3.Rotate the crown to set the alarm time.

•With the crown pulled out, rotate the crown more than once in the direction that you want to move the hands. When you release the crown, the x Minute Hand will start to move at high speed. Note that high-speed reverse movement is not supported.

•z Hour Hand movement is synchronized with x Minute Hand movement.

Using the Stopwatch

The stopwatch measures elapsed time in units of 1 second up to 11 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds. When the maximum limit is reached, elapsed time returns to zero automatically and timing continues from there.

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 corrects the positions of all hands. The b Day Indicator must be corrected manually using the procedure under “To trigger auto hand home position adjustment manually” (page E-67).

•Around 2:55 a.m. each day, the watch performs a process that takes about 30 seconds to confirm that hand positions are correct. During this process, the v Mode Hand will move to 12 o’clock. If current hand positions are correct, normal hand movement will resume after about 30 seconds. If hand positions are not correct for some reason, the watch will correct them automatically and then resume normal hand movement.

To trigger auto hand home position adjustment manually

1.In the Timekeeping Mode, loosen the crown and then pull it out.

2.Hold down A for at least five seconds, until the c Second Hand

 

moves to 12 o’clock.

 

3. Release A after the c Second Hand moves to 12 o’clock.

 

• This will start auto hand home position adjustment for all of the

30

hands. Note that the b Day Indicator is not adjusted.

 

• Home position adjustment is complete when all hands are at 12

 

o’clock.

4. Push the crown back in and then lock it.

• This returns to the Timekeeping Mode. The hands will return to their normal positions and resume normal timekeeping. Wait until everything stops moving before performing any operation.

•If you want to adjust the b Day Indicator home position, skip step 4 above and proceed from step 2 under “To adjust the Day Indicator home position” on page E-68.

Important!

• Pushing the crown back in while hands are moving will cancel home position adjustment.

• If 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.

Important!

1.In the Timekeeping Mode, loosen the crown and then pull it out.

2.Perform steps 2 and 3 under “To trigger auto hand home position adjustment manually” (page E-67).

3.Press A.

•This will cause the b Day Indicator to move to its current home position, which should be 1 centered in the indicator window.

•If 1 is not centered in the b Day Indicator window, rotate the crown to center it.

•Quickly rotating the crown at this time will cause high-speed movement of the b Day Indicator. Note that high-speed reverse movement is also supported.

•To stop high-speed movement, rotate the crown again in the opposite direction.

4.After the b Day Indicator setting is the way you want, push the crown back in and then lock it.

•This returns to the Timekeeping Mode. The b Day Indicator will indicate the current date. Wait until it stops moving before performing any operation.

The face of the watch is illuminated for easy reading in the dark.

The watch’s auto light switch turns on illumination automatically when you angle the watch towards your face.

• The auto light switch must be enabled (page E-71) for it to operate.

To turn on illumination manually

 

Pressing L in any mode turns on illumination.

• You can use the procedure below to select either 1.5 seconds or three seconds as the illumination duration. When you press L, illumination will remain on for 1.5 or three seconds depending on the current setting.

•Pressing L turns on illumination even if auto light switch operation is disabled.

•Note that illumination will not turn on while a sensor taking a reading or during high-speed movement of the hands or day indicator.

To change the illumination duration

1. In the Timekeeping Mode, loosen the crown and then pull it out.

• The c Second Hand will point to the city code of the currently select Home City, and the v Mode

•Pushing the crown back in while the b Day indicator is moving will register hand adjustment but cancel day indicator adjustment.

•If 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.

About the Auto Light Switch

 

Enabling on the auto light switch causes illumination to turn on,

More than

whenever you position your wrist as described below in any mode.

Moving the watch to a position that is parallel to the ground and

 

then tilting it towards you more than 40 degrees causes

 

illumination to turn on.

Warning!

outside of your wrist

 

•Always make sure you are in a safe place whenever you are reading the face of watch using the auto light switch. Be especially careful when running or engaged in any other activity that can result in accident or injury. Also take care that sudden illumination by the auto light switch does not startle or distract others around you.

•When you are wearing the watch, make sure that its auto light switch is disabled before riding on a bicycle or operating a motorcycle or any other motor vehicle. Sudden and unintended operation of the auto light switch can create a distraction, which can result in a traffic accident and serious personal injury.

Note

•This watch features a “Full Auto LED Light”, so the auto light switch operates only when available light is below a certain level. Illumination does not turn on under bright light.

•The auto light switch is always disabled, regardless of its on/off setting, when any one of the following conditions exists.

While an alarm is sounding

During sensor measurement

While the hands or b Day indicator is moving at high speed

To enable or disable the auto light switch

While in the Timekeeping Mode, hold down L for at least three seconds, until the watch beeps once or twice.

•Releasing L after one beep disables the auto light switch. Releasing it after two beeps enables it.

•The auto light switch disables automatically whenever battery power drops to Level 2 (page E-13).

Illumination Precautions

•The electro-luminescent panel that provides illumination loses power after very long use.

•Illumination may be hard to see when viewed under direct sunlight.

•Illumination turns off automatically whenever an alarm sounds.

•Frequent use of illumination runs down the battery.

Auto light switch precautions

•Wearing the watch on the inside of your wrist, movement of your arm, or vibration of your arm can cause frequent activation of the auto light switch and illumination. To avoid running down the battery, disable the auto light switch whenever engaging in activities that might cause frequent illumination.

•Note that wearing the watch under your sleeve while the auto light switch is enabled can cause frequent illumination and can run down the battery.
