Receiving the radio signal

There are three ways to receive the radio signal.

This watch also incorporates a function to check last radio reception results.

→

pages 14 and 15

Reception method Explanations

Automatic reception

Receives the signal at 2:00 a.m. every day. If reception is unsuccessful,

the watch tries to receive at 3:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m.

On demand

reception

Receive the signal manually when you want to adjust the time

and date.

→

page 24

Recovery automatic

reception

Receives the signal automatically after charging when the watch

stops due to insufficient charge.

• These reception operations take place only when the crown is in the closed

position

0 and the watch is not moved.

• When the watch is in a low power state (second hand moving in two

second intervals), radio reception will not be attempted.

• Radio signal reception cannot be deactivated.

• Even when this watch receives a radio signal successfully, the accuracy of

the displayed time will be dependent on the reception environment and

internal processing.

• If the watch is not able to receive the signal, it will operate normally within

an accuracy range of ±15 seconds per month.

■

During radio reception:

Remove the watch and place it on a stable surface

where it can receive the signal better, such as next to

a window.

• The reception antenna is located at the 6:00

position of the watch. Place the watch with the 6:00

position facing toward the station.

• While the watch is receiving radio signals (the second

hand indicates RX, H, M, or L), do not move the

watch as a successful update will not be achieved.

Notes on the radio signal reception

■

Poor reception areas

It may be difficult to receive the radio signal properly under certain

environmental conditions or in areas susceptible to radio noise.

• Extremely hot or cold locations

• Inside vehicles

• Near electrical equipment or

office appliances

• Near high-tension

electrical lines, railway

overhead wires or

communication facilities

• Inside reinforced concrete

buildings, between tall

buildings, mountains, or

underground

• Near mobile phones that

are in use

■

When signal reception is poor

Radio signal reception may be affected by the surrounding environment.

High-tension wires nearby or windows containing wire meshes make it

difficult to receive radio signal. In this case, you should find another suitable

place considering the location of the transmitter station in your region.

Then, place the watch at a window facing to the station and attempt manual

reception.

→

pages 24 and 25

If the window contains wire screens, open the window or change the

location of the watch.

Solar-powered watch handling precautions

•Yourwatchenjoysregularexposuretolight.Wearinginsituationsthatpreventlightexposuresuch

as long shirt or coat sleeves will prevent your watch from receiving light sufficient for charging. In

these instances, supplemental charging may be needed.

•Whenyoutakeyourwatchoff,tryandplaceitinabrightlocation.Thiswillensureyourwatch

receives light for charging and will continue to operate properly. Storing your watch in dark places

for extended periods of time may cause the stored energy to become depleted and your watch to

stop.

CAUTION

Recharging Precautions

• Do not charge your watch at high temperatures (60°C/140°F) as

this may cause damage to sensitive components and the watch to

malfunction.

Examples:

•Chargingthewatchtooclosetoalightsourcewhichgenerates

a large amount of heat such as an incandescent lamp or

halogen lamp.

* When charging your watch under an incandescent lamp,

be sure to leave 50 cm (19-11/16 inches) distance between

the lamp and the watch to avoid excessive heat. Never use a

halogen lamp for recharging as these generate excessive heat.

•Chargingthewatchinalocationwherethetemperaturemaybecomeextremelyhighsuchason

the dashboard of a vehicle.

Solar-powered watch handling precautions

•Yourwatchfeaturesacellthatdoesnotneedregularreplacement.

However, after an extended period of time, power consumption may increase due to deterioration

of lubrication in the movement. This may result in shorter than expected run time. Be sure to have

your watch regularly inspected by an Authorized Service Center.

Note: Regular maintenance is not covered under the terms of the warranty.

WARNING

Handling of Rechargeable Cell

•Therechargeablecellshouldneverberemovedfromthewatch.

If for any reason it becomes necessary to remove the rechargeable cell from the watch, keep out of

the reach of children to prevent accidental swallowing.

If the rechargeable cell is accidentally swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.

•Donotdisposeoftherechargeablecellwithordinarygarbage.Pleasefollowtheinstructionsof

your municipality regarding collection of batteries to prevent the risk of fire or environmental

contamination.

WARNING

Use Only the Specified Rechargeable Cell

•Neverinstallaconventionalbatteryinyourwatch.Onlyusethespecifiedrechargeablecell.

Your watch is designed to operate only with the original type of rechargeable cell. It is not designed

to run or be used with a conventional type of battery. Installing such a battery may result in

overcharging which may cause the battery to burst. This can cause damage to the watch and injury

to the wearer.

If for any reason the rechargeable cell needs replacement, be sure to use only the original type

rechargeable cell. We recommend contacting your nearest Authorized Service Center for this

service.
