OH ON G KO B A NG NG KO DEN VE K LO R ES R E L HO NG N C SA A N English APPROPRIATE PLACE TO KEEP A RADIO-CONTROLLED WATCH TO ENABLE THE WATCH TO RECEIVE RADIO SIGNALS EASILY Place the watch where it can easily receive radio signals. To enhance the reception of radio signals, do not move the watch while it is receiving radio signals. The watch is unable to receive radio signals outside a reception range. RADIO SIGNAL RECEPTION RANGE. . . pages 22-25 Whether the watch succeeds in receiving radio signals or not depends on the weather or receiving conditions. - Inside a building, between tall buildings, underground - Close to overhead power lines, TV stations, and train cables - Close to home electrical appliances or OA devices - Close to furniture made of steel, such as a steel desk Avoid putting the watch in such places when it receives radio signals. CONDITIONS IN WHICH THE WATCH MAY BE UNABLE TO RECEIVE RADIO SIGNALS English English The antenna for receiving radio signals inside the watch is at the 9 o' clock position. Turning the antenna toward the outside of the window enables the watch to receive radio signals more easily. 0 - Close to construction sites or in heavy traffic - Inside a vehicle, train, airplane, etc. 1 English TIME ZONE ADJUSTMENT WARNING - The watch may display the incorrect time if it fails to receive radio signals properly because of interference. The watch may fail to receive radio signals depending on the location or reception conditions. - Radio signals can easily be received during nighttime hours due to its characteristics. - The watch moves depending on the quartz movement (loss/gain: ±15 seconds per month) when it is unable to receive radio signals. - The time signal transmission may be stopped during maintenance of the facilities of each transmitting station or because of a lightning strike. In such a case, see each station's website for further information.

TIME ZONE AND TIME DIFFERENCE Time zone means the region where the common standard time is used. There are time zones around the world based on time differences from UTC (Universal Coordinated Time). [What is UTC (Universal Coordinated Time)?] UTC is the universal standard time coordinated through international agreement. UTC is determined by adding a leap second to GMT (Greenwich Mean Time), which is determined through astronomical measurement, in order to keep the precise time. Advancing the watch one hour to prolong daytime during longer daylight hours in summer. Daylight saving time has been adopted in about 80 countries, mainly in Europe and North America. The adoption and duration of daylight saving time vary depending on the country.

[. . . ] Check the time zone that the watch is currently set for, and select the time zone where you want to set the watch. Charge the watch in an environment where the watch can be exposed to an adequate intensity of light in a stable condition. English English Transmitting stations may have stopped transmitting time signals for some reasons. The watch is set to the time zone outside of a radio signal reception range. Charging the solar battery The stopped watch was exposed to adequate light for a longer time than "the time required for fully charging the watch, " however, it does not resume its normal one-second interval movements. The light is too weak or the manner of lighting the watch has been altered while the watch is being charged. The built-in IC has fallen into an unstable condition. Reset the built-in IC. [. . . ]
