To trigger auto correction of hand home positions

ξPerform the following procedure when the time setting is off.

 

In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down Dfor about six

 

seconds until the x Second Hand completes one full

 

revolution.

 

ξ Though the x Second Hand will stop momentarily about



three seconds after you hold down D, do not release

 

the button yet. Wait until the x Second Hand completes

 

a full revolution before you release D.

ξTo interrupt an ongoing correction operation and return to the Timekeeping Mode, press Dagain.

ξIf you release Dwhen the x Second Hand stops the first time (after about three seconds) in the above operation, the watch will enter the home position adjustment mode, which is described under “Adjusting Home Positions Manually” (page E-62). If this happens, press Ato return to the Timekeeping Mode and then perform the above operation again.

Adjusting Home Positions Manually

Strong magnetism or impact can cause the hands and/or day of the watch to be off, even if the watch is able to perform the signal receive operation. If this happens, perform the applicable home position adjustment procedures in this section.

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

ξYou also can use auto correction of the hand home positions (page E-59) to correct the home positions of the z Hour Hand, c Minute Hand, and x Second Hand.

Note

Any time after you enter the home position adjustment mode in step 1 of the following procedure, you can return to the Timekeeping Mode by pressing A. The watch also will return to the Timekeeping Mode automatically if you do not perform any operation for about two or three minutes in the home position adjustment mode. In either case, any adjustments you made before the watch returned to the Timekeeping Mode will be applied.

home positions.

ξManually triggered auto correction of hand home positions performs the following

two steps.

1.The hands will move automatically in order to determine the home positions of the watch.

2.After the hand home positions are determined, the watch will return to normal timekeeping automatically. This completes the correction operation.

Troubleshooting

Hand Movement and Position■I lost track of what mode the watch is in.

Refer to “To select a mode” (page E-32). To return directly to the Timekeeping Mode from any other mode, hold down Cat least two seconds.

■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-12).

7.Press Ato return to the Timekeeping Mode.

ξThe m Day Indicator moves to the current day, and then the z Hour Hand and the c Minute Hand move to the current time. Wait until everything stops moving.

E-66

■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-16).

ξThe time setting is being adjusted following a successful auto time calibration signal receive operation (page E-18).

ξThe watch is returning to the Timekeeping Mode automatically from the Alarm Mode (page E-58).

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

The watch may be in the power recovery mode (page E-14). 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.

E-67

■The current time setting is off by hours.

Your Home City setting may be wrong. Check your Home City setting and correct it, if necessary (page E-34).

■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 confi gure Home City settings” (page E-34).

If you are using the watch in an area where time calibration signal reception is not possible, you may need to change your Home City’s STD (standard time)/DST (daylight saving time) setting manually. Use the procedure under “To toggle the Home City time between standard time and daylight saving time” (page E-36) to change the STD/DST setting.

■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 alignment. Adjust the watch’s hand and day home position alignment (page E-63).
