Important Points Regarding Radio Wave Reception
There are two methods to receive radio signals during normal operation, Automatic and
On Demand.
The internal unidirectional antenna may be weakened by geography or building
structures, which may require the user to place the watch near a window.
When receiving radio waves:
* Remove the watch from your wrist
* Face the 9:00 position of the watch towards a window
* Place the watch on a stable surface
* Do not move the watch during this process. Movement of the watch may cause
incomplete reception. During radio reception, the second hand of the watch moves in
reception level.
* When reception is complete, the watch will return to movement at one-second
intervals.
Reception can take from about 2 minutes to a maximum of 15 minutes.
<World Time Function>
i UTC (Coordinated Universal Time), the time and date of 43 cities (or regions) from around
the world and one city (any can be set) can be displayed and easily called up. It is
convenient when traveling overseas on business or vacation.
Daylight saving time can also be set. (p. 44)
<Solar Power Function>
This is a multi-functional Eco-Drive watch, which is equipped with a solar power function for
powering the watch by converting light energy into electric energy.
i Charge level display function: This function displays the charge level in four grades, to
give an approximate indication of how much the secondary battery is charged. (p. 38)
i Power saving function: The watch is equipped with two power saving functions.
If the watch face is not exposed to light for 30 minutes or longer, all the LCD display
sections turn off (Power saving 1). If the watch face is then not exposed to light for one
week or longer, the hands are stopped in order to minimize the watch’s power consumption
(Power saving 2). (p. 92)
