Q7 My radio-controlled watch/clock has suddenly stopped receiving radio waves. Why?

This can be due to the following cases:

You are outside the coverage area or in a place where radio waves cannot be received. (For more information, please click here.)

In any case other than the above, check the instruction manual that came with your radio-controlled watch/clock.
