Note
Even if you are within the normal
reception range of a time signal,
reception may be made impossible by
the following factors: geographic
contours, weather, the season, the
time of day, wireless noise.
Signals become weaker outside of the
smaller circles indicated by dashed
lines in the maps above, so the above
factors have greater effect on signal
reception.
Though the Honolulu and Anchorage
areas (time zones) are outside of the
time signal reception range of the
watch, reception may be possible
when reception conditions are good.
With the AT (AUTO) summer time
setting, the watch may not indicate
correct time if you are using it in a
country or region that is different from
the country or region where the time
calibration signal transmitter is
located. This is due to differences in
adoption of summer time rules,
differences in summer time periods,
etc. If this happens, change the city
and/or summer time setting so the
correct time is displayed.

Configuring City and Summer Time
Settings
Use the procedure in this section to select a
Home City and configure its summer time
setting.
Summer Time
Summer time, which is also known as Daylight
Saving Time (DST), advances the time setting
one hour, 30 minutes, or some other amount
of time from standard time (STD) during the
summer months. Whether or not and how
summer time is used depends on your country
or local area. Summer time is not used in some
countries and local areas.
World Time
Your watch lets you select from among city
codes for 24 cities around the globe. Selecting
a city code causes the watch's time setting to
change automatically to indicate the current
time in that zone.
