3. Receiving Radio Waves
In addition to the most commonly used Regular Automatic Reception and Free Reception,
radio waves can also be received by using Recovery Automatic Reception by which radio
waves are received when the watch is charged until the second hand moves at one-second
intervals after having stopped due to being insufficiently charged. The time and date are
corrected automatically when radio waves have been properly received. When reception is
completed, each hand either moves forward or backward to indicate the received time.
