Note: Radio signal may not be received in all locations (including Alaska and Hawaii). In this case, the time can be set manually, however, the day and date functions will not operate. About the Radio Signal (Atomic Function): The radio signal that controls the time, day of the week and date is broadcast through a radio station in Fort Collins, Colorado. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) operate the station, which is the U.S. Government agency that provides the nation's official time. Your watch is programmed to listen for the signal coming from this station overnight when it is strongest (at 3am, 4am, 5am and 6am daily) until the signal is received and your watch time is adjusted accordingly. You may also cue the watch to attempt to receive the signal on demand.

There is no Atomic Clock signal available in Australia. - The atomic function and calendar will not operate in Alaska or Hawaii because the watch cannot communicate with the National Institute of Standards and Technology from these states. However, it may still be used in those two states - and in countries where there is no atomic signal - as a regular 'manual-set' watch. Not to be sold in Canada and Europe.
