About 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. 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

• When 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.

• Auto 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.

• The 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.

• Remember that reception of the calibration signal depends on the current time in

your Home City, as kept in the Timekeeping Mode.

To perform manual receive

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 A for about two

seconds until the watch beeps.

3. The digital display will go blank, and the left dial hand

will move to R (READY). This indicates that the watch is

getting ready for time calibration signal reception.

• See the information under “Signal Reception

Troubleshooting” if you experience problems.

• The left dial hand will move to W (WORK) and stay there

while actual reception is in progress.

• If signal reception is unstable during reception, the left

dial hand may move between W (WORK) and

R (READY).

• The hour and minute hands continue to keep time

normally.

R (READY) W (WORK)

• Time calibration signal reception takes from two to

7 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 signal receive operation is successful, GET

appears on the upper display and the lower display

shows the time and date of the successful operation.

The watch will adjust its time setting in accordance to

with the information provided by the signal.

• The watch will return to the Timekeeping Mode if you

press A or if you do not perform any operation for

about one or two minutes.

• ERR will appear on the upper display if the receive

operation is not successful. The watch will not adjust its

time setting in this case. Press A to return to the

Timekeeping Mode.

Note

• To interrupt a receive operation and return to the Timekeeping Mode, press any

button.

To check the latest signal reception results

In the Timekeeping Mode, press A to view the last successful receive time and date.

Press A again to return to the previous screen.
