• Under good reception conditions, signal reception is possible within a radius of
about 2,000 miles (3,000 kilometers) from the Fort Collins (the United States)
transmitter.
• At distances further than about 600 miles (1,000 kilometers) from the Fort Collins
(the United States) transmitter, signal reception may not be possible during certain
times of year or times of day. Radio interferance may also cause problems with
reception.
• Under good reception conditions, signal reception is possible within a radius of
about 1,000 kilometers (600 miles) from the Fukushima and Fukuoka/ Saga (Japan)
transmitter.
• At distances further than about 500 kilometers (310 miles) from the Fukushima and
Fukuoka/ Saga (Japan) transmitter, signal reception may not be possible during
certain times of year or times of day. Radio interferance may also cause problems
with reception.
• See the information under “Signal Reception Troubleshooting” if you experience
problems with time calibration signal reception.
About Auto Receive
The watch receives the time calibration signal automatically up to five times a day.
When any auto receive is successful, the remaining auto receive operations are not
performed. The reception schedule (calibration times) depends on your currently
selected Home Time Zone, and whether standard time or Daylight Saving Time is
selected for your Home Time Zone.

Note
• When a calibration time is reached, the watch will automatically receive the
calibration signal only if it is in either the Timekeeping Mode or Receive Result
Mode. It is not performed if a calibration time is reached while you are configuring
settings.
• 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 receive the signal easily.
• The watch receives the calibration signal for two to ten minutes everyday when the
time in the Timekeeping Mode reaches each of the calibration times. Do not perform
any button operation within ten minutes before or after any one of the calibration
times. Doing so can interfere with correct calibration.
• Remember that reception of the calibration signal depends on the current time in the
Timekeeping Mode. The receive operation will be performed whenever the display
shows any one of the calibration times, regardless of whether or not the displayed
time is actually the correct time.

About the Receiving Indicator
The receiving indicator shows the strength of the calibration signal being received. For
best reception, be sure to keep the watch in a location where signal strength is
strongest.
The receiving indicator is displayed while an auto or manual receive operation is in
progress.
• Use the receiving indicator as a guide for checking signal strength and for finding the
best location for the watch during signal reception.
To perform manual receive
1.Place the watch on a stable surface so its 6 o’clock side
is facing towards a window.
2.Hold down A for about two seconds until
R0 starts to
flash on the display.
• The second hand will move to 12 o’clock and stay there
while actual reception is in progress.
• The hour and minute hands continue to keep time
normally.
• Time calibration signal reception takes from two to ten
minutes. Take care that you do not perform any button
operations or move the watch during this time.
• When receive is successful, the display shows the time
that receive was successful.
• The watch will enter the Timekeeping Mode if you press
A or if you do not perform any button operation for
about three minutes.

reception.
• The Home Time Zone setting is not
correct for the area where you are
using the watch.
• The home position of the hands is
off.
• Select the correct Home
Time Zone.
• Enter the Home Position
Adjustment Mode and adjust
the home position.
Adjusting the Home Positions
If the time and date settings are wrong even after the time calibration signal is
received normally, use the following procedure to adjust their home positions.
To adjust the home positions
1.While in the Timekeeping Mode, hold down A and B
for about five seconds.
• The analog hands do not keep time during home
position adjustment.
2.Check the position of the second hand.
• The second hand home position is correct if it is
pointing at 12 o’clock.
• If the second hand is not pointing at 12 o’clock, it
means that its home position is off. If this happens,
press A to move the second hand clockwise in one-
second steps, until it points at 12 o’clock.
• Holding down A for more than two seconds causes
the hands to move at high speed. Pressing A again
stops the hands.
