<Radio wave reception function>
If you believe your watch may be inoperative, consult the following chart:
Problem Check Remedy
The watch does not
receive radio waves.
• Does the second hand
align with the RX
(receiving) position?
• Press and hold the lower right
button (A) until the second hand
has reached the RX position.
The watch can
receive the radio
wave, but it does
not show the correct
time.
The second hand
does not align
accurately with the
OK/RX/NO
positions.
• Is the reference position
set correctly?
• Confirm the reference position.
(p.120)
If the reference position is not
correctly set, refer to “Correcting
the Reference Position” and
correct the reference position.
(p.136)
Problem Check Remedy
Reception is
successful, but the
time is out by a
factor of hours.
• Check the time difference
setting.
• Set the correct time difference
setting. (p.134)
• Was the watch moved
during reception while the
second hand was aligned
with the RX position?
• Do not move the watch until the
radio wave has been properly
received (until normal hand
movement returns).
• Try to receive the wave again
after a few hours.
• Avoiding objects that shield the
radio waves and sources of radio
noise, try to receive the wave
with the 9:00 position of the
watch pointing towards a window.
Find a location such as window
that is conducive to radio wave
reception and change the watch
location, direction and angle. (
p.124
)
• Radio waves may be
interrupted occasionally
due to special
circumstances at the radio
wave transmitter.
• Are there objects nearby
that could block radio
waves or generate noise?
• Are you attempting to
receive the radio wave in
a location far from a
window?
Radio wave cannot
be received (where
reception is
possible).
