■TROUBLESHOOTING
Trouble Cause Solution
The watch stopped. The battery ran down. Consult the retailer from whom the watch was purchased to replace the battery.
The second hand moves at two-second intervals. The battery is running down.
The watch is unable to receive radio signals. The antenna of the watch is not turned toward the direction of the JJY-LF station Change the orientation of the watch. →Refer to "■WHAT IS A RADIO-CONTROLLED WATCH?" for further details.
Reception failures have continued. JJY-LF stations may stop transmitting time signals for some reasons. See the website of Communication Research Laboratory (CRL) (http://jjy.crl.go.jp/) for further information concerning the transmission of time signals.
During automatic reception, the watch was left where radio signals were weak or where it could not receive radio signals. Check the number of reception failures. If reception failures have continued, put the watch where it can receive radio signals more easily to conduct the manual reception.
The watch was unable to receive radio signals. Or change the place to leave the watch during automatic reception between AM2:30 and AM6:30.
The watch temporarily gains or loses time. The watch fails to receive radio signals properly because of radio noise. Keep the watch away from objects that cause radio noise, and put the watch where it can receive radio signals more easily to conduct the manual reception.
The watch has been left in extremely high or low temperatures for a long time. When the watch returns to normal temperature, the condition will be corrected. Conduct the manual reception if necessary. If the watch
hands are not set to current time even after conducting the manual reception, consult the retailer from whom the watch was purchased.
The watch was brought into close contact with a magnetic object. Keep the watch away from magnetic objects, and conduct the manual reception to set the watch hands to current time.
The watch hands are not correctly set since the watch is affected by strong magnetism. If the watch hands are not set to current time even after conducting the manual reception, consult the retailer from whom the watch was purchased.
You dropped the watch, hit it against a hard surface, or wore it while playing active sports. Conduct the manual reception to set the watch hands to current time. If the watch hands are not set to current time even after
