This watch does not have a Time Zone that corresponds to the Greenwich Mean Time differential of –3.5 hours. Because of this, the radio-controlled atomic timekeeping function will not display the correct time for Newfoundland, Canada.

Your watch switches automatically between Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time (summer time).

Note, however, that switching cannot be performed correctly if the watch is not able to receive the time calibration signal.

If you notice that the current time is not displayed properly, use the procedure under “To perform manual receive” or “To set the time and date manually” to correct it.

General Guide

Press Cto change from mode to mode.

About 1.5 seconds after you enter the Dual Time Mode, Alarm Mode, or Hand Setting Mode the hands will move the position that indicates the current setting of the mode. You cannot

change to another mode while the hands are moving. To change to another mode, either press Cbefore the hands start to move, or wait until the hands stop before pressing C.

In Timekeeping mode (except when a setting screen is on the display), press Bto illuminate the face of the watch.

Radio-controlled Atomic Timekeeping

This watch receives a time calibration signal and updates its time setting accordingly. The time calibration signal includes both Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time (summer time) data.

This watch is designed to pick up the time calibration signal transmitted in the United States (Fort Collins, Colorado) and the time calibration signals transmitted in Japan.

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.

Current Time Setting

This watch adjusts its time setting automatically in accordance with a time calibration signal. You can also 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 Time Zone, which is the time zone where you will normally use the watch. For more information, see “To specify your Home Time Zone” below.

When using the watch outside the range of the time signal transmitter, you have to adjust the current time setting manually as required. See “Timekeeping” for more information about manual time settings.

–8.0, –9.0, +9.0, or +10.0 while DST is turned on) as your Home Time Zone automatically turns on auto receive. When auto receive is turned on and you are within the reception range, the watch will automatically receive the time calibration signal from the applicable transmitter (in the middle of the night) and update its settings accordingly. For information about the relationship between time zones (GMT differential values) and transmitters, see “Home Time Zones and Transmitters”.

See the maps under “Reception Ranges” for information about the reception ranges of the watch.

If you are in an area that does not use Daylight Saving Time (summer time), turn off the DST setting.

Even if the time calibration signal is received correctly, there are some times when the analog hands may not indicate the correct time. If this happens, use the procedures under “Adjusting the Home Positions” to check the home positions of the hands, and make adjustments as required.

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

1.In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down Auntil the GMT differential value starts to flash, which indicates the setting screen.

The second hand will move at high speed to the 12 o’clock position, where it will stop.

The GMT differential value indicates the time difference in hours between Greenwich Mean Time and the currently selected time zone.

The DST indicator indicates that Daylight Saving Time (summer time) is turned on for the currently selected time zone.

times a day. 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”.

Important!

When getting ready to receive the time calibration signal, position the watch as shown in the nearby illustration, with its 12 o’clock side facing towards a window. Make sure there are no metal objects nearby.

2.Use B(+) to select the time zone you want to use as your Home Time Zone.

+9.0 (DST +10.0): Tokyo , Seoul, Pyongyang
3.Press A to exit the setting screen.

The second hand will advance at high speed to the correct position and resume normal movement from there.

Normally, your watch should show the correct time as soon as you specify your Home Time Zone. If it does not, it should adjust automatically after the next auto receive operation (in the middle of the night). You can also perform manual receive or you can set the time manually.
