ZERO-POSITION CHECK PROCEDURE

1.) If your timepiece malfunctions in some way or completely looses power, it will be necessary to first check the Zero Position of the hands.

2.) To begin, pull the crown out one ‘click’.

3.) Next turn the crown clockwise or counterclockwise, so that either tip of the Mode hand, is pointing to the L-TM, or Local Time mode.

4.) Now push the crown one ‘click’, back to the closed position next to the case.

5.) Next, while still in the L-TM or Local Time mode, press and hold the upper right button pressed for 10 or more seconds until the hands start to move and then release the button. The hands will automatically move to the zero-position stored in memory. The correct zero-position for each hand is as follows:

-The Hour, Minutes and Second hands should point to ‘12:00

-24 Hour hand should point to ‘24’

-Function hand should point to ‘SUN’

-The Date should indicate ‘1’

6.) If any of the hands do not indicate their respective 0-position, or if the date does not indicate 1, please go to the “All Reset” procedure to perform the all reset and zero-positioning correction procedure.

7.) Press and release the upper right button to resume normal operation in the Local Time mode. Remember, if any of the hands did not indicate the correct 0-position, you must perform the ‘all-reset and 0-positioning correction procedure.”
