ATOMIC CLOCK SYNCHRONIZATION

Watch automatically listens for radio signal daily at 2:00:25 AM.

For best reception, note the following:

• Reception is better outside of buildings or vehicles.
• Inside a building, reception is better at a window.
• Avoid sources of radio interference, such as electronic devices, power lines, and machinery.
• Reception is generally best at night.
