Operation Guide 5096 (OC)
If the current home positions are within ±15 minutes 00 seconds
Use 2. C (+1 second) and B (–1 second) to adjust the hand positions so they
point to 12 o’clock.
Holding down either button for about two seconds and then releasing it starts •
high-speed hand movement in the applicable direction.
To stop high-speed hand movement, press any button. •
After adjusting the home positions, go to step 4. •
If the current home positions is greater than ±15 minutes 00 seconds
2. After performing step 1, hold down the C and B buttons at the same time until
the
z Hour Hand, c Minute Hand, x Second Hand, and v 24-hour Hand all
move to 12 o’clock.
Use 3. C (+1 second) and B (–1 second) to adjust the hand positions so they
point to 12 o’clock.
Holding down either button for about two seconds and then releasing it starts •
high-speed hand movement in the applicable direction.
To stop high-speed hand movement, press any button. •
The •
v 24-hour Hand is synchronized with the z Hour Hand and c Minute
Hand, so separate adjustment is not required.
After adjusting the home positions, go to step 4. •
Press 4. A. This will cause the
n Stopwatch Minute Hand and b Stopwatch
Second Hand to move to 12 o’clock for home position adjustment.
The •
n Stopwatch Minute Hand and b Stopwatch Second Hand are in their
correct home positions if they are pointed precisely at 12 o’clock. If the hands
are in the correct home positions, advance to step 6.
Use 5. C (+1 second) and B (–1 second) to adjust the hand positions so they
point to 12 o’clock.
Holding down either button for about two seconds and then releasing it starts •
high-speed hand movement in the applicable direction.
To stop high-speed hand movement, press any button. •
After adjusting the home positions, go to step 6. •
Press 6. A to exit home position correction and return to regular timekeeping.
Troubleshooting
Hand Movement and Position
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.
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. •
The time setting is being adjusted following a successful auto time calibration signal receive operation. •
The current time setting is off by hours.
Your location setting may be wrong. Check your location setting and correct it, if necessary.
The hands are off.
This could indicate that the watch has been exposed to magnetism or strong impact, which has caused
problems with proper hand alignment. Adjust the watch’s hand home position alignment.
Charging
The watch does not resume operation after I expose it to light.
This can happen after the power level drops to Level 3. 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 sufficiently charged yet. Continue keeping it exposed to light.
Time Calibration Signal
The information in this section applies only when HONG KONG (HKG) or TOKYO (TYO) is selected as the
current location. You need to adjust the current time manually when OFF is selected as the current location.
The
x Second Hand indicates NO (N) when I check the result of the latest receive operation.
Possible Cause Remedy
You are wearing or moving the watch, or performing a •
button operation during the signal receive operation.
The watch is in an area with poor reception conditions. •
Keep the watch in an area where reception conditions
are good while the signal receive operation is being
performed.
You are in an area where signal reception is not possible
for some reason.
See “Approximate Reception Ranges”.
The calibration signal is not being transmitted for some
reason.
Check the website of the organization that maintains the •
time calibration signal in your area for information about
its down times.
Try again later. •
The current time setting changes after I set it manually.
You may have the watch configured for Auto Receive of the time calibration signal, 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.
Auto Receive is not performed or I cannot perform Manual Receive.
Possible Cause Remedy
Your location setting is wrong. Check your location setting and correct it, if necessary.
There is not enough power for signal reception. Expose the watch to light to charge it.
Signal reception is being performed successfully, but the time is wrong.
Possible Cause Remedy
Your location setting is wrong. Check your location setting and correct it, if necessary.
The watch may have been exposed to magnetism or
strong impact, which has caused problems with proper
hand alignment.
Adjust the watch’s hand home positions.
