Auto Receive
With Auto Receive, the watch performs the receive operation each day
x
automatically up to six times (up to fi ve times for the Chinese calibration signal)
between the hours of midnight and 5 a.m. (according to the Timekeeping Mode
time). When any receive operation is successful, none of the other receive
operations for that day are performed.
When a calibration time is reached, the watch will perform the receive operation
between the hours of midnight and 5 a.m. (according to the Timekeeping Mode
time). When any receive operation is successful, none of the other receive
operations for that day are performed.
When a calibration time is reached, the watch will perform the receive operation
x
only if it is in the Timekeeping Mode or World Time Mode. The receive operation
is not performed if a calibration time is reached while you are confi guring settings,
while a countdown timer operation is in progress, or while the hands have been
moved for easier viewing of the digital dials (page E-79).

Even when the watch is within range of a transmitter, signal reception may be
x
impossible due to the effects of geographic contours, structures, weather, the time
of year, the time of day, radio interference, etc. The signal becomes weaker at
distances of approximately 500 kilometers, which means that the infl uence of the
conditions listed above becomes even greater.
