4.Rotate the crown to adjust the time (hour and minute) setting.

ξRotating the crown three full consecutive turns clockwise will cause the c Minute Hand to start

moving clockwise. Rotating the crown another three full consecutive turns clockwise will cause the c Minute Hand to start moving at high speed. To stop hand movement, press any button or rotate the crown one full turn counterclockwise.

ξWhen adjusting the setting, check to make sure that the x Second Hand correctly indicates an a.m. time or p.m. time.

ξIf you want to change the date setting at this time, press Band perform the procedure starting from step 3 under “To change the current date setting manually” (page E-25).

5.After the settings are the way you want, push the crown back in to return to regular timekeeping.

ξThis causes timekeeping to resume with the x Second Hand starting from 12 o’clock.

Adjusting Home Positions

Strong magnetism or impact can cause the hands and/or day setting to be off, even if the watch is able to perform the signal receive operation.

Auto Home Position Adjustment

Auto correction of hand home positions corrects the hand position automatically.

ξAuto correction corrects the positions of all hands. For the v Day Indicator, you must perform the manual adjustment procedure under “To adjust home positions manually” (page E-28).

Manual Home Position Adjustment

Perform the procedure in this section if auto home position adjustment is not possible for some reason.

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

Note

ξAny time after you enter the home position adjustment mode in step 1 of the following procedure, you can return to regular timekeeping by pushing the crown back in. In this case, any adjustments you made before the watch returned to regular timekeeping will be applied.

ξIf you do not perform any operation with the crown for about two minutes after pulling it out, crown operations will become disabled and hands will not move if you rotate the crown. If this happens, push the crown back in and then pull it out again.

To adjust home positions manually

1.Pull out the crown.

2.Hold down Buntil the x Second Hand completes the two-part movement described below. Note that you will need to keep Bdepressed for at least

seven seconds.

ξPart 1: About two seconds after you first hold down B, the x Second



Hand should move to 57-second or 3-second position, if the

 

x Second Hand is adjusted correctly.

− If the x Second Hand does not move to 57-second or 3-second position, it means that its home position is off and needs adjustment.

ξ Part 2: Next, the x Second Hand will move to 12 o’clock.

−After the x Second Hand moves to 12 o’clock, release B. When you do, home position adjustment of all of the hands (but not the v Day Indicator) will start automatically.

−Home position adjustment is complete when all hands are at 12 o’clock.

−To exit the home position adjustment operation and return to regular timekeeping, push the crown back in.

3. Press B.

ξ This enters the v Day Indicator home position adjustment mode.

4. Check the v Day Indicator to conÞ rm that it is 1, which is its home position.



ξ If the 1 is not in the center of the v Day Indicator, rotate the crown to

center it.

 

ξRotating the crown three full consecutive turns clockwise will cause the

v Day Indicator to start changing in a forward direction (increment). ξ To stop v Day Indicator movement, press any button.

5.Push the crown back in to return to regular timekeeping.

ξThis will cause the hands to return to their normal positions and resume regular timekeeping. Wait until everything stops moving before performing any other operation.

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).

■Hands suddenly stop moving. Button operation also is disabled.

The watch may be in the power recovery mode (page E-9). Do not perform any operation until the hands return to their normal positions (in about 15 minutes). The hands should return to their correct positions when normal operation returns. To help power recover, leave the watch in a location where it is exposed to light.

■The current time setting is off by hours.

ξYour Home City setting may be wrong. Check your Home City setting and correct it, if necessary (page E-19).

■The current time setting is off by one hour.

ξIf you are using the watch in an area where time calibration signal reception is possible, see “To configure Home City settings” (page E-19).

ξThe period when summer time is applied in the location where you are using the watch may be different from the period set for your currently selected Home City. Use the procedure under “To switch between standard time and summer time manually” (E-21) to switch from AUTO to STD (for standard time) or DST (for summer time).

■The hands and/or day indicator is off.

This could indicate that the watch has been exposed to magnetism or strong impact, which has caused problems with proper hand and day indicator alignment. Adjust the watchÕs hand and day indicator home position alignment (page E-27).

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).

■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 sufÞ ciently charged yet. Continue keeping it exposed to light.
