Receive Icon and Indicator

While reception is in progress, the

receive ( ) icon and the receive

indicator cycle from “Unstable”

through “Stable” as shown below.

How far they cycle depends on the

signal strength. Keep the watch in a

location where reception is stable

while it is in progress.

reception status and to determine the best location for

signal reception.

• Note that weather, the time of day, surroundings, and other

factors can all affect reception.

Configuring Signal Reception

Settings

Use the procedure below to turn auto calibration signal reception

on and off. When Tokyo (TYO) is selected as the Home City, you

can select either of two different Japanese transmitters for

reception.

• For information about selecting a Home City, see “Manually

Setting the Time and Date”.

• The initial factory default settings of the watch are TYO (Tokyo) for

the Home City, and AUTO (auto select) for the transmitter

selection mode.

• You can use the following procedure to turn auto signal reception

on or off, and to specify transmitter selection while any one of the

following is selected as your Home City: TYO (Tokyo), NYC (New

York), CHI (Chicago), DEN (Denver), or LAX (Los Angeles).

1. In the Timekeeping Mode,

press the

D button to

display the last reception

date and time in the

bottom dial.

• The display will return to the

normal timekeeping screen

automatically if you do not

perform any operation for

about one or two minutes.

2. Hold down the

A button

for about one second until

the current transmitter

mode starts to flash in the

bottom dial.

• This is the transmitter mode

setting screen.

Viewing the Last Reception Date and Time

In the Timekeeping Mode, press the

D button. This

displays the date and time of the last successful signal

reception in the bottom dial.

button again.

• The bottom dial also returns to the day of the week automatically

if you do not perform any operation for about one or two minutes.

Selecting this setting turns on auto receive. The watch always

receives the Mt. Hagane Mountain (60kHz).

Receiving the Calibration Signal

There are two methods you can use to receive the time calibration

signal.

• Auto receive (Reception is performed automatically at

midnight, 1:00, 2:00, 3:00, and 4:00 each morning.)

• Manual receive (You initiate reception using a button

operation.)

• If reception is not successful for any of the normal auto receive times

shown above, auto receive is performed one more time at 5:00 a.m.

• The watch is set up for auto reception at the factory, so all you

need to do is to place it in a location that allows good reception

each night.

❚

Setting Up to Make Reception Easier

Remove it from your wrist and place the watch somewhere so its

top (12 o’clock side, where the antenna is located) is facing

approximately in the direction of the signal transmitter. Keep it

away from metal objects.

• Orienting the watch so it is sideways to the transmitter makes it

more difficult to receive the signal.

• Do not move the watch while it is receiving the calibration signal.

Time Required for Reception

Signal reception takes anywhere from about two to six minutes.

When reception is successful

The watch terminates reception and adjusts the current time. Next

is receiving the calibration signal.

If you are experiencing problems with reception, move away

from the types of locations described above to a location with

better reception, and try again.

Near high-voltage linesAmong or near buildings

Near mountains

Inside a vehicle (automobile,

train, plane, etc.)

In a location where there is

radio interference (construction

site, airport, etc.)

Next to a household appliance or

office equipment (TV, speaker,
