While reception is in progress...
The second hand will indicate the current ••
reception status.
READY (or R): Unstable reception

Keep the watch in a location where ••
reception is stable while a receive
operation is in progress.

for reception to stabilize.

operation and to determine the best location for signal reception.

all can affect reception.
The hour and minute hands will continue to operate normally ••
during signal reception.
