World Time lets you display the current time in any one of 30 cities (29 time zones) around the world.
Auto receive is turned on, but the receive icon is not on the
display.
• The receive icon appears when a signal is received successfully
and the time is updated. It is not displayed if there is no
successful signal reception throughout the day. Also note that the
icon disappears from the display each day at 3:00 a.m. Make sure
that you are using the watch in an area that is within the reception
range of a transmitter, and make sure that the watch is in the
Timekeeping Mode or World Time Mode when it is time for auto
signal reception.
The current auto receive on (ON)/off (OFF) setting does not
appear on the setting screen.
• The auto receive on/off setting is not displayed unless TYO
(Japan), NYC (New York), CHI (Chicago), DEN (Denver), or LAX
(Los Angeles) is selected as the Home City. Select the correct
Home City code using the procedure under “Selecting Your Home
City”.
The AUTO, 40, and 60 options do not appear for the transmitter
selection mode setting.
• The AUTO, 40, and 60 transmitter selection mode options are
available only when TYO (Tokyo) is selected as the Home City
code. Select the correct Home City code using the procedure
under “Selecting Your Home City”.
What time is auto receive performed?
• Auto receive is performed in the middle of the night, when
reception conditions are best. Before going to bed at night, place
the watch near a window, with its 12 o’clock position facing in the
general direction of the transmitter.
How can I perform manual receive?
• Hold down the lower right D button for about two seconds. The
watch will beep to indicate that manual receive has started. Place
it near a window, with its 12 o’clock position facing in the general
direction of the transmitter.
How can I view the last reception date and time?

will display the date and time that the time calibration signal was
last received successfully. To return to the Timekeeping Mode,
press the
D button again.

was displayed when you last exited the mode appears first.

If a World Time Mode time is incorrect, check the time setting
and time zone setting of the Timekeeping Mode, and correct
them if necessary.
