5. Poor Reception Areas
It may not be possible to receive radio waves under environmental conditions where reception
is difficult or in areas susceptible to radio noise, such as those shown in the illustrations below.
While referring to the reception level display, try to find a location with better reception.
j Extremely hot or cold locationsj Near cellular
phones that are
in use
j Inside vehicles, including
cars, trains and aero planes
j Near TVs, refrigerators,
computers, fax machines and other
home electronics or appliances
j Inside reinforced concrete
buildings or underground
j Near high-tension electrical
lines, railway overhead wires
or communication facilities
<Storing Your Radio Controlled Watch>
If the watch has received insufficient light for charging or has been kept in a dark
location for an extended period of time (one week or more), the Power Save Feature of
the watch is activated and the hands of the watch stop. Even though the watch will not
show movement, the correct time is kept in memory. When the watch is in the Power
Save mode, it will continue to keep the correct time internally. In some instances,
“Automatic Reception” may not be successful due to a weak signal reception. When
resuming use of the watch after the power save mode has been activated for an extended
period of time, you can cancel the Power Save function by placing the watch in light
sufficient for charging and performing the “On Demand” reception process to correctly
set the time and date. (Refer to page 92 for information on the Power Save Function.)
