About Auto Receive
The watch receives the time calibration signal automatically up to 6 times a day
(5 times a day for the Chinese calibration signal). 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 City, and
whether standard time or Daylight Saving Time is selected for your Home City.

Note
• When a calibration time is reached, the watch will receive the calibration signal 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 configuring settings.
• Auto receive 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 seven minutes everyday when
the time in the Timekeeping Mode reaches a calibration time. Do not perform any
button operation within seven 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 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 actually is the correct time.

• Use the signal strength indicator as a guide for checking signal strength and for
finding the best location for the watch during signal receive operations.
• Following reception of the time calibration signal and calibration of the watch's time
setting, the RCVD indicator will remain on the display in all modes. The RCVD
indicator will not be displayed if signal reception was unsuccessful or after you adjust
the current time setting manually.
• The RCVD indicator is displayed only when the watch is able to receive both time
and date data successfully. It does not appear when only time data is received.
• The RCVD indicator indicates that at least one of the auto calibration signal receive
operations was successful. Note, however, that the RCVD indicator disappears from
the display each day when the first auto receive operation of the day is performed.

• If the last reception fails but a previous reception was

• Following the ERR (receive failed) display, the watch will
return to normal timekeeping without changing the time
setting if you press D or if you do not perform any
button operation for one or two minutes.

About the Signal Strength Indicator
The signal strength 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 signal strength indicator is displayed while an auto or
manual receive operation is in progress.

• Even in an area where signal strength is strong, it takes about 10 seconds for signal
reception to stabilize enough for the signal strength indicator to indicate signal
strength.

2. Hold down D for about two seconds until RCVD starts
to flash on the display. This indicates that manual
receive is in progress.
• Time calibration signal reception takes from two to
seven minutes. Take care that you do not perform
any button operations or move the watch during this
time.
• If the receive operation is successful, the reception

• The watch also will return to normal timekeeping if you
do not perform any button operation for about one or
two minutes.
To turn auto receive on and off
1. In the Timekeeping Mode, press D to display the latest
successful receive time and date screen (page E-28).
2. Hold down A until the current auto receive setting (ON
or OFF) starts to flash. This is the setting screen.
