To get ready for a receive operation
1.
Confi rm that the watch is in the Timekeeping Mode. If it isn't, hold down
least two seconds to enter the Timekeeping Mode.
2.
Place the watch in a location where signal reception is good.

What you should do next depends on whether you are using Auto Receive or
Manual Receive.
Auto Receive: Leave the watch over night in the location you selected in step 2.
See "Auto Receive" on page E-26 for details.
Manual Receive: Perform the operation under "To perform manual receive" on
page E-27.
Auto Receive
With Auto Receive, the watch performs the receive operation each day
automatically up to six times (up to fi ve times for the Chinese calibration signal)
between the hours of midnight and 5 a.m. (according to the Timekeeping Mode
time). When any receive operation is successful, none of the other receive
operations for that day are performed.
When a calibration time is reached, the watch will perform the receive operation
only if it is in the Timekeeping Mode. The receive operation is not performed if a
calibration time is reached while you are confi guring settings.
E-26
Signal reception is not performed when the power level is L (Low).
Note
To interrupt a receive operation and return to the Timekeeping Mode, press any
button.

cases it can take as long as
14 minutes. Take care that you do
not perform any button operation or
move the watch during this time.

As of December 2010, China does not use Daylight Saving Time (DST). If China
does go to the Daylight Saving Time system in the future, some functions of this
watch may no longer operate correctly.
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 daylight saving time (summer time), etc.
Signal reception may be diffi cult or even impossible under the conditions
described below.

To perform manual receive
1.
In the Timekeeping Mode (page E-35), keep
as the x Second Hand goes through the following sequence.
Moves to H (High), M (Medium), or L (Low) to indicate the power level and then
moves to R (READY).
x Second Hand indicates the operations the watch is currently performing.
2.
The
When the x x Second Hand is
pointed here:
R (READY)
W (WORK)
If signal reception is unstable, the x x Second Hand may
move between W (WORK) and R (READY).
When the receive operation is successful, the watch
adjusts the time setting accordingly, and then resumes
regular timekeeping. It does not adjust the setting if the
operation failed.
To check the result of the latest receive operation
In the Timekeeping Mode, press B. The x Second Hand
will move to H (High), M (Medium), or L (Low) to indicate
the power level, and then it will indicate the latest time
calibration signal receive operation result.
The x Second Hand will move to YES (Y) if the latest
receive operation was successful, or NO (N) if it was not.
After about 10 seconds, regular timekeeping will resume.
Press B to return to regular timekeeping. The watch will
also return to regular timekeeping if you do not perform
any operation for about 10 seconds.
Note
The x Second Hand will indicate NO (N) if you have adjusted the time or day
setting manually since the latest receive operation.
