Operation Guide 5173
E-29
Time calibration signal reception takes from two to x
seven minutes, but in some cases it can take as long
as 14 minutes. Take care that you do not perform any
button operations or move the watch during this time.
When a signal receive operation is successful, x GET
appears on the upper display and the lower display
shows the time and date of the successful operation.
The watch will adjust its time setting in accordance
with the information provided by the signal.
The watch will return to the Timekeeping Mode if you x
press A or if you do not perform any operation for
about one or two minutes.
x ERR will appear on the upper display if the receive
operation is not successful. The watch will not adjust
its time setting in this case. Press A to return to the
Timekeeping Mode.

To perform manual receive
Place the watch on a stable surface so its 12 o’clock 1.
side is facing towards a window (page E-18).
In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down 2. A for about two
seconds until the watch beeps.
The digital display will go blank, and the left dial hand 3.
will move to R (READY). This indicates that the watch is
getting ready for time calibration signal reception.
See the information under “Signal Reception x
Troubleshooting” (page E-32) if you experience problems.
The left dial hand will move to x W (WORK) and stay
there while actual reception is in progress.
If signal reception is unstable during reception, the x
left dial hand may move between W (WORK) and R
(READY).
The hour and minute hands continue to keep time x
normally.

Note
When a calibration time is reached, the watch will receive the calibration signal x
only if it is in either the Timekeeping Mode or World Time Mode. Reception is not
performed if a calibration time is reached while you are confi
guring settings.
Auto receive of the calibration signal is designed to be performed early in the x
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 14 minutes everyday when x
the time in the Timekeeping Mode reaches a calibration time. Do not perform any
button operation within 14 minutes before or after the calibration times. Doing so
can interfere with correct calibration.
Remember that reception of the calibration signal depends on the current time in x
your Home City, as kept in the Timekeeping Mode.

About Auto Receive
The watch receives the time calibration signal automatically up to six times a day
(fi ve times for the China signal). When any auto receive is successful, remaining auto
receive operations are not performed. The reception schedule (calibration times)
depends on your currently selected Home City, and whether standard time or Daylight
Saving Time is selected for your Home City.
