Notes on the time signal reception

There are three ways to receive the time signal:

The second hand indicates the reception result (OK/NO). (See page 41)

Methods

Explanations

Automatic

reception

Receives the signal at 2:00 a.m. every day. If reception is unsuccessful, the

watch tries to receive at 3:00 a.m.

On demand

reception

Starts receiving the signal when you want to adjust the time and date.

(See page 43.)

Recovery

automatic

reception

Automatically receives the signal once after charging when the watch

stops due to insufficient charge.

• Even when this watch receives the time signal successfully, the accuracy of the displayed

time will be dependent on the reception environment and internal processing.

• If the watch is not able to receive the signal, it will operate normally within an accuracy

range of ±15 seconds per month.
