4. Radio Wave Reception
There are three kinds of reception: automatic reception, on demand reception,
and recovery automatic reception. When the radio wave has been properly
received, your watch will automatically correct the time and date.
[NOTE] Do not move the watch until the radio wave has been properly received.
1. Automatic reception
The watch will receive the radio waves at 2 a.m. every day. If the radio wave cannot be
received at 2 a.m., it will begin receiving radio waves again automatically at 4 a.m.
(If the watch has successfully received the radio wave at 2 a.m., reception is not
performed at 4 a.m.)
1 Remove the watch from your wrist and place on a stable surface near a window,
where the radio wave can be easily received, with the 6:00 position pointing to the
direction of the radio wave transmitter.
2 After the second hand has been moved to the reception standby (RX) position, it will
point to H, M or L to indicate the reception level, and reception will begin.
3 When the radio wave has been properly received, the second hand will automatically
move from H, M or L and return to the correct time.

2. On demand reception
Radio waves can be received at any time.
1 Remove the watch from your wrist and place on a stable surface near a window,
where the radio wave can be easily received, with the 6:00 position pointing to the
direction of the radio wave transmitter.
2 Press and hold button (A), located at the 4:00 position, for more than 2 seconds.
After the confi rmation tone has sounded, the second hand will move to the RX:
reception standby position (12:00). Release the button.
Next, perform steps 2 and 3 as indicated in “1. Automatic reception”
(p. 174).
[On demand reception completion chime]
When a radio wave has been successfully received, a chime will sound twice,
and the time will be corrected.
If the reception has failed, the chime will sound once, and the watch will return to
the time indicated before the reception.
