■ Automatic reception and manual reception
・ Automatic reception
T his watch sets the time by automatically receiving a radio signal at a fixed time.
This watch automatically receives a radio signal before 2:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m.
※ When the reception is successful, the watch finishes the automatic reception.
・ P lace the watch in a place where it can easily receive a radio signal (by the window, etc.)
・Do not move the watch during the radio signal reception.
→ To Improve Radio Signal Reception P.105
・ Manual reception
T his watch can receive a radio signal arbitrarily at any time other than the
automatic reception mode.
→ How to conduct manual reception P.138
※ W hen the time difference is set for a region other than radio signal reception range, a radio signal cannot be received.
