reception level during radio signal reception attempts.

(Only manual reception)

■ Display Function of Radio

Signal Reception Results........

→ P.26

HOW TO USE

■ Solar Charging Function..........

→ P.34

A solar cell underneath the dial converts any form of light into

“electrical energy” to charge it. Once fully charged, the watch

continues to run for approximately 9 months.

■ Energy Depletion

Forewarning Function...........

→ P.36

The movement of the seconds hand indicates that the battery

should be charged.

■ Power Save Function...............

→ P.37

This watch is equipped with a function which can suppress energy

consumption when it is left without receiving an adequate light

source for a certain length of time.

■ Automatic Hand Position

Alignment Function..................

→ P.64

When the hand positions display an incorrect time as a result of

external influences such as magnetism, the watch automatically

corrects the hand misalignment.
