•The current time setting in accordance with the time calibration signal takes priority over any time settings you make.
•The watch is designed to automatically update the date and day of the week for the period January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2039. Setting of the date by the time calibration signal cannot be performed starting from January 1, 2040.
•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 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 ±20 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.
