Time Calibration Signal Reception
This watch is designed to pick up a time calibration signal and update its time setting
in accordance with the signal. There are two different methods you can use to receive
the signal: Auto Receive and Manual Receive. With Auto Receive, the watch
automatically receives the calibration signal three times each day and makes
appropriate adjustments. With Manual Receive, you perform a specific button
operation to receive the calibration signal.
Before performing a signal receive operation, remove the watch from you wrist and
position it as shown in the illustrations below.
• If your watch has a resin band, pass the end of the band through the band loop and
place the watch on a stable surface.

Note
• If you are using the time calibration signal to set the time for this watch, be sure to
correctly set your Home City. Otherwise, there is the chance that the watch will not
set the correct time.
• Note that signal reception is possible only when the watch is within range of a time
calibration signal transmitter, and a city code that supports signal reception is
selected as the Home City code.
• The current time setting in accordance with the time calibration signal takes priority
over any time settings you make.
• Auto receive is turned on when the watch is shipped from the factory.
• Time calibration signal reception is disabled while the analog hands are moving after
you change the digital time setting.
• See the information under "Time Calibration Signal Reception" if you experience
problems with time calibration signal reception.
