Radio Wave Reception

2. For Good Reception

This watch incorporates an antenna for receiving radio waves inside the watch case (at
the 9:00 position). For good reception, remove the watch from your wrist and place the
watch in a stable location that facilitates reception of radio waves such as near a window
with the 9:00 position of the watch facing in the direction of the radio wave transmitter
station. Do not move the watch while receiving radio waves.
The reception level varies depending on the
environment in which the watch is used. Try
receiving radio waves while changing the
orientation or location of the watch several
times while referring to H, M or L that
indicates the reception level of the watch.
Find the location and direction where radio
waves are received easily as indicated by H
or M for the reception level.
