TIME/CALENDAR SETTING
Do not set the date between 9:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m. Otherwise, it may not change properly. If it is
necessary to set the date during that time period, pull out the crown to the second click and turn it
counterclockwise to advance the time ahead of 1:00 a.m., and push the crown to the first click to set
the date and then reset the correct time.
When setting the hour hand, check that AM/PM is correctly set. The watch is so designed that the
calendar changes once in 24 hours.
Turn the hands past the 12 o’clock marker to determine whether the watch is set for the A.M. or P.M.
period. If the date changes, the time is set for the A.M. period. If the date does not change, the time
is set for the P.M. period.
When setting the minute hand, advance it 4 to 5 minutes ahead of the desired time and then turn it back
to the exact minute.
When setting the time, make sure that the second hand is moving at one-second intervals.
It is necessary to adjust the date at the end of February and 30-day months.
In this case, pull out the crown to the first click and turn it counterclockwise until the desired date appears.
STOPWATCH
You may feel that the buttons of the watch are harder to press compared with those of conventional
watches. This is due to the special construction needed for the stopwatch function, and, therefore, is
not a malfunction.
While the stopwatch is being used, the watch consumes 5 to 6 times the amount of energy required by time
indication alone. Before using the stopwatch, therefore, make sure that the watch is charged sufficiently.
If the stopwatch continues to be used while the second hand is moving at two-second intervals, the
watch will run down within 45 minutes.
After operating for 48 minutes, the stopwatch will stop automatically. If the stopwatch minute hand
stops at the position over 45 minutes indicator, reset the stopwatch before next use.
While the stopwatch is measuring, pressing button B will reset the stopwatch. Be careful not to press
button B by mistake.
Do not press buttons A and B at the same time, nor press one of the two buttons while keeping the other
pressed. Otherwise, a malfunction will result.
