General Guide
• Press C to change from mode to mode.
• About one or two seconds after you enter the World Time Mode, Alarm Mode, or
Hand Setting Mode, the hands will move to the position that indicates the current
setting of the mode.
• In the Timekeeping Mode (except when a setting screen is on the display), press B
to illuminate the face of the watch for about one second.
Radio-controlled Atomic Timekeeping
This watch receives a time calibration signal and updates its time setting accordingly.
• Supported time calibration signals: Germany (Mainflingen), England (Anthorn).
• See the information under "Signal Reception Troubleshooting" if you experience
problems with time calibration signal reception.
Current Time Setting
This watch adjusts its time setting automatically in accordance with a time calibration
signal. You also can perform a manual procedure to set the time and date, when
necessary.
• The first thing you should do after purchasing this watch is to specify your
Home City, which is the city where you normally will use the watch. For more
information, see "To specify your Home City".
• When using the watch outside the areas covered by the time signal transmitters, you
will have to adjust the current time setting manually as required. See "Timekeeping"
for more information about manual time settings.

• In addition to the above, you also can select city codes that are outside the ranges
of the time calibration signal transmitters supported by this watch.
3. After the Home City setting is the way you want, press A to return to the
Timekeeping Mode.
• Normally, your watch should show the correct time as soon as you specify your
Home City code. If it does not, it should adjust automatically after the next auto
receive operation. You also can perform manual receive or you can set the time
manually.
• Even if the time calibration signal is received correctly, there are some times when
the analog hands may not indicate the correct time. If this happens, use the
procedures under "Adjusting the Home Positions" to check the home positions of the
hands, and make adjustments as required.
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 receives the time calibration signal automatically up to six
times a day. When any auto receive is successful, the remaining auto receive
operations are not performed. 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".
Operation Guide 5041
To conserve battery power, the watch is shipped from the
factory with its functions disabled. Pressing any one of the
watch's three buttons will activate its functions, which will
cause the second hand to start moving and the digital
display to activate.
Timekeeping Mode
1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down A for about five
seconds until the watch beeps twice.
• The second hand will move to the city code of the
currently selected Home City. This is the city code
setting mode.
2. Use B to move the second hand to the city code you
want to use as your Home City.
• Each press of B causes the second hand to advance
clockwise to the next city code.
• Time calibration signal reception is supported when
any one of the city codes shown in the table below is
selected as your Home City.

Important!
• When getting ready to receive the time calibration signal, position the watch as
shown in the nearby illustration, with its 12 o'clock side facing towards a window.
This watch is designed to receive a time calibration signal late at night. Because of
this, you should place the watch near a window as shown in the illustration when you
take it off at night. Make sure there are no metal objects nearby.
• Make sure the watch is facing the right way.
• Proper signal reception can be difficult or even impossible under the conditions listed
below.
Inside or Inside a
among vehicle
buildings
• Signal reception normally is better at night than during the day.
• Time calibration signal reception takes from two to 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.
Approximate Reception Ranges
1,500 kilometers
Anthorn
500 kilometers
• In April 2007, the U.K. signal transmitter was moved from Rugby to Anthorn, which
resulted in a slight shift in the approximate reception range of the signal. The shift is
so slight that there is virtually no change in the ability to receive the signal.
• Even when the watch is within the reception range of a transmitter, signal reception
may be impossible at times due to the effects of geographic contours, structures,
weather, the season of the year, the time of day, radio interference, etc. Note that the
signal becomes weaker at distances of approximately 500 kilometers from the
transmitter, which means that the influence of the conditions listed above becomes
even greater.
• Button operations are indicated using the letters shown
in the illustration.
• Each section of this manual provides you with the
information you need to perform operations in each
mode. Further details and technical information can be
found in the "Reference" section.
