Operation Guide 5141 (OC)
E-47
■ Hands suddenly stop moving. Button operation also is disabled.
The watch may be in the power recovery mode (page E-9). 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.
■ 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
x
E-26).
Your watch supports display of the current times in one of two different Home Time zones named TIME
x
1 and TIME 2. Check to make sure that your watch is displaying the Home Time zone you want (page
E-22).
■ 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
x
confi gure Home City settings” (page E-26).
The watch’s STD (standard time)/DST (daylight saving time) setting can be confi gured for auto x
switching in accordance with a time calibration signal. You also can manually override the STD/DST
setting confi gured by the calibration signal. If you use manual override to select a setting, timekeeping
will be off by one hour following an STD/DST switching data in your area, even if the watch is receiving
a time calibration signal. Select the correct STD (standard time)/DST (daylight saving time) setting to
suit your current location (page E-28).
If you are using in the watch in an area where time calibration signal reception is not possible, you may
x
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-29) to change the STD/DST setting.

Troubleshooting
Hand Movement and Position
■ I lost track of what mode the watch is in.
Refer to “To select a mode” (page E-20). To return directly to the Timekeeping Mode from any other
mode, push in and hold the crown for at least two seconds.
■ When pressing in the crown to enter the Stopwatch Mode from the Timekeeping Mode, the
crown needs to be held down longer than when switching to another mode.
The watch is designed this way in order to ensure that the Timekeeping Mode is not exited unintentionally
due to accidental pressing of the crown. When entering the Stopwatch Mode from the Timekeeping Mode,
push in the crown as far as it will go and hold it down until the mode changes.
■ The
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
Second Hand starts moving normally, at one-
second intervals (page E-8).
■ 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.
The watch is recovering from a sleep state (page E-10). x
The time setting is being adjusted following a successful auto time calibration signal receive operation x
(page E-11).
The watch is returning to the Timekeeping Mode automatically from the Alarm Mode (page E-40). x
E-45
Press 4. B.
This enters the x
Day home position adjustment mode.
Check the 5.
Day to confi rm that it is 1, which is its home position.
If the x
Day is not 1, rotate the crown until it is.
Rotating the crown two full consecutive turns clockwise will cause the x
Day to start changing in a forward direction (increment). If you want the
Day to change in a reverse direction (decrement), rotate the crown two
full turns counterclockwise.
To stop
x
Day movement, press any button.
Push the crown back in to return to the Timekeeping Mode.6.
This will cause the hands to return to their normal positions and resume
x
normal timekeeping. Wait until everything stops moving before performing
any other operation.
E-44
To adjust home positions manually
Push in and hold the crown for at least two seconds to enter the Timekeeping 1.
Mode.
Pull out the crown.2.
Hold down 3. B for about seven seconds. This will cause the watch to beep
twice and then the
Second Hand will perform one full revolution.
Though the
x
Second Hand will stop momentarily about two seconds after
you hold down B, do not release the button yet. Wait until the
Second
Hand completes a full revolution before you release B.
This operation will enter the home position adjustment mode and cause
x
all of the watch’s hands (but not the
Day) to move automatically to their
home positions.
Home position adjustment is complete when all hands are at their
x
12 o’clock positions.
If the x
Upper Dial Hand is not pointing at 24, which is its home position,
hold down A for about two seconds to move it there.
To exit the home position adjustment operation and return to the
x
Timekeeping Mode, push the crown back in.
E-43
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.
Hand home position adjustment is not required if the time and day settings are correct.
x
Note
Any time after you enter the home position adjustment mode in step 2 of the following procedure, you
x
can return to the Timekeeping Mode by pushing the crown back in. In either case, any adjustments you
made before the watch returned to the Timekeeping Mode will be applied.
If you do not perform any operation with the crown for about three minutes after pulling it out, crown
x
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.
E-42
Auto Correction of Hand 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 correction of hand home positions corrects the hand position
automatically.
Auto correction is performed in the Timekeeping Mode only.
x
Auto correction corrects the positions of all hands. For the x
Day, you must perform the manual
adjustment procedure under “Adjusting Home Positions Manually” (page E-43).
If the
x
Upper Dial Hand is 12 hours off of the current correct time, correct the setting using the
procedure under “Adjusting Home Positions Manually” (page E-43).
Auto correction of the
x
Lower Dial Hand is performed once a day in the middle of the night, while the
watch is in the sleep state.
Auto correction of hand home positions can take up to three and a half minutes to complete.

Rotate the crown to set the alarm time.3.

Minute Hand to start moving at high speed. To stop hand movement, press any button or rotate
the crown one full turn counterclockwise.
Push the crown back in to exit the alarm setting mode.4.
The alarm always works based on the time kept in the Timekeeping Mode. x
The watch will return to the Timekeeping Mode automatically if you do not perform any operation in x
the Alarm Mode for about two or three minutes.
To turn the alarm on or off
In the Alarm Mode, press A to toggle the alarm between on and off. The
Second Hand (short end) will
indicate the current ON/OFF setting.
To stop the alarm
Press any button.
E-40
Using the Alarm
When the alarm is turned on, an alarm will sound for about 10 seconds each day when the time in the
Timekeeping Mode (TIME 1 or TIME 2) (page E-22) reaches the preset alarm time. This is true even if the
watch is not in the Timekeeping Mode.
