• The receiving indicator (Level 4) remains on the display in all modes following
reception of the time calibration signal and calibration of the watch’s time setting.
The receiving indicator (Level 4) is not displayed if signal reception was
unsuccessful or after manual adjustment of the current time setting.
About Auto Receive
When auto receive is turned on, the watch automatically starts to receive the time
calibration signal when the time in the Timekeeping Mode reaches 2:00 AM, 3:00 AM,
4:00 AM, and 5:00 AM each day (calibration times).
Note
• The auto receive operation is performed only if the watch is in the Timekeeping or
World Time Mode when one of the calibration times is reached.
It is not performed if a calibration time is reached while you are making settings
(while settings are flashing on the display) or while an alarm is sounding.
• Auto receipt 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 easily receive the signal.
• The receiving indicator (Level 4) indicates that either the 2:00 AM, 3:00 AM, 4:00 AM
or 5:00 AM calibration signal reception was successful. Note, however, that the
receiving indicator (Level 4) is cleared from the display at 3:00 AM each day.
• If you do not see the receiving indicator (Level 4) except for the above reason, it
means there was some problem with the calibration reception operation. Either
perform reception manually, or make sure the watch is set up properly to receive the
time calibration signal for the next automatic reception time.
• Though this watch is designed to receive both time data (hour, minutes, seconds)
and date data (year, month, day), certain signal conditions can limit reception to time
data only.
• The receiving indicator (Level 4) is displayed only when the watch is able to
successfully receive both time and date data. It does not appear when only time data
is received.
• Normally, the signal reception date shown by the Last Signal screen is the date data
included in the received time calibration signal. When only time data is received,
however, the Last Signal screen shows date as kept in the Timekeeping Mode at the
time of signal reception.
• When auto receive is turned on, the watch receives the calibration signal for two to
six minutes each day when the Timekeeping Mode time reaches 2:00 AM, 3:00 AM,
4:00 AM, and 5:00 AM. Do not operate any of the watch’s buttons within six minutes
prior to or following the calibration times. Doing so can interfere with correct
calibration.
• Remember that reception of the calibration signal depends on the time kept in the
Timekeeping Mode. The receive operation will be performed whenever the display
shows 2:00 AM, 3:00 AM, 4:00 AM, and 5:00 AM, regardless of whether or not the
Timekeeping Mode time is actually the correct time.
• When two, three, or four receptions are successful, the watch uses the data of the
last reception for calibration. When only one reception is successful, the watch uses
the data of the successful reception.
To turn auto receive on and off
1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down A until the city
code starts to flash, which indicates the setting screen.

 Auto Summer Time (DST) Switching
The time calibration signal transmitted from Mainflingen, Germany includes both
Standard Time and summer time (Daylight Saving Time) data. When auto summer
time (DST) switching is turned on, the watch switches between Standard Time and
summer time (DST) automatically in accordance with the calibration signal.
• Daylight Saving Time (DST) advances the time setting by one hour from Standard
Time. Remember that not all countries or even local areas use Daylight Saving Time.
• When using the watch within the reception range of the Mainflingen transmitter, and
BER, PAR, LON, or ATH is selected as the Home City code, select Auto DST to turn
on the auto summer time setting.
• The default summer time setting is Auto DST whenever you select BER, PAR, LON
or ATH as your Home City code.
• If you experience problems receiving the time calibration signal in your area, it is
probably best to switch between Standard Time and summer time (Daylight Saving
Time) manually.
• See “To set the current time and date manually” for information about configuring
summer time (DST) settings manually.
To select the auto summer time setting
1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down A until the city code starts to flash, which
indicates the setting screen.
2. Press C and the summer time (DST) setting screen appears.
3. Use C to cycle through the summer time settings in the sequence shown below.

degrees too high more than 15 degrees above or below parallel. Make
sure that the back of your hand is parallel to the ground.
• The backlight turns off in about one second, even if you
keep the watch pointed towards your face.
• Static electricity or magnetic force can interfere with
proper operation of the auto light switch. If the backlight
does not light, try moving the watch back to the starting
position (parallel with the ground) and then tilt it back
toward you again. If this does not work, drop your arm
all the way down so it hangs at your side, and then bring
it back up again.
• Under certain conditions, the backlight may not light until
about one second after you turn the face of the watch
towards you. This does not necessarily indicate
malfunction of the backlight.
• You may notice a very faint clicking sound coming from
the watch when it is shaken back and forth. This sound
is caused by mechanical operation of the auto light
switch, and does not indicate a problem with the watch.

Backlight Precautions
• The electro-luminescent panel that provides illumination loses power after very long
use.
• The illumination provided by the backlight may be hard to see when viewed under
direct sunlight.
• The watch may emit an audible sound whenever the display is illuminated. This is
due to vibration of the EL panel used for illumination, and does not indicate
malfunction.
• The backlight automatically turns off whenever an alarm sounds.
• Frequent use of the backlight shortens the battery life.
Auto light switch precautions
• Wearing the watch on the inside of your wrist and movement or vibration of your arm
can cause the auto light switch to activate and illuminate the display. To avoid
running down the battery, turn off the auto light switch whenever engaging in
activities that might cause frequent illumination of the display.

state whenever it is left in an area where it is dark for a certain period. The table below
shows how watch functions are affected by the Power Saving function. • Based on data as of June 2002.
Elapsed Time Display Operation
in Dark
60 to 70 minutes Blank, with Sleep indicator (S ) All functions enabled, except
flashing for the display
6 or 7 days Blank, with Sleep indicator (S ) Beeper tone, backlight, display,
not flashing and auto receipt of the
calibration signal are disabled.
• Wearing watch inside the sleeve of clothing can cause it to enter the sleep state.
• The watch will not enter the sleep state between 6:00 AM and 10:59 PM. If the
watch is already in the sleep state when 6:00 AM arrives, however, it will remain in
the sleep state.
To recover from the sleep state
Perform any one of the following operations.
• Move the watch to a well-lit area. It can take up to two seconds for the display to turn
on.
• Press any button.
• Angle the watch towards your face for reading.

3. Press C seven times until the Power Saving on/off
screen appears.
4. Press D to toggle Power Saving on (ON) and off
(OFF).
5. After the setting is the way you want, press A to exit
the setting screen.

Backlight Precautions
• The electro-luminescent panel that provides illumination loses power after very long
use.
• The illumination provided by the backlight may be hard to see when viewed under
direct sunlight.
• The watch may emit an audible sound whenever the display is illuminated. This is
due to vibration of the EL panel used for illumination, and does not indicate
malfunction.
• The backlight automatically turns off whenever an alarm sounds.
• Frequent use of the backlight shortens the battery life.

Auto light switch precautions

• Wearing the watch on the inside of your wrist and movement or vibration of your arm
can cause the auto light switch to activate and illuminate the display. To avoid
running down the battery, turn off the auto light switch whenever engaging in
activities that might cause frequent illumination of the display.
