the direction of the radio wave transmitter station.  The watch automatically receives
radio waves twice a day at 3:00 AM and 4:00 AM.

2. Free Reception

Reception begins when button (A) at the 4:00 position is pressed for about 2 seconds.
Remove the watch from your wrist and place it in a stable location 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.  When reception is completed, the second
hand returns to one-second interval movement.  Do not move the watch until reception is
completed.

<Reception Procedure>

(1) Press button (A) located at the 4:00 position for about 2 seconds and then release.  

· Confirm that the second hand has moved to the RX: Reception Standby position

(12:00 position).  

(2) Place the watch in a stable location 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.

(3) After that, the second hand moves from the RX position to H, M or L indicating that

reception is in progress.

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.
