【Official standard frequency of Japan: JJY】
JJY is operated by the National Institute of Information
and Communications Technology (NICT).
JJY is transmitted from two stations in Japan. Each
station transmits JJY in a different frequency.
・ Fukushima
(Ohtakadoya-yama transmitting station: 40 KHz)
・ Kyushu
(Hagane-yama transmitting station: 60 KHz)
The reception range from each transmitting
station is approximately 1,000 km (1,000 km
radius of each station).
・ The watch may display the incorrect time if it fails to receive radio signals properly
because of interference. The watch may fail to receive radio signals depending on the
location or reception conditions. In such a case, change the location of the watch.
・ Radio signals can easily be received during nighttime hours due to its characteristics.
・ The watch moves depending on the quartz movement (loss/gain: ±30 seconds per
month) when it is unable to receive radio signals.
・ The time signal transmission may be stopped during maintenance of the facilities of each
transmitting station or because of a lightning strike. In such a case, see each station's website
for further information or contact SEIKO CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER.
