•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.
•When using the watch outside of the range of the transmitter in Fort Collins, you need to manually adjust the time as required. See “Timekeeping” 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.

Important!
•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 or you can set the time manually.
•If you are in an area that does not use Daylight Saving Time (summer time), turn off the DST 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 four times a day at 2:00 a.m., 3:00 a.m., 4:00 a.m., and 5:00 a.m. 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”.
•At distances further than about 600 miles (1,000 kilometers) from the transmitter, signal reception may not be possible during certain times of year or times of day. Radio interference may also cause problems with reception.
•Even when the watch is within the reception range of the transmitter, signal reception is 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.
•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 digital time in the Timekeeping Mode reaches 2:00 a.m., 3:00 a.m., 4:00 a.m., and 5:00 a.m. each day (calibration times).
