Hand Home Position Adjustment
The hour, minute, and second hands of this watch can be put out of position by strong magnetism
or strong impact. When this happens, you can use the procedure below to adjust the hand
positions.
To adjust home positions
1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down
A
for at least six seconds
until
HAND SET
appears on the digital display. This is the setting
mode. Release
A
after
HAND SET
appears.
• This will cause SEC 00 to fl ash on the digital display, indicating
the second hand adjustment mode.
2. Check the position of the second hand.
• If the second hand is pointing to 12 o’clock, it is in the correct
home position. If it isn’t, use
D
(forward) and
B
(back) to adjust
the second hand position so it points to 12 o’clock.
• Holding down either button will cause the second hand to move
at high speed.
3. Press
C
. This will cause
0:00
to fl ash on the digital display,
indicating the hour and minute adjustment mode.
4. Check the positions of the hour and minute hands.
• The hands are in the correct home positions if they are pointing
to 12 o’clock. If they aren’t, use
D
(forward) and
B
(back) to
adjust their positions.
• Holding down either button will cause the hour and minute
hands to move at high speed.
5. Press
A
to exit the setting screen.
• This will cause the hour and minute hands to move to the current
Timekeeping Mode time.

Determining the Direction to Qibla
This part of the manual tells you how to determine Qibla, which is the direction of the Kaaba in
Makkah. It also explains how to determine magnetic north, and display one of 16 direction indicators
along with the angle between magnetic north and the direction that the watch’s 12 o’clock position is
facing.
Important!
Be sure to keep this watch away from any sources of strong magnetism whenever using the digital
compass to determining directions or Qibla. Also note that proper digital compass operation is
impossible while inside a motor vehicle. For details, see “Digital Compass Precautions” on page
E-27 of this manual.
To determine Qibla
1. Confi gure your current Home City settings. See “Confi guring Home
City Settings” (page E-12).
2. Place the watch on fl at surface or (if you wearing the watch), make
sure that your wrist horizontal (in relation to the horizon).
•
Trying to take a Qibla direction reading while the watch is not
horizontal can produce erroneous results.
3. In the Timekeeping Mode or while the Today’s Salat Time Screen is
displayed, press
B
.
• This enters the Qibla Mode.
•
-QIBLA-
appears on the digital display and the second hand
points to 12 o’clock. Next, Qibla readings start.
• The watch will take readings every second for about 20
seconds, and the second hand will point towards Qibla.
Second hand
E-21
• If the watch’s current latitude and longitude setting is in the vicinity of Makkah (21.4° north
latitude, 39.8° east longitude), MAKKAH will appear on the digital display and the second
hand will point to 12 o’clock.
• - - - appears on the digital display after measurement is complete.
• After Qibla readings are complete, press
C
to return to the Timekeeping Mode. To perform
measurement again, press
B
.
• If you do not perform any operation for one or two minutes, the watch will automatically
return to the Timekeeping Mode or the Today’s Salat Time Screen.
About the Qibla angle
The Qibla angle represents the clockwise angle formed between a line starting from your current
location extending to magnetic north, and a line starting from your current location extending to
Makkah. When you are near Makkah, moving to a different location can cause a major change in
the Qibla angle, even if the move is a short distance.

To take a direction reading
In the Qibla Mode, point the 12 o’clock position of the watch in the
direction you want to determine, and then press
A
.
•
-NORTH-
will appear on the digital display and the second
hand will move to 12 o’clock.
• After about one second, a direction reading operation will start.
• The second hand will move to magnetic north, and one of 16
direction indicators will appear on the digital display along with
an angle value that indicates the angle between magnetic north
and the direction that the 12 o’clock position of the watch is
pointing.
• See “Digital Compass Readings” on page E-23 for information
about what appears on the digital display.
• The watch will continue to take direction readings every second
for 20 seconds.
• - - - appears on the digital display after measurement is
complete.
• Press
A
to return to the Qibla Mode.

Calibrating the Bearing Sensor Reading
You should calibrate the bearing sensor whenever you feel that the direction readings being
produced by the watch are off. Bearing sensor calibration is performed using bidirectional
calibration. After calibration the sensor, you can also manually perform magnetic declination
correction.
•
Bidirectional Calibration
Bidirectional calibration calibrates the bearing sensor in relation to magnetic north. Use
bidirectional calibration when you want to take readings within an area exposed to magnetic force.
This type of calibration should be used if the watch becomes magnetized for any reason.
