•
Illumination may be hard to see when viewed under direct sunlight.
•
Illumination turns off automatically whenever an alarm sounds.
•
Frequent use of illumination runs down the battery.
•
The watch may emit an audible sound whenever the display is illuminated. This is
due to vibration of the EL panel used for illumination, and does not indicate
malfunction.

Troubleshooting
Time Setting
■
The current time setting is off by hours.
Your Home City setting may be wrong (page E-14). Check your Home City setting and
correct it, if necessary.
■
The current time setting is off by one hour.
You may need to change your Home City’s standard time/daylight saving time (DST)
setting. Use the procedure under “To change the current time and date settings” (page
E-18) to change the standard time/daylight saving time (DST) setting.
Sensor modes
■
I can’t change the temperature, barometric pressure, and altitude units.
When
TYO
(Tokyo) is selected as the Home City, the altitude unit is set automatically
to meters (m), the barometric pressure unit to hectopascals (hPa), and the
temperature unit to Celsius (°C). These settings cannot be changed.
E-58
■
The battery indicator (
) appears while a sensor operation is being
performed.
The battery indicator appears in the left corner of the digital
display whenever there is not enough battery power available to
perform a sensor operation in the Barometer/Thermometer Mode
or Altimeter Mode. Sensor operation is disabled while the battery
indicator is displayed.
•
Normal operation should return after battery power recovers.
■
“ERR” appears while a sensor operation is in progress.
Subjecting the watch to strong impact can cause sensor malfunction or improper
contact of internal circuitry. When this happens,
ERR
(error) will appear on the display
and sensor operations will be disabled.

Measurement
•
If
ERR
appears while a measurement operation is being performed in a sensor mode,
restart the measurement. If
ERR
appears on the display again, it can mean there is
something wrong with the sensor.
•
Barometer/Thermometer Mode and Altimeter Mode sensor operations are disabled
whenever there is not enough battery power available to perform a sensor operation.
This is true regardless of the current battery level. In this case,
ERR
will appear on
the display. This does not indicate malfunction, and sensor operation should resume
once battery voltage returns to its normal level.
