· Do not move the watch until the second hand returns to one-second interval
movement.
3. Recovery Automatic Reception
When the watch has stopped as a result of being insufficiently charged, recharge the watch
by sufficiently exposing it to light until the second hand moves at one second intervals.
Radio waves are then received once automatically when the watch is sufficiently charged.
<Reception Procedure>
· Place the watch in a stable location where it is exposed to direct sunlight and 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. Reception of radio
waves begins automatically once the watch has been sufficiently charged.
Note: Before using the watch, check the reception result. If radio waves have not been
received properly, perform Free Reception to properly receive radio waves.
