HOW TO SET THE TIME (RADIO SIGNAL RECEPTION)
Automatic reception and manual reception
Automatic reception
This watch sets the time and date by automatically receiving a radio signal at a fixed time.
It automatically receives a radio signal before 2:00 AM, 3:00 AM and 4:00 AM.
* When the reception is successful, the watch finishes the automatic reception.
Place the watch in a place where it can easily receive a radio signal (by the window, etc.).
Do not move the watch during the radio signal reception.
“To improve radio signal reception” → P.23
Manual reception
This watch can receive a radio signal arbitrarily at any time other than the automatic reception mode.
“How to conduct manual reception” → P.58
* Radio signal reception results depend on the receiving environment. “Environments in which it is difficult to receive
a radio signal” → P.24
* The watch cannot receive a radio signal outside the radio signal reception range. “Radio signal reception range
indication” → P.18
* When the time zone is set for a region other than the radio signal reception range, radio signals cannot be received.
Check the selection of time zone. “Time zone display and time difference table” → P.32
*
When the watch does not display the correct time and date even after successfully receiving a radio signal, refer to
Troubleshooting. “Misalignment of the time and hand positions” → P.74, “Misalignment of the date” → P.76

station transmits JJY in a different frequency.
Fukushima : Ohtakadoya-yama transmitting
station
Frequency: 40 KHz
Kyushu : Hagane-yama transmitting station
Frequency: 60 KHz
* NICT: National Institute of Information and
