BASIC OPERATION
Automatic time adjustment
This watch can be set to the precise current time by automatically
receiving GPS signals by exposure to bright light outdoors under an
open sky to adjust the time.
In addition, when the watch is concealed under a sleeve and the dial
is not exposed to suffi cient light even if outdoors under an open sky,
the watch stores the time of the previous successful manual time
adjustment (or time zone adjustment), and automatically starts time
adjustment at the same time.
※ T he automatic time adjustment is performed at most one time per day. Therefore,
even if automatic time adjustment has failed, the next automatic time adjustment will
be performed the next day or thereafter.
※ I f the energy is suffi ciently charged, automatic reception will be performed every day.
During reception, the hands move in the same manner as the manual time adjustment.

< When it is diffi cult to expose to light suffi ciently >
Even if outdoors under an open sky, when the watch is concealed under a sleeve in winter time, etc., in
an area where the daylight hours are short, or when the watch is not likely to be exposed to suffi cient
light for a long time due to bad weather, the watch is designed to allow for automatic time reception at
the time when the manual time adjustment was successful the last time.
When the watch is exposed to the operating environment above, automatic time adjustment is likely
to be successful by making manual time adjustment successful in time periods where the watch is
frequently used in a place where GPS signals can be easily received under an open sky.
