Note
•
The auto receive operation is performed only if the watch is in the Timekeeping
Mode or World Time Mode when one of the calibration times is reached. It is not
performed if a calibration time is reached while an alarm is sounding, or while you
are configuring settings (while settings are flashing on the display).
•
When a receive operation starts, the second hand will move at high speed to the 12
o'clock position where it will stop until the receive operation is complete.
•
Auto receipt 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 easily receive the signal.
•
When auto receive is turned on, the watch receives the calibration signal for two to
six minutes everyday when the time in the Timekeeping Mode reaches each of the
five calibration times. Do not perform any button operation within six minutes before
or after any of the five calibration times. Doing so can interfere with correct
calibration.
•
Remember that reception of the calibration signal depends on the time kept in the
digital display. The receive operation will be performed whenever the display shows
one of the five calibration times, regardless of whether or not the displayed time is
actually the correct time.
•
When two, three, four, or five receptions are successful, the watch uses the data of
the last reception for calibration. When only one reception is successful, the watch
uses the data of the successful reception.
About the Receiving Indicator
The receiving indicator shows the strength of the calibration signal being received. For
best reception, be sure to keep the watch in a location where signal strength is
strongest.
Receiving indicator
Weak
(Level 1)
•
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 Level 4 receiving indicator remains on the display in all modes following
reception of the time calibration signal and calibration of the watch's time setting.
The Level 4 receiving indicator is not displayed if signal reception was unsuccessful
or after manual adjustment of the current time setting.
•
The Level 4 receiving indicator indicates that at least one of the five calibration
signal receive operations was successful. Note, however, that the Level 4 receiving
indicator is cleared from the display at 3:00 a.m. each day.
To perform manual receive

Time calibration signal reception takes from two to six
