Troubleshooting
Hand Movement and Position
■
I lost track of what mode the watch is in.
Refer to “To select a mode”. To return directly to the Timekeeping Mode from any other mode, hold down
C
for about two seconds.
■
The
x
Second Hand
is moving at two second intervals.
■
All the watch’s hands are stopped at 12 o’clock and none of the buttons work.
Power may be low. Expose the watch to light until the
x
Second Hand
starts moving normally, at one-second
intervals.
■
The hands of the watch suddenly start moving at high speed, even when I do not perform any
operation.
This could be due to any one of the following causes. In all cases, the hand movement does not indicate
malfunction, and should stop shortly.
The watch is recovering from a sleep state.
The time setting is being adjusted following a successful auto time calibration signal receive operation.
The watch is returning to the Timekeeping Mode automatically from the Alarm Mode.
■
Hands suddenly stop moving. Button operation also is disabled.
The watch may be in the power recovery mode. Do not perform any operation until the hands return to
their normal positions (in about 15 minutes). The hands should return to their correct positions when power
recovers. To help power recover, leave the watch in a location where it is exposed to light.
■
The current time setting is off by hours.
Your Home City setting may be wrong. Check your Home City setting and correct it, if necessary.
■
The current time setting is off by one hour.
If you are using the watch in an area where time calibration signal reception is possible, see “To confi gure
Home City settings”.
If you are using the watch in an area where time calibration signal reception is not possible, you may need to
change your Home City’s
STD
(standard time)/
DST
(daylight saving/summer time) setting manually. Use the
procedure under “To toggle the Home City time between standard time and daylight saving time” to change the
STD
/
DST
setting.
■
The hands and/or day indications are off.
This could indicate that the watch has been exposed to magnetism or strong impact, which has caused
problems with proper hand and day alignment. Adjust the watch’s hand and day home position alignment.
World Time Mode
■
The World Time indicated by the
b
Right Dial Hands
in the World Time Mode is one hour off from the
actual time in the selected time zone.
The
STD
(standard time)/
DST
(daylight saving/summer time) setting of the selected World Time City may be
wrong. Select the correct
STD
(standard time)/
DST
(daylight saving/summer time) setting.
■
The World Time indicated by the
b
Right Dial Hands
in the World Time Mode is off.
Your Home City settings may be wrong. Check your Home City settings and correct them, if necessary.
Charging
■
The watch does not resume operation after I expose it to light.
This can happen after the power level drops to Level 3. Continue exposing the watch to light until the
x
Second Hand
starts moving normally (at one-second intervals).
■
The
x
Second Hand
starts to move at one-second intervals, but then suddenly returns to moving at
two-second intervals.
The watch probably is not suffi ciently charged yet. Continue keeping it exposed to light.
Time Calibration Signal
The information in this section applies only when
LON
,
PAR
,
ATH
,
HNL
,
ANC
,
LAX
,
DEN
,
CHI
,
NYC
,

,
or
TYO
is selected as the Home City. You need to adjust the current time manually when any other city is
selected as the Home City.
■
The
x
Second Hand
indicates NO (N) when I check the result of the latest receive operation.
Possible Cause
Remedy
You are wearing or moving the watch, or performing a
button operation during the signal receive operation.
The watch is in an area with poor reception conditions.
Keep the watch in an area where reception conditions are
good while the signal receive operation is being performed.
You are in an area where signal reception is not possible
for some reason.
See “Approximate Reception Ranges”.
The calibration signal is not being transmitted for some
reason.
Check the website of the organization that maintains the
time calibration signal in your area for information about
its down times.
Try again later.
■
The current time setting changes after I set it manually.
You may have the watch confi gured for Auto Receive of the time calibration signal, which will cause the time
to be adjusted automatically according to your currently selected Home City. If this results in the wrong time
setting, check your Home City setting and correct it, if necessary.

■
The current time setting is off by one hour.
Possible Cause
Remedy
Signal reception on a day for switching between
STD
(standard time)/
DST
(daylight saving/summer time) may
have failed for some reason.
Perform the operation under “To get ready for a receive
operation”. The time setting will be adjusted automatically as
soon as signal reception is successful.
If you are unable to receive the time calibration signal,
change the
STD
(standard time)/
DST
(daylight saving/
summer time) setting manually.
■
Auto Receive is not performed or I cannot perform Manual Receive.
Possible Cause
Remedy
The watch is in the Stopwatch Mode.
Auto Receive is not performed while the watch is in the
Stopwatch Mode. Hold down
C
for about two seconds to
enter the Timekeeping Mode.
Your Home City setting is wrong.
Check your Home City setting and correct it, if necessary.
There is not enough power for signal reception.
Expose the watch to light to charge it.
■
Signal reception is being performed successfully, but the time and/or day is wrong.
Possible Cause
Remedy
Your Home City setting is wrong.
Check your Home City setting and correct it, if necessary.
The watch may have been exposed to magnetism or
strong impact, which has caused problems with proper
hand and day alignment.
Adjust the watch’s hand and day home positions.
