2. Free Reception
· Free reception can be used to receive radio waves at any time.
(1) When receiving radio waves, remove the watch from your wrist and place it in a stable
location where radio waves can be received easily such as by a window with the 6:00
position of the watch facing in the direction of the radio wave transmitter station.
(2) Press button (B) at the 4:00 position for about 2 seconds or more. After the hearing the
confirmatory tone, release your finger after checking that the second hand has moved to
the standby position (RX) (12:00). The remainder of the procedure is the same as steps
(2) and (3) of the procedure for regular automatic reception (on the previous page).
<Tone Indicating Completion of Free Reception>
· If reception is successful, a beeping tone sounds twice and the watch is corrected to the
correct time.
· If reception has failed, a beeping tone sounds once and the watch returns to the time
display prior to radio wave reception.
3. Recovery Automatic Reception
· When the watch has stopped as a result of being insufficiently charged, radio waves are
then received once automatically. However, charge the watch for about 30 minutes under
direct sunlight to initiate recovery automatic reception. Try to keep the watch charged at
all times so that it does not become insufficiently charged.
A. Position of the Second Hand During Reception
(movement of second hand from start of reception to completion)
[Reception Standby] [Reception in Progress] [Completion of Reception]
The second hand
moves to the RX
position and stops.
The second hand
moves to either the H,
M or L reception level.
Although the second
hand may turn to
correct the time during
reception, this does not
mean that reception is
completed.
When radio waves have been
received properly, the second
hand returns to one-second
interval movement and each
hand is automatically corrected to
the correct time. If radio waves
were unable to be received, the
watch returns to the time prior to
radio wave reception. Never
move the watch until the second
hand returns to one-second
interval movement.
