Operation Guide 5095

••Dual Time is coordinated with regular timekeeping, and is maintained as a time differential from regular timekeeping current time. Changing the regular timekeeping setting will cause the current Dual Time setting to change accordingly.

Hand Home Position Adjustment

If the time setting of your watch is not correct even though time calibration signal reception is being performed normally, use the procedure in this section to check the home positions of the hands and make adjustments as required.

Note that you do not need to perform the following operation if your watch is showing the correct time.

Important!

••When performing the following procedure, it is recommended that after you move to a home position, you press the Bbutton to move the setting back one step. Next, press the Cbutton to return it to the home position. This helps to ensure better home position adjustment accuracy.

••It can take as long as 14 minutes for the hands of the watch to move to the

12 o’clock position when you start home position adjustment. Following adjustment, it can take as long as 14 minutes for the hands to return to normal timekeeping.

1. In the regular timekeeping, hold down Afor about 10 seconds until the c Minute Hand and x Second Hand move to 12 o’clock.

••The x Second Hand goes through the sequence described below. Last signal reception result → RC → Current location setting → Keep Adepressed until the x Second Hand starts to move counterclockwise. You can release Aat this time.

••The c Minute Hand and x Second Hand are in their correct home positions if they are pointed precisely at 12 o’clock. If the hands are in the correct home positions, advance to step 4.

If the current home positions are within ±15 minutes 00 seconds

2.Use C(+1 second) and B(–1 second) to adjust the hand positions so they point to 12 o’clock.

••Holding down either button for about two seconds and then releasing it starts high-speed hand movement in the applicable direction.

••To stop high-speed hand movement, press any button.

••After adjusting the home positions, go to step 4.

If the current home positions is greater than ±15 minutes 00 seconds

2. After performing step 1, hold down the Cand B buttons at the same time until the z Hour Hand,

c Minute Hand, x Second Hand, and v 24-hour Hand

all move to 12 o’clock.

3. Use C(+1 second) and B(–1 second) to adjust the hand positions so they point to 12 o’clock.

••Holding down either button for about two seconds and then releasing it starts high-speed hand movement in the applicable direction.

••To stop high-speed hand movement, press any button.

••The v24-hour Hand is synchronized with the z Hour Hand and c Minute Hand, so separate adjustment is not required.

••After adjusting the home positions, go to step 4.

4. Press A. This will cause the n Dual Time Hour Hand and b Dual Time Minute Hand to move to 12 o’clock for home position adjustment.

••The n Dual Time Hour Hand and b Dual Time Minute Hand are in their correct home positions if they are pointed precisely at 12 o’clock. If the hands are in the correct home positions, advance to step 6.

5. Use C(+1 minute) and B(–1 minute) to adjust the hand positions so they point to 12 o’clock.

••Holding down either button for about two seconds and then releasing it starts high-speed hand movement in the applicable direction.

••To stop high-speed hand movement, press any button.

••After adjusting the home positions, go to step 6.

6. Press Ato exit home position correction and return to regular timekeeping.

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.

■■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.

••The watch is recovering from a sleep state.

••The time setting is being adjusted following a successful auto time calibration signal receive operation.

■■The current time setting is off by hours.

Your location setting may be wrong. Check your location setting and correct it, if necessary.

■■The hands are off.

This could indicate that the watch has been exposed to magnetism or strong impact, which has caused problems with proper hand alignment. Adjust the watch’s hand home position alignment.

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

This can happen after the power level drops to Level 3. Continue exposing the watch to light until the x Second Hand starts moving normally

(at one-second intervals).

■■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 sufficiently charged yet. Continue keeping it exposed to light.

Time Calibration Signal

The information in this section applies only when HONG KONG (HKG) or TOKYO (TYO) is selected as the current location. You need to adjust the current time manually when OFF is selected as the current location.

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

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

You may have the watch configured for Auto Receive of the time calibration signal which will cause the time to be adjusted automatically according to your currently selected location. If this results in the wrong time setting, check your location setting and correct it, if necessary.
