Troubleshooting

Time Setting

See “Radio Controlled Atomic Timekeeping” (page E-21) for information about adjusting the time setting according to a time calibration signal.

■The current time setting is off by hours.

Your Home City setting may be wrong (page E-42). Check your Home City setting and correct it, if necessary.

■The current time setting is off by one hour.

If you are using the watch in an area where time calibration signal reception is possible, see “To conﬁgure Home City settings” (page E-42).

If you are using in the watch in an area where time calibration signal reception is not possible, you may need to change your Home City’s standard time/daylight saving time (DST) setting manually. Use the procedure under “To change the current time and date settings manually” (page E-47) to change the standard time/daylight saving time (DST) setting.

E-70

World Time Mode

■The time for my World Time City is off in the World Time Mode.

This could be due to incorrect switching between standard time and daylight saving time. See “To specify standard time or daylight saving time (DST) for a city” (page E-52) for more information.

Charging■The watch does not resume operation after I expose it to light.

This can happen after the power level drops to Level 5 (page E-15). Continue exposing the watch to light until the battery power indicator shows H or M.

Time Calibration Signal

The information in this section applies only when LIS, LON, MAD, PAR, ROM, BER, STO, ATH, MOW, HKG, BJS, HNL, ANC, YVR, LAX, YEA, DEN, MEX, CHI, MIA, YTO, NYC, YHZ, YYT, SEL, or TYO is selected at the Home City. You need to adjust the current time manually when any other city is selected as the Home City.

■The current time setting changes after I set it manually.

You may have the watch conﬁgured for Auto Receive of the time calibration signal (page E-28), which will cause the time to be adjusted automatically according to your currently selected Home City. If this results in the wrong time setting, check your Home City setting and correct it, if necessary (page E-42).
