To adjust the time zone and time by GPS signal reception (time zone adjustment)

Time zone adjustment
The time zone where you are is localized to adjust the watch to the precise
current time by just one button operation anywhere in the world.
This reflects the data regarding the adoption of DST (Daylight Saving Time) in
the country that received the GPS signals.
The time automatically switches to adjust for the adoption and duration of DST
(Daylight Saving Time) for countries that follow DST (Daylight Saving Time).
"Normal time" always appears for countries that do not adopt DST (Daylight
Saving Time).
→ How to adjust the time zone
* Failure or success of reception depends on the reception environment. → Place where GPS signals can be easily
received/Place where GPS signals cannot be
* GPS signal reception consumes a lot of energy.

"full."→ How to charge the watch P. 14

Precautions on time zone adjustment
If the time zone is adjusted near a time zone boundary, the time of the adjacent time zone
may be displayed.
In some areas the boundaries observed by the watch may not exactly correlate to the actual
time zone markers on the land. This does not indicate a malfunction.
In this case, set the time zone in the manual time zone setting mode.
→ How to manually set the time zone
When the time zone is adjusted while traveling on land, avoid time zone boundaries to carry
out time zone adjustment in the representative cities in the time zone whenever possible.
In addition, when the watch is used near time zone boundaries, make sure to check the
time zone setting, and manually set the time zone as necessary.
