This watch is a radio wave watch that receives
Japan standard radio waves
This watch is equipped with an Automatic Tuning Function that receives radio waves by
automatically selecting the station with the strongest signal, a Regular Automatic Reception
Function that sets the time and date by automatically receiving radio waves at 2:00 AM, or at 4:00
AM when radio waves are unable to be received at 2:00 AM, each day, and a Free Reception
Function that allows you set the time and date by arbitrarily receiving radio waves at any time.
●Standard time waves can only be received in Japan. (Radio waves cannot be received overseas.
●This radio wave watch can be used without concern over effects on the body or medical devices.
Please fully charge your watch
before use by exposing it to light
If the second hand of the watch is moving at 2-second intervals
during use, this means that the watch is insufficiently charged. Use
the watch after charging by referring to "General Reference for
Charging Times". Since the watch may be covered by clothing and
so forth particularly during the winter preventing it from being
exposed to light, charge the watch once a month by exposing to
direct sunlight. In order to ensure that the watch is used comfortably,
it is recommended to try to keep the watch charged at all times.
