Reception Of Radio Waves - Citizen Eco-Drive Manual

4. Reception of Radio Waves

There are three ways to receive radio waves consisting of Automatic Regular
Reception, Free Reception and Recovery Automatic Reception. Always make sure to
remove the watch from your wrist to receive radio waves. When reception is completed,
each hand automatically moves forward or backward to the received time.
Regular Automatic Reception
i Place the watch in a stable location where radio waves can be received easily such as
by a window with the 9:00 position of the watch facing in the direction of the radio
wave transmitter station. Radio waves are automatically received at 2:00 AM every
day, or if they are unable to be received at that time, are automatically received at
4:00 every day.
Free Reception
(Manual reception of radio waves)
i This function allows you receive radio waves at any time.
Step 1): Continuously depress button (A) for about 2 seconds, and release when
the second hand has rapidly advanced to "RX" (12:00 position) and stopped.

(Automatic reception of radio waves)
Step 2): Place the watch in a stable location where radio waves can be received
easily such as by a window with the 9:00 position of the watch facing in
the direction of the radio wave transmitter station.
The second hand then moves from RX to H, M or L indicating that radio
L
waves are being received.
When reception is completed, the second hand moves from H, M or L and
L
returns to 1-second interval movement.
The reception result can be confirmed by referring to "4. B. Confirmation of
Reception Result".
Recovery Automatic Reception
i After the watch has stopped as a result of being
insufficiently charged, radio waves are received once
automatically when the watch is sufficiently recharged by
exposing to light. Try to keep the watch charged at all
times so that it does not become insufficiently charged.
* When the watch is receiving the radio wave signal, all of
the hands will stop. To check the time, hold button (A) for 2
seconds to cancel radio wave reception. The hands will then return to the current time.
