operation for about one hour.

ξ The hands also will move away from the digital dial automatically whenever you

enter a setting mode in the Timekeeping Mode, Timer Mode, or Alarm Mode.

ξ Time calibration signal reception is disabled while the hands are in positions to

allow easier viewing of the digital dials (page E-79).

Other Settings

The button operation tone sounds any time you press one of the watch’s buttons. You can turn the button operation tone on or off as desired.

2.Use C to cycle through settings in the right digital dial until the current button operation tone (MUTE or KEY) is displayed.

ξSee the sequence in step 2 of the procedure under “To change the current time and date settings manually” (page E-48) for information about how to scroll between settings.

3.Press D to toggle the button operation tone on (KEY) and off (MUTE).

4.After all of the settings are the way you want, press A to exit the setting mode.

ξExiting a setting mode will normally cause the hands to return to regular timekeeping automatically. However, if you manually move the hands (page E-79) and then enter a setting mode, they will not return to regular timekeeping automatically when you exit the setting mode. In this case, you will need to return the hands to their normal positions manually (page E-80).

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-48) to change the standard time/daylight saving time (DST) setting.

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 (page E-75).

The analog hands are not indicating the correct time.

If the HANDS indicator is displayed on the right digital dial, it means that the analog hands have been moved for easier viewing of the digital dials. Hold down C for about four seconds to return to the Timekeeping Mode.

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-54) for more information.

ChargingThe 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, 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).

The current time setting is off by one hour.
