The current time setting changes after I set it manually.
You may have the watch confi gured for Auto Receive of the time calibration signal
(page E-25), which will cause the time to be adjusted automatically according to your
currently selected Home City. If this results in the wrong time setting, check your
Home City setting and correct it, if necessary (page E-34).

Signal reception on a day for
switching between
STD
(standard

DST
(daylight saving time) may
have failed for some reason.
Perform the operation under “To get ready
for a receive operation”. The time setting
will be adjusted automatically as soon as
signal reception is successful.

watch, or performing a button
operation during the signal receive
operation.
The watch is in an area with poor

reception conditions.
Keep the watch in an area where reception
conditions are good while the signal receive
operation is being performed.

You are in an area where signal
reception is not possible for some
reason.
See “Approximate Reception Ranges”.
