• Even in an area where signal strength is strong, it takes about 10 seconds for signal
reception to stabilize enough for the receiving indicator to indicate signal strength.
• Use the receiving indicator as a guide for checking signal strength and for finding the
best location for the watch during signal receive operations.
• The receiving indicator (Level 4) remains on the display in all modes following
reception of the time calibration signal and calibration of the watch's time setting.
The receiving indicator (Level 4) is not displayed if signal reception was
unsuccessful or after manual adjustment of the current time setting.
• The receiving indicator (Level 4) is displayed only when the watch is able to
successfully receive both time and date data. It does not appear when only time data
is received.
• The receiving indicator (Level 4) indicates that at least one of the four calibration
signal receive operations was successful. Note, however, that the receiving indicator
(Level 4) is cleared from the display at 3:00 AM each day.

• See "City Code Table" for a complete list of available city codes.
• The auto receive setting is used for time calibration signal reception only. See "About
Auto Receive" for details.
Daylight Saving Time (DST)
Daylight Saving Time (summer time) advances the time setting by one hour from
Standard Time. Remember that not all countries or even local areas use Daylight
Saving Time.
The time calibration signal transmitted from Mainflingen includes both Standard Time
and DST data. When the DST setting is turned on, the watch switches between
Standard Time and DST (summer time) automatically in accordance with the
Mainflingen signal.
• The default DST setting is Auto DST (
A
) whenever you select
or
ATH
as your Home City code.
• If you experience problems receiving the time calibration signal in your area, it is
probably best to switch between Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time (summer
time) manually.
To change the Daylight Saving Time (summer time) setting
1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down A until the city code starts to flash, which
indicates the setting screen.
2. Press C and the DST setting screen appears.
3. Use D to cycle through the DST settings in the sequence shown below.

Analog Timekeeping
The analog time of this watch is synchronized with the digital time. The analog time
setting is adjusted automatically whenever you change the digital time.
Note
The hands for the analog timepiece move to adjust to a new setting whenever any of
the following occurs.
When you change the digital time setting manually
When the digital time setting is changed by time calibration signal reception
When you change the Home City code and/or DST setting
If the analog time does not match the digital time for any reason, use the procedure
described under "To adjust the analog time" to match the analog setting to the digital
setting.
Whenever you need to adjust both the digital and the analog time settings manually,
make sure you adjust the digital setting first.
Depending on how much the hands have to move in order to adjust to the digital
time, it may take some time before the analog hands stop moving.
