Nothing happens when I press the crown button.■
To prevent unintentional operation, the button press operation of the crown is disabled
automatically for about eight seconds after you push the crown back in. It will become
re-enabled after about eight seconds.
See “Pushing the Crown In” (page E-7).
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-18). 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.

Crown Operations
The watch seems to change modes on its own.■
The watch will change modes whenever you press the button part of the crown. You
can disable mode switching when the crown button is pressed, if you want.
See “To disable crown button mode switching” (page E-8).
The watch will not change modes.■
Crown button mode switching may be disabled. Re-enable crown button mode
switching.
See “To re-enable crown button mode switching” (page E-9).
Nothing happens when I rotate the crown while it is pulled out.■
You did not perform any operation for more than three minutes while the crown was
pulled out, causing operation to become disabled automatically. Push the crown in
and pull it back out again to re-enable operation.
See “Using the Crown” (page E-3).
E-96
The watch’s STD-AT (standard time)/DST-AT (daylight saving time) setting can be x
confi gured for auto 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-48).
If you are using in the watch in an area where time calibration signal reception is
x
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-51) to
change the STD/DST setting.
■ The hands and/or day indications are 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-88).
E-95
■ Hands suddenly stop moving. Button operation also is disabled.
The watch may be in the power recovery mode (page E-20). 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 E-45).
■ The current time setting is off by one hour.
If you are using the watch in an area where time calibration signal reception is
x
possible, see “To confi gure Home City settings” (page E-45).

■ 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-18).
■ 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-23).
x
The time setting is being adjusted following a successful auto time calibration x
signal receive operation (page E-24).
The watch is returning to the Timekeeping Mode automatically from the Alarm Mode x
(page E-78).

Troubleshooting
Hand Movement and Position
■ I lost track of what mode the watch is in.
Refer to “To select a mode” (page E-41). To return directly to the Timekeeping Mode
from any other mode, press and hold the crown button (without unlocking the crown)
for at least two seconds.
■ When pressing the crown button to enter the Stopwatch Split 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 button. When entering
the Stopwatch Split Mode from the Timekeeping Mode, press the crown button and
hold it down until the mode changes.

Be sure to rotate the crown away from you only when adjusting home positions. x
You cannot adjust home positions by rotating the crown towards you.
Rotating the crown two full consecutive turns away from you will cause the hand

button or rotate the crown one full turn towards you.
