SETTING THE TIME BY RECEIIVING RADIO SIGNAL

English	WHAT IS A RADIO-CONTROLLED WATCH?
	The radio-controlled watch displays the precise time and date by automatically receiving and
	synchronizing itself with the radio signal of an official standard frequency.

Time signal transmitted by a standard frequency is based on a super accurate "Cesium Atomic

AUTOMATIC HAND ALIGNMENT

Under normal operation, periodic checks of each hand position are performed once every one- minute for the second hand position, and once every twelve hours for the hour and minute hand positions.

<When the hand positions move out of alignment >

・Strong shocks can cause misalignment of the hand positions

The hand positions may move out of alignment due to strong shocks to the watch when the watch is dropped or hits against a hard surface.

・Strong magnetism can cause misalignment of the hand positions.

The hand positions may move out of alignment due to strong magnetism generated by mobile phones, speakers, magnetic therapy devices, or other magnetized objects.

・When the watch is stopped due to complete depletion of stored power

The radio-controlled watch automatically sets itself to the precise time. However, if the preliminary hand positions are misaligned when the time is set, the watch will be unable to display the precise time even after it receives a radio signal properly. It is like a scale which cannot display the correct weight because its hand is not set to the 0 position before weighing.

Be assured that all hand positions of this watch are automatically corrected as long as the watch receives radio signals properly, omitting complicated procedures.
