Radio Controlled Atomic Timekeeping
This watch receives a time calibration signal and updates its time setting accordingly.
This watch is designed to pick up the time calibration signals transmitted in
Germany (Mainfl ingen), England (Anthorn), the United States (Fort Collins), China
(Shangqiu), and Japan (Fukushima, Fukuoka/Saga).
See the information under "Signal Reception Troubleshooting" (page E-32) if you
experience problems with time calibration signal reception.
Current Time Setting
This watch adjusts its time setting automatically in accordance with a time calibration
signal. You also can perform a manual procedure to set the time and date, when
necessary.
The fi rst thing you should do after purchasing this watch is to specify
your Home City (the city where you normally will use the watch). For more
information, see "To specify your Home City" on page E-14.

Normally, your watch should show the correct time as soon as you select your
Home City code. If it does not, it should adjust automatically after the next auto
receive operation (in the middle of the night). You also can perform manual
receive (page E-28) or you can set the time manually (page E-67).
The watch will receive the time calibration signal automatically from the
applicable transmitter (in the middle of the night) and update its settings
accordingly. For information about the relationship between city codes and
transmitters, see page E-20 and "Transmitters" (page E-84).
See the maps under "Approximate Reception Ranges" (page E-21) for
information about the reception ranges of the watch.
Time Calibration Signal Reception
There are two different methods you can use to receive the time calibration signal:
auto receive and 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 pointing towards a window.
This watch is designed to receive a time calibration signal late at night. Because of
this, you should place the watch near a window as shown in the illustration when
you take it off at night. Make sure there are no metal objects nearby.

When using the watch outside the areas covered by the time signal transmitters,
you will have to adjust the current time setting manually as required. See "To set
the time and date manually" (page E-67) for more information about manual time
settings.
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.
Using this watch in a country covered by a time calibration signal that is different
from the countries it supports may result in incorrect time indication due to local
application of summer time, etc.
