Operation Guide 5196/5252/5301

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 watchÕs hand and day home position alignment (page E-44).

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

This can happen after the battery charge level drops to Level 4 (page E-16). Continue exposing the watch to light until the x Second Hand starts moving normally (at one- second intervals).

Time Calibration Signal

The information in this section applies only when CN (HKG, HONG KONG), or JP (TYO, TOKYO) is selected as the current location.

The x Second Hand indicates N (NO) 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 conÞ gured 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 location. If this results in the wrong time setting, check your location setting and correct it, if necessary (page E-32).

Auto Receive is not performed or I cannot perform Manual Receive.
