※  When the time difference is set for a region other than radio signal reception range, a radio signal cannot be received.

   Check the setting of the time difference → Setting the time difference (selecting a radio signal transmitting station) P.116

※  Radio signal reception results depend on a receiving environment.  → Environments in which it is 

difficult to receive a radio signal P.106

※  The watch cannot receive a radio signal outside the radio signal reception range.  → Radio signal

・  Manual reception

  This watch can receive a radio signal arbitrarily at any time other than the 

automatic reception mode.

  → How to conduct manual reception P.138

・  Automatic reception

   This watch sets the time by automatically receiving a radio signal at a fixed time.

  This watch automatically receives a radio signal before 2:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m.

■ Automatic reception and manual reception

※ When the reception is successful, the watch finishes the automatic reception.

・ Place the watch in a place where it can easily receive a radio signal (by the window, etc.)

・Do not move the watch during the radio signal reception.
