch’s factory default settings, which are configured automatically whenever you have the battery of the watch replaced.

•The same 12-hour/24-hour format you select for your home time zone in the Timekeeping Mode is also applied in the World Time Mode.

Important!

•If the World Time Mode time is incorrect, adjust the setting of the current time in the Timekeeping Mode.

•See “Manually Setting the Time and Date” for more information.
