Operation Guide 5262

World Time Mode

■The World Time indicated by the n Right Dial Hands in the World Time Mode is one hour off from the actual time in the selected World Time City.

The STD (standard time)/DST (daylight saving/summer time) setting of the selected World Time City may be wrong. Select the correct STD (standard time)/DST (daylight saving/summer time) setting (page E-53).

■The World Time indicated by the n Right Dial Hands in the World Time Mode is off.

Your Home City settings may be wrong. Check your Home City settings and correct them, if necessary (page E-33).

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-11). 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 suffi ciently charged yet. Continue keeping it exposed to light.

Time Calibration Signal

The information in this section applies only when LON, PAR, ATH, HNL, ANC, LAX, DEN, CHI, NYC, HKG, or TYO is selected as 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 confi gured for Auto Receive of the time calibration signal (page E-24), 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-33).

■The current time setting is off by one hour.
