Use D to select the Receive Mode (R/C) as shown on page E-26.
Hold down A until RC Hold appears on the display and then disappears.
- A signal level indicator (L1, L2, or L3, see page E-21) will appear on the display after reception starts. Do not allow the watch to move and do not perform any button operation until GET or ERR appears on the display.
- If the receive operation is successful, the reception date and time appear on the display, along with the GET indicator. The watch will return to the Timekeeping Mode if you press D or if you do not perform any button operation for about two or three minutes.
- If the current reception fails but a previous reception (within the last 24 hours) was successful, the display shows the receiving indicator and the ERR indicator. If the ERR indicator only is displayed (without the receiving indicator), it means that all of the receive operations over the past 24 hours have failed. The watch will return to the Timekeeping Mode without changing the time setting if you press D or if you do not perform any button operation for about two or three minutes.
Note
You can interrupt a time calibration signal reception operation by pressing any button.
During manual receive, the signal level indicator displays the signal level as shown below.
The level indication will change in accordance with reception conditions while reception is being performed.
As you watch the indicator, keep the watch in a location that best maintains stable reception.
- Even under optimum reception conditions, it can take about 10 seconds for reception to stabilize.
- Note that weather, the time of day, surroundings, and other factors all can affect reception.
