8. Reception Area Guidelines
This watch can receive standard time radio waves broadcast from Japan (two
transmitters), the USA and Europe (Germany).
The standard time radio wave to be received can be changed by selecting the city in
another region.
The maps show the approximate reception areas. However, note that the radio wave
condition could change due to factors including the weather (such as lightning) and
changes in the season or sunrise/sunset time.
The reception area on the map is only guideline, and it may be difficult to receive the
radio signal even within the areas indicated on the map.
