Operation Guide 5063 (OC)

Adjusting Home Positions Manually

Strong magnetism or impact can cause the hands and/or day of the watch to be off, even if the watch is able to perform the signal receive operation. If this happens, perform the applicable home position adjustment procedures in this section.

ξHand home position adjustment is not required if the time and day settings are correct.

ξYou also can use auto correction of the hand home positions (page E-30) to correct the home positions of the z Hour Hand, c Minute Hand, and x Second Hand.

Note

Any time after you enter the home position adjustment mode in step 1 of the following procedure, you can return to regular timekeeping by pressing A. The watch also will return to regular timekeeping automatically if you do not perform any operation for about two or three minutes in the home position adjustment mode. In either case, any adjustments you made before the watch returned to regular timekeeping will be applied.

To adjust home positions manually

1.Hold down Cat least two seconds until the x Second Hand stops and then starts moving again.

2. Hold down Bfor about three seconds.

ξ The x Second Hand will start to move when you first press B. Keep B depressed until the x Second Hand stops.



ξ The watch is now in the home position adjustment mode.

 

ξThe watch will exit the home position adjustment mode automatically if you do not perform any operation for about two or three minutes.

ξFirst is x Second Hand home position adjustment.

ξIf the x Second Hand moves to 12 o’clock, it is in the correct home position. If it doesn’t, use Dto move it to 12 o’clock.

ξEach press of Cin the home position adjustment mode will cycle through the adjustment settings as shown below.

z Hour/ c Minute

v Day

ξWhen adjusting a hand or the date home position, it is recommended that after you move to a proper home position, you press Bto move the setting back one step. Next, press Dagain to return it to

the home position. This helps to ensure better home position adjustment accuracy.

3. After confi rming that the x Second Hand is at the proper home position, press C. This will switch to z Hour Hand and c Minute Hand home position adjustment.

ξ The z Hour Hand and c Minute Hand are at their proper home positions

 

 

 

if they both move to 12 o’clock. If the hands are not positioned correctly,

 

 

 

use D(+) and B(–) to move them to their proper home positions.



 

 

 

4. After confi rming that the z Hour Hand and c Minute Hand are in their

 

 

 

correct home positions, press C. This will advance to v Day home position

 

 

 

adjustment.

 

 

 

ξ The v Day is in the correct home position if it shows 1. If it doesn’t, use

 

 

 

D(+) and B(–) to change the day to 1.

 

 

 

5. Press Ato return to regular timekeeping.

 

 

 

ξ The v Day moves to the current day, and then the z Hour Hand and the



 

 

 

 

c Minute Hand will move to the current time. Wait until everything stops

 

 

 

moving.

 

 

 

 

E-34

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 confi gure Home City settings” (page E-21).

If you are using the watch in an area where time calibration signal reception is not possible, you may need to change your Home City’s STD (standard time)/DST (daylight saving/summer time) setting manually. Use the procedure under “To confi gure Home City settings” (page E-21) to change the STD/DST setting.

The hands and/or day indications are off.

This could indicate that the watch has been exposed to magnetism or strong impact, which has caused problems with proper hand and day alignment. Adjust the watch’s hand and day home position alignment (page E-30).

World Time

World Time is one hour off from the actual time in the selected time zone.

The STD (standard time)/DST (daylight saving/summer time) setting of the selected World Time City may be wrong. Select the correct STD (standard time)/DST (daylight saving/summer time) setting (page E-29).

World Time is not indicated correctly.

Your Home City settings may be wrong. Check your Home City settings and correct them, if necessary (page E-21).

Charging

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

This can happen after the power level drops to Level 3 (page E-8). Continue exposing the watch to light until the x Second Hand starts moving normally (at one-second intervals).

E-36

The current time setting changes after I set it manually.

You may have the watch confi gured for Auto Receive of the time calibration signal (page E-15), 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-21).

The current time setting is off by one hour.

Troubleshooting

Hand Movement and Position

The x Second Hand is moving at two second intervals.

All the watch’s hands are stopped at 12 o’clock and none of the buttons work.

Power may be low. Expose the watch to light until the x Second Hand starts moving normally, at one- second intervals (page E-8).

The hands of the watch suddenly start moving at high speed, even when I do not perform any operation.

This could be due to any one of the following causes. In all cases, the hand movement does not indicate malfunction, and should stop shortly.

ξThe watch is recovering from a sleep state (page E-10).

ξThe time setting is being adjusted following a successful auto time calibration signal receive operation (page E-11).

The current time setting is off by hours.

Your Home City setting may be wrong. Check your Home City setting and correct it, if necessary (page E-21).

E-35

The x Second Hand starts to move at one-second intervals, but then suddenly returns to moving at two-second intervals.

The watch probably is not suffi ciently charged yet. Continue keeping it exposed to light.

Time Calibration Signal

The information in this section applies only when LONDON (LON), PARIS (PAR), ATHENS (ATH), HONOLULU (HNL), ANCHORAGE (ANC), LOS ANGELES (LAX), DENVER (DEN), CHICAGO (CHI), NEW YORK (NYC), HONG KONG (HKG), or TOKYO (TYO) is selected as the Home City. You need to adjust the current time manually when any other city is selected as the Home City.

The x Second Hand indicates NO (N) when I check the result of the latest receive operation.
