Continuously depress button (A) and
release when the second hand points
to the RX position.
Unable to receive
radio waves (even
within a receivable
area)
· Are there objects that block
radio waves or generate noise
nearby?
· Are radio waves attempted to
be received away from a win-
dow?
· Try receiving radio waves while
facing the 9:00 position of the
watch towards a window while
avoiding objects that block radio
waves or generate noise.
Try changing the direction, location
and angle of the watch several times
so that the second hand points to a
reception level to find the location
at which radio waves are received
easily. (Refer to the sections enti-
tled, “For Good Reception” and
“Locations where Reception may be
Difficult” of this manual.
Unable to receive
radio waves even
though second hand
points to RX
· Does the second hand still
indicate a reception level of H,
M or L during reception?
· Wait until reception is completed
(until the second returns to one-sec-
ond interval movement)
Time does not match
time service even
though radio wave can
be received
· Has the reference position
been set correctly?
· Has a time difference been
set?
· Check the reference position. If the
reference position is not correct,
refer to the section entitled, “10.
Setting the Reference Position” of
this manual and reset the reference
position.
· Check whether or not a time differ-
ence has been set. Correctly reset
the time difference if only the hour
hand has shifted in one hour units.
