Radio Wave Reception

5. For Best Reception

There are three kinds of reception: automatic reception, on demand reception,
and recovery automatic reception. When the radio wave has been properly
received, your watch will automatically adjust the time. When reception is
complete, each of the hands will move either clockwise or counterclockwise to
the received time.
Remove the watch from your wrist and
place on a stable surface near a window
where the radio wave can be easily received,
pointing the 9:00 position in the direction of
the radio wave transmitter.
Do not move the watch during reception.
• Reception may be difficult due to the surroundings or metal shielding.
When inside a building, place the watch as close to a window as possible for good
reception.
• Radio wave reception may be difficult during the hours around sunrise and sunset. Avoid
attempting to receive radio waves during these times.
