•Even when the watch is within range of a transmitter, signal reception may be impossible due to the effects of geographic contours, structures, weather, the time of year, the time of day, radio interference, etc. The signal becomes weaker at distances of approximately 500 kilometers, which means that the inﬂuence of the conditions listed above becomes even greater.

•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 Anthorn (England) transmitters: 500 kilometers (310 miles)

Fort Collins (United States) transmitter: 600 miles (1,000 kilometers)

Fukushima or Fukuoka/Saga (Japan) transmitters: 500 kilometers (310 miles)

Shangqiu (China) transmitter: 500 kilometers (310 miles)

•As of July 2010, China does not use Daylight Saving Time (DST). If China does go to the Daylight Saving Time system in the future, some functions of this watch may no longer operate correctly.

•Using this watch in a country covered by a time calibration that is different from the countries it supports may result in incorrect time indication due to local application of summer time, etc.

To get ready for a receive operation

1.Conﬁrm that the watch is in the Timekeeping Mode. If it isn't, hold down D for about two seconds to enter the Timekeeping Mode. (page E-24)

2.The antenna of this watch is located on its 12 o’clock side. Position the watch with 12 o’clock facing towards a window as shown in the nearby illustration. Make sure there are no metal objects nearby.

•Signal reception normally is better at night.

• The receive operation takes from two to seven minutes, but

12 o’clockin some cases it can take as long as 14 minutes. Take care that you do not perform any button operation or

move the watch during this time.

•Signal reception may be difﬁcult or even impossible under the conditions described below.

3.What you should do next depends on whether you are using Auto Receive or Manual Receive.

•Auto Receive: Leave the watch over night in the location you selected in step 2. See “Auto Receive” below for details.

•Manual Receive: Perform the operation under “To perform manual receive” on page E-20.

Auto Receive

•With Auto Receive, the watch performs the receive operation each day automatically up to six times (up to ﬁve times for the Chinese calibration signal) between the hours of midnight and 5 a.m. (according to the Timekeeping Mode time). When any receive operation is successful, none of the other receive operations for that day are performed.

•When a calibration time is reached, the watch will perform the receive operation only if it is in the Timekeeping Mode or World Time Mode. The receive operation is not performed if a calibration time is reached while you are conﬁguring settings.

•You can use the procedure under “To turn auto receive on and off” (page E-21) to enable or disable auto receive.

To perform manual receive

Receiving	1. Use D to select the Receive Mode (RC) as shown on page E-24.

To check the latest signal reception results

Enter the Receive Mode (page E-24).

Month Day• When receive is successful, the digital display shows the time and date that receive was successful. - : - - indicates that none of the reception operations were successful.

• To return to the Timekeeping Mode, press D twice.

Second hand

Receive failed

2.Hold down A until the second hand points to READY (or R on some models).

•This indicates that the watch is ready for signal reception.

•After a short while, the second hand will move to WORK (or W on some models) and signal reception will begin. Do not operate any of the watch’s buttons until the second hand starts moving normally again, which indicates that reception is complete.

•If signal reception is unstable, the second hand may keep moving between WORK (W) and READY (R).

•OK will appear on the digital display if the receive operation is successful, while Err indicates reception was unsuccessful.

•If the second hand remains at READY (R), press any button to cancel signal reception. Move the watch to a location where reception conditions are better and try again.

3.Press D twice to return to the Timekeeping Mode.

Note

To cancel an ongoing signal receive operation, press any of the watch’s buttons. This will return to the Receive Mode screen in step 1 of this procedure.

Radio-controlled Atomic Timekeeping Precautions

•Strong electrostatic charge can result in the wrong time setting.

•Even if a receive operation is successful, certain conditions can cause the time setting to be off by up to one second.

•The watch is designed to update the date and day of the week automatically for the period January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2099. Updating of the date by signal reception will no longer be performed starting from January 1, 2100.

•If you are in an area where signal reception is not possible, the watch keeps time with the precision noted in “Speciﬁcations” (page E-103).

•The receive operation is disabled under any of the following conditions.

–While power is at Level 3 (L) or lower (page E-11)

–While the watch is in the power recovery mode (page E-12)

–While a sensor operation is being performed

–When the watch is in the function sleep state (“Power Saving”, page E-14)

–While a hand home position adjustment operation is in progress (page E-86)

–While a countdown timer operation is in progress (page E-77)

•A receive operation is cancelled if an alarm sounds while it is being performed.

•The Home City setting reverts to the initial default of TOKYO (TYO) whenever the battery power level drops to Level 5 or when you have the rechargeable battery replaced. If this happens, change the Home City to the setting you want (page E-28) .
