the illustrations in this manual show Module 2735.
• Button operations are indicated using the letters shown in the illustration.
• This watch does not have a time zone that corresponds to the Greenwich
Mean Time differential of –3.5 hours. Because of this, the radio-controlled
timekeeping and World Time functions will not display the correct time for
Newfoundland, Canada.

Important!
• 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 can also perform manual receive or you
can set the time manually.
• If you are in an area that does not use Daylight Saving Time (summer time), turn off
the DST setting.
Time Calibration Signal Reception
There are two different methods you can use to receive the time calibration signal:
auto receive and manual receive.
• Auto Receive
With auto receive, the watch automatically picks up the time calibration signal four
times a day at 2:00 a.m., 3:00 a.m., 4:00 a.m., and 5:00 a.m. For more information,
see "About Auto Receive".
• Manual Receive
Manual receive lets you start a time calibration receive operation with the press of a
button. For more information, see "To perform manual receive".

• Even when the watch is within the reception range of the transmitter, signal
reception is impossible if the signal is blocked by mountains or other geological
formations between the watch and signal source.
• Signal reception is affected by weather, atmospheric conditions, and seasonal
changes.
• See the information under "Signal Receive Troubleshooting" if you experience
problems with time calibration signal reception.
About Auto Receive

calibration signal when the digital time in the Timekeeping Mode reaches 2:00 a.m.,
3:00 a.m., 4:00 a.m., and 5:00 a.m. each day (calibration times).
