Radio-controlled Atomic Timekeeping
This watch receives a time calibration signal and updates its time setting accordingly.
•This watch is designed to pick up the time calibration signals transmitted in Germany (Mainflingen), England (Anthorn), the United States (Fort Collins), China (Shangqiu), and Japan (Fukushima, Fukuoka/Saga).
•See the information under “Signal Reception Troubleshooting” if you experience problems with time calibration signal reception.
Current Time Setting
This watch adjusts its time setting automatically in accordance with a time calibration signal. You also can perform a manual procedure to set the time and date, when necessary.
•The first thing you should do after purchasing this watch is to specify your Home City (the city where you normally will use the watch). For more information, see “To specify your Home City”.
•When using the watch outside the areas covered by the time signal transmitters, you will have to adjust the current time setting manually as required. See “To set the time and date manually” for more information about manual time settings.
•The U.S. time calibration signal can be picked up by the watch while in North America. The term “North America” in this manual refers to the area that consists of Canada, the continental United States, and Mexico.
•As of January 2008, 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.

•The watch will receive the time calibration signal automatically from the applicable transmitter (in the middle of the night) and update its settings accordingly. For information about the relationship between city codes and transmitters, see “Important!” under “Time Calibration Signal Reception” and “Transmitters”.
•See the maps under “Approximate Reception Ranges” for information about the reception ranges of the watch.
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 receives the time calibration signal automatically up to six times a day (five times for the China signal). When any auto receive is successful, the remaining auto receive operations are not performed. 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”.
