Thermometer Precautions

 Temperature measurements are affected by your body temperature (while you are 

wearing the watch), direct sunlight, and moisture. To achieve a more accurate 
temperature measurement, remove the watch from your wrist, place it in a well 
ventilated location out of direct sunlight, and wipe all moisture from the case. It 
takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes for the case of the watch to reach the actual 
surrounding temperature.

Temperature Reading Precautions

When taking temperature readings, it is best to remove the watch from your wrist in 
order to eliminate the effects of body heat. Remove the watch from your wrist and 
allow it to hang freely from your bag or in another location where it is not exposed to 
direct sunlight.

Moon Data

The Moon phase and Moon age information that appears first when you enter the 
Moon Data Mode shows the data at noon for your currently selected Home City on the 
current date, according to the Timekeeping Mode. After that you can specify another 
date to view data.

 If the Moon data is not correct, check your Timekeeping Mode settings and correct 

them if necessary.

 The Moon phase is displayed in the Timekeeping Mode, and the Moon Data Mode.

 If the Moon phase indicator shows a phase that is a mirror image of the actual 

moon phase in your area, you can use the procedure under “Reversing the 
Displayed Moon Phase” (page E-66) to change it.

 Use the Moon Data Screen to specify the Moon Data date. You can use 

E

 (+) to 

change the displayed date in one-day increments. Pressing 

E

 will display the year 

of the displayed date.

E-66

Reversing the Displayed Moon Phase

The left-right (east-west) appearance of the Moon depends on whether the Moon is 
north of you (northerly view) or south of you (southerly view) as you view it. 
You can use the procedure below to reverse the displayed Moon phase so it matches 
the actual appearance of the Moon where you are located.

 To determine the viewing direction of the Moon, use a compass to take a direction 

reading of the Moon at its meridian passage.

 For information about the Moon phase indicator, see “Moon Phase Indicator” (page 

E-68).

E-67

To reverse the displayed Moon phase

1. In the Moon Data Mode, hold down 

A

 until the Moon 

phase indicator starts to flash.

 This is the indicator switching screen.

2. Press 

E

 to toggle the Moon phase indicator between 

the southerly view (indicated by 

) and northerly 

view (indicated by 

).

 Northerly view: Moon is north of you.

 Southerly view: Moon is south of you.

3. When the Moon phase indicator setting is the way you 

want, press 

E

 to exit the switching screen and return 

to the Moon Data Mode screen.

Moon Phase Indicator

The Moon phase indicator of this watch indicates the 
current phase of the Moon as shown below. It is based on 
the view of the left side of the moon at meridian transit 
from the northern hemisphere of the Earth. If the 
appearance of the Moon phase indicator is reversed from 
the actual Moon as viewed from your location, you can 
use the procedure under “To reverse the displayed Moon 
phase” (page E-67) to change the indicator.
