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.

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
x
correct.
You also can use auto correction of the hand home positions (page E-59) to correct x
the home positions of the
z
Hour Hand,
c
Minute Hand, and
x
Second Hand.
Note
Any time after you enter the home position adjustment mode in step 1 of the following
procedure, you can return to the Timekeeping Mode by pressing A. The watch also
will return to the Timekeeping Mode automatically if you do not perform any operation
for about two or three minutes in the home position adjustment mode. In either case,
any adjustments you made before the watch returned to the Timekeeping Mode will
be applied.
E-61
Manually triggered auto correction of hand home positions performs the following x
two steps.
The hands will move automatically in order to determine the home positions of the 1.
watch.
After the hand home positions are determined, the watch will return to normal 2.
timekeeping automatically. This completes the correction operation.
E-60
To trigger auto correction of hand home positions
Perform the following procedure when the time setting
x
is off.
In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down D for about six
seconds until the
x
Second Hand completes one full
revolution.
Though the
x
x
Second Hand will stop momentarily about
three seconds after you hold down D, do not release
the button yet. Wait until the
x
Second Hand completes
a full revolution before you release D.
To interrupt an ongoing correction operation and return
x
to the Timekeeping Mode, press D again.
If you release
x D when the
x
Second Hand stops the fi rst time (after about three
seconds) in the above operation, the watch will enter the home position adjustment
mode, which is described under “Adjusting Home Positions Manually” (page E-62).
If this happens, press A to return to the Timekeeping Mode and then perform the
above operation again.
