Note x Signal reception may be difficult or even impossible under the conditions described below.
x Even if you are within the normal reception range of a time calibration signal, reception may be made
impossible by the following factors: geographic contours, weather, the season, the time of day, wireless
noise.
x As of December 2012, China does not use Daylight Saving Time (DST). If China does go to the Daylight
Saving Time system in the future, some functions of this watch may no longer operate correctly for the
