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.

correctly set your Home City. Otherwise, there is the chance that the watch will not
set the correct time. See "Setting the Time and Date Manually" for details.
• 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.

over any time settings you make.
• Auto receive is turned on when the watch is shipped from the factory.

problems with time calibration signal reception.
