Radio-controlled Timekeeping
This watch is designed to pick up a time calibration signal and updates its time setting
accordingly. The time calibration signal includes both Standard Time and Daylight
Saving Time (summer time) data.
• When within range of the applicable transmitter, this watch can receive either
Continental U.S. or Japanese time calibration signals.
Current Time Setting
This watch automatically adjusts its time setting in accordance with a time calibration
signal. You can also perform a manual procedure to set the time and date, when
necessary.
• The first thing you should do after purchasing this watch is to set your Home City,
which is the city where you will normally use the watch. For more information, see
“To set your Home City” below.
• See “Timekeeping” for information about manual settings.
To set your Home City
1.Enter the Timekeeping Mode.
2.Hold down A until the seconds start to flash, which
indicates the setting screen.
3.Press C twice so the current city code is flashing.
4.Use D (east) and B (west) to scroll through the city
codes until the one you want to use as your Home City
is displayed.
• The following are the city codes for major cities in the
Continental United States time zones and in Japan.

: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas,
Seattle

• 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 (see “To
perform manual receive”) or you can set the time manually (see “Setting the Time
and Date Manually”).
• If you are in an area that does not use Daylight Saving Time (summer time), turn off
the DST setting (see “To change the Daylight Saving Time (summer time) 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 three
times a day at 2:00 AM, 4:00 AM, and 5:00 AM. 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.”
Important!
• Position the watch as shown in the nearby illustration, with its 12 o’clock side facing
towards a window. Make sure there are no metal objects nearby.

• Signal reception is normally better at night than during the day.
• Time calibration signal reception normally takes from two to six minutes. In Japan,
however, reception can take up to 12 minutes. Take care that you do not perform any
button operations or move the watch during this time.
• When within range of the applicable transmitter, this watch can receive either
Continental U.S. (Fort Collins, Colorado) or Japanese (Fukushima or Fukuoka/Saga)
time calibration signals. The signal the watch will attempt to pick up depends on its
current Home City code setting as shown below.

• Under good reception conditions, signal reception is possible within a radius of
about 2,000 miles (3,000 kilometers) from the Fort Collins transmitter.
• At distances further than about 600 miles (1,000 kilometers) from the Fort Collins
transmitter, the signal may become weak and reception may be impossible under
certain conditions.
• At distances further than about 500 kilometers from the Fukushima and Fukuoka/
Saga transmitter, the signal may become weak and reception may be impossible
under certain conditions.
• See the information under “Signal Receive Troubleshooting” if you experience
problems with time calibration signal reception.

About Auto Receive
When auto receive is turned on, the watch automatically starts to receive the time
calibration signal when the time in the Timekeeping Mode reaches 2:00 AM, 4:00 AM,
and 5:00 AM each day (calibration times).
Note
• The watch performs auto receive only if Mode Menu screen is on the display, or if
the watch is in the Timekeeping Mode, or World Time Mode when one of the
calibration times is reached. Auto receive is not performed if a calibration time is
reached while an alarm is sounding, or while you are configuring settings (while
settings are flashing on the display).
• Auto receipt of the calibration signal is designed to be performed early in the
morning, while you sleep (provided that the Timekeeping Mode time is set correctly).
Before going to bed for the night, remove the watch from your wrist, and put it in a
location where it can easily receive the signal.
• When auto receive is turned on, the watch receives the calibration signal for two to six
minutes everyday when the Timekeeping Mode reaches each of the three calibration
times. Do not perform any button operation within six minutes before or after any of the
three calibration times. Doing so can interfere with correct calibration.
