Important!

When getting ready to receive the time calibration signal, position the watch
as shown in the nearby illustration, with its 12 o’clock side facing towards a
window. This watch is designed to receive a time calibration signal late at
night. Because of this, you should place the watch near a window as shown
in the illustration when you take it off at night. Make sure there are no metal
objects nearby.

12 o’clock

or

Make sure the watch is facing the right way.
