• Strong electrostatic charge can result in the wrong time setting.
• Even if a receive operation is successful, certain conditions can cause the time setting to be off by up
to one second.
• The watch is designed to update the date and day of the week automatically for the period January 1,
2000 to December 31, 2099. Updating of the date by signal reception will no longer be performed
starting from January 1, 2100.
• If you are in an area where signal reception is not possible, the watch keeps time with the precision
noted in “Specifications”.
