2. Before Using
A. Radio Wave Receiving Function
<For Good Reception>
This watch incorporates an antenna for receiving radio waves inside the watch case (at
the 9:00 position). For good reception, it is ideal to have the 9:00 position of the watch
facing in the direction of the radio wave transmitter station when receiving radio waves.
The reception level varies depending on the environment in which the watch is used.
Try receiving radio waves while changing the orientation or location of the watch while
referring to H, M or L that indicates the reception level of the watch. Find the location
and direction where radio waves are received easily as indicated by H or M being
indicated for the reception level.
• For stable reception, remove the watch from your wrist and place the watch in a stable
location that facilitates reception of radio waves such as in front of a window. Do not
move the watch during reception.
• Radio waves may be hard to receive due to blockage by metallic objects or the
environment. When inside a building and so on, reception should be performed as close
to a window as possible.
<Locations where Reception may be Difficult>
It may not be possible to properly receive radio waves at the following locations
susceptible to generation of radio wave noise or under the following environmental
conditions that cause difficulty in receiving radio waves.
(1) Locations subject to extremely high or low temperatures
(2) Inside a reinforced concrete building, between tall buildings or in valleys between
mountains or underground
(3) In a car, train or airplane
(4) Near high-tension wires (power lines), railroad overhead wires or airports
(communication facilities)
(5) Near a cellular telephone in use
(6) Near household electric appliances or OA equipment such as TV sets, refrigerators,
personal computers, fax machines, etc.
