TIMEKEEPING
This watch automatically adjusts its time setting in accordance with the time
calibration signal (Call Sign: WWVB) transmitted from the National Institute of
Standard and Technology (NIST) in Fort Collins, Colorado. You can also perform a
manual procedure to set the time and date, when necessary.
Important!
• Before using the watch after purchasing it, use the procedure under "Selecting Your
Time Zone City Code" to specify your city code, and then use the procedure under
"To trigger a calibration signal receive operation manually".
• The Fort Collins time calibration signal includes both standard time and Daylight
Saving Time data. This means the watch can automatically adjusts for DST, even if
you do not specify it manually. See "Daylight Saving Time Setting" for more
information.
Setting the Time and Date
There are three different methods you can use to set the watch's time and date.
• Auto receive of the time calibration signal
• Manual receive of the time calibration signal
• Manual setting without using the time calibration signal
No matter which method you use, you must specify your time zone city code first (see
below).
Selecting Your Time Zone City Code
Use one of the procedures below to specify your current time zone. If you move to a
different time zone either inside or outside of the Continental United States, simply
change the time zone setting and the watch adjusts its current time and date settings
accordingly.
• To select a time zone within the Continental United States, use the procedure under
"To select your time zone city code".
• To select another time zone, use the procedure under "To select a time zone outside
the Continental United States".
Important!
• Make sure you set the correct time zone city code for the time zone where you are
located. The wrong time zone city will cause the watch to display the wrong time.
• The time zone city code (LAX, DEN, CHI, NYC, etc.) is not shown on the
Timekeeping screen. See "To view the current time zone city code".
To select your time zone city code
In the Timekeeping Mode, use the key operations shown in the table below to select
the indicated city code. Hold down this key until the watch beeps (about two seconds).
• Selecting a city code causes the year, month, day, hour, minutes, and DST settings
to change accordingly.
