NOTES ON USING THE WATCH
TIME/DATE SETTING
When setting the date, turn the crown counterclockwise to advance the date and clockwise to move
it back. The date changes one day by turning the hour hand two full circles.
The date changes between 11:45 p.m. and 0:30 a.m. while the watch is in operation and between 9:00
p.m. and 3:00 a.m. when it is changed manually by turning the hands. Therefore, note the following.
[AM/PM checking]
When setting the hour hand, check that AM/PM is correctly set.
* When setting the time by advancing the hands, turn the hour hand past the 3 o’clock marker. If the
date advances, the time is set for the AM period. If it does not change, the time is set for the PM
period.
* When setting the time by turning back the hands, turn the hour hand past the 9 o’clock marker. If
the date moves back, the time is set for the PM period. If it does not change, the time is set for
the AM period.
[Setting the time between 9:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m.]
* If the time is adjusted to the time period between 9:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m., the date may not change
properly. The watch, however, will indicate the date properly after 3:00 a.m.
* To prevent this from occurring, first turn back the hour hand past 9:00 p.m., checking that the date
moves back to the previous day, and then, advance the hands to the desired time.
When setting the minute hand, advance it 4 to 5 minutes ahead of the desired time and then turn it
back to the exact time.
HOW TO CHECK THE CALENDAR
If the crown is pulled out to the second click instead of the first click and pushed back in to the normal
position, the watch will not show the calendar.
Do not leave the crown at the first or second click when you use the watch, as this will shorten the
battery life.
