ξSignal reception may not be possible at the distances that are further than those noted below during certain times of the year or day. Radio interference also may 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: 1,500 kilometers (910 miles)
ξEven 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.
ξSignal reception is affected by weather, atmospheric conditions, and seasonal changes.
ξAs of September 2009, 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.

About Auto Receive
The watch receives the time calibration signal automatically up to six times a day (Þ ve times for the China signal). When any auto receive is successful, 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
ξWhen a calibration time is reached, the watch will receive the calibration signal only if it is in either the Timekeeping Mode or World Time Mode. Reception is not performed if a calibration time is reached while you are configuring settings.
ξAuto receive 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.
ξThe watch receives the calibration signal for two to 14 minutes everyday when the time in the Timekeeping Mode reaches a calibration time. Do not perform any button operation within 14 minutes before or after the calibration times. Doing so can interfere with correct calibration.
ξRemember that reception of the calibration signal depends on the current time in your Home City, as kept in the Timekeeping Mode.
