ABOUT RADIO RECEPTION

When the unit is within range of its respective radio signals, its
radio-control mechanism will override all manual settings unless
the auto-reception function is mannally disabled by the users.
When the unit is receiving radio signal, the RADIO RECEPTION
icon [
]will start to blink. A complete reception generally takes
about 2 to 10 minutes, depending on the strength of the radio signal.
After that, the periodical scanning will only take a few seconds.
When the reception is complete, the icon will stop blinking.
For better reception of radio signals, place the watch away from
metal objects and electrical appliances to minimize interference.
To improve the signal reception place the watch on a stable surface
as shown:
NOTES ON RADIO RECEPTION
Signals from other electrical devices such as mobile phones,
computers or other household appliances may cause interference
with this product and results in failure of reception of radio signal.
Metal furniture such as steel table also has similar effect on the
reception. Radio signal reception can also become difficult or even
impossible when the product is situated near radio stations, airports,
in tunnels or underground. This is normal and does not affect the
general performance of the product. In case auto-reception of radio
signal fails, you can manually activate the reception again by pressing
and holding the START/STOP (UP) button for 2 seconds.
To enhance reception of radio signal, you can also:
(a) Move the product to a location which is near to a window; for
optimization you can even leave the product overnight as it will
search for signal automatically at 2:00 am (summer time)/ 3:00
am (winter time); or
(b) Go outdoor and position the product towards the transmission
tower.
