■ 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-19).
The period when summer time is applied in the location where you are using the watch may be x
different from the period set for your currently selected Home City. Use the procedure under “To switch
between standard time and summer time manually” (E-21) to switch from AUTO to STD (for standard
time) or DST (for summer time).
■ 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 indicator alignment. Adjust the watch’s hand and day indicator home
position alignment (page E-27).
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-8). 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.

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 (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).
■ 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-19).

Pull out the crown.1.
Hold down 2. B until the
x
Second Hand completes the two-part movement
described below. Note that you will need to keep B depressed for at least
seven seconds.
Part 1:

Second
Hand should move to 57-second or 3-second position, if the
x
x Second Hand is adjusted correctly.
If the

x
Second Hand does not move to 57-second or 3-second position,
it means that its home position is off and needs adjustment.

Adjusting 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 Home Position Adjustment
Auto correction of hand home positions corrects the hand position automatically.
Auto correction corrects the positions of all hands. For the
x
v
Day Indicator, you must perform the
manual adjustment procedure under “To adjust home positions manually” (page E-28).
Manual Home Position Adjustment
Perform the procedure in this section if auto home position adjustment is not possible for some reason.
Hand home position adjustment is not required if the time and day settings are correct. x
Note
