Note
• Auto receiv e wor ks only while the w atch is in the Timekeeping Mode. Auto receive is
not performed if an auto receive time is reached while an alarm is sounding, or if a
setting screen (a screen with a flashing setting) is on the displa y .
• Auto receiv e 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 f or the night, remove the watch from your wrist, and put it in a
location where it can receive the signal easily .
• When auto receive is turned on, the watch receives the calibr ation signal for two to
14 minutes e veryday when the time in the Timekeeping Mode reaches each of the
calibration times. Avoid perf or ming any b utton operation within 14 minutes bef ore or
after any one of 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 perf ormed whenever the displa y
shows any one of the calibr ation times, regardless of whether or not the display ed
time actually is the correct time.
