•Signal reception is normally better at night than during the day.
•Time calibration signal reception takes from four to seven minutes, but in some cases it can take as long as 14 minutes. Take care that you do not perform any button operations or move the watch during this time.
•When within range of the applicable transmitter, this watch can receive either the Germany (Mainflingen) or England (Rugby) time calibration signals.
See “Transmitters” for more information.

•Signal reception may not be possible at the distances noted below during certain times of the year or day.
Radio interference may also cause problems with reception.
Mainflingen (Germany) or Rugby (England) transmitters: 500 kilometers (310 miles)
•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.
•See the information under “Signal Reception Troubleshooting” if you experience problems with time calibration signal reception.
About Auto ReceiveThe watch receives the time calibration signal automatically up to six times a day. When any auto receive is successful, the remaining auto receive operations are not performed. The reception schedule (calibration times) depends on your currently selected Home City, and whether standard time or Daylight Saving Time is selected for your Home City.
Note•Auto receive is turned on whenever LON, PAR, or ATH is selected as the Home City code.

Note
•To interrupt a receive operation and return to the Timekeeping Mode, press any button.
•If reception is not successful, the stopwatch second hand will move to N (NO).
5 second later, the stopwatch second hand will resume normal operation, without any adjustment of the hand setting.
•If the stopwatch second hand is pointing to Y (YES) or N (NO), you can return to the Timekeeping Mode by pressing any button.
Viewing the Latest Signal Reception Results
You can use the Receive Result Mode to check if signal reception was performed correctly.
To check the latest signal reception results1. In the Timekeeping Mode, press A.
• If the watch was able to perform a successful signal
receive operation since midnight, the stopwatch second
hand will move to Y (YES). If the watch has been unable
to receive any signal successfully, the second hand will
move to N (NO).
• The watch will return to the Timekeeping Mode after five
seconds or when you press A.
• The current receive result is cleared when the first auto receive operation is performed on the following day. This means Y (YES) indicates successful signal reception since the start of the current day.
•Y (YES) continues to be indicated even if an attempt at manual receive fails after auto receive is successful.
•If you adjust the time or date setting manually, the second hand will move to N (NO).

Note
• Auto receive is supported in all modes except while a stopwatch elapsed time |
operation is in progress. |
• Auto receipt of the calibration signal is designed to be performed early in the |
morning, while you sleep (provided that the Timekeeping Mode time is set correctly). |
Before going to bed for the night, remove the watch from your wrist, and put it in a |
location where it can receive the signal easily. |
• The watch receives the calibration signal for two to 14 minutes everyday when the |
time in the Timekeeping Mode reaches each of the calibration times. Avoid |
performing any button operation within ten minutes before or after any one of the |
calibration times. Doing so can interfere with correct calibration. |
Stopwatch second hand
•Stopwatch hour hand
•Stopwatch minute hand
Stopwatch 1/20 second hand
*This hand rotates and indicates the second count during the first 60 seconds.
The stopwatch lets you measure elapsed time,.
•The display range of the stopwatch is 23 hours, 59 minutes, 59.95 seconds.
•The stopwatch continues to run, restarting from zero after it reaches its limit, until you stop it.
•You cannot switch to another mode while a stopwatch elapsed time operation is in progress.
•All of the operations in this section are performed in the Stopwatch Mode.
To measure elapsed time1.Press B to start the stopwatch.
2.Press B to stop the stopwatch.
•You can resume the measurement operation by pressing Bagain.
• Remember that reception of the calibration signal depends on the current time in the |
Timekeeping Mode. |
•The 1/20 second hand rotates during the first 60 seconds only, and then stops. When elapsed timing is stopped (by pressing B), this hand jumps to the 1/20 second indication (which is kept internally).
3.Check the elapsed time.


READY
WORK
Y(YES)
N(NO)
1.Place the watch on a stable surface so its 12 o’clock side is facing towards a window.
2.In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down Afor about two seconds until the watch beeps.
3.The stopwatch second hand will move to READY to indicate that the watch is setting up for time calibration reception.
•The second hand will move to WORK and stay there while actual reception is in progress.
•The hour and minute hands continue to keep time normally.
•Time calibration signal reception takes from four to seven minutes, but in some cases it can take up to 14 minutes. Take care that you do not perform any button operations or move the watch during this time.
•If reception is successful, the second hand will move to Y (YES). 10 seconds later, the hands will move to the correct time.
•Press Ato reset the stopwatch.
