*If the time is adjusted to the time period between 9:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m., the date may not change properly. The watch, however, will indicate the date properly after 3:00 a.m.

When setting the minute hand, advance it 4 to 5 minutes ahead of the desired time and then turn it back to the exact time.

Do not change the day between 10:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. Otherwise, it may not change properly. If it is necessary to set the day during that time period, first change the time to any time outside it, set the day and then reset the correct time.
