Auto Correction of Hand Home Positions
Strong magnetism or impact can cause the hands and/or day setting to be off, even
if the watch is able to perform the signal receive operation. Auto correction of hand
home positions correct the hand position automatically.
Auto correction is performed in the Timekeeping Mode only.
Auto correction corrects the positions of the
z
Hour Hand
,
c
Minute Hand
, and
x
Second Hand
. For the dial hands and day, you must perform the manual
adjustment procedure under “Adjusting the Home Positions Manually”.
Each hour, the watch performs automatic correction of the hand positions from –55
minutes to +5 minutes.
You also can trigger auto correction of hand home positions manually, if you want.
See “To trigger auto correction of hand home positions” for more information.
Auto correction of hand home positions can take up to three and a half minutes to
complete.
If hand positions are off by one hour or more, correct them using the procedure
under “To trigger auto correction of hand home positions” or “Adjusting the Home
Positions Manually”.
To trigger auto correction of hand home positions
Perform the following procedure when the time setting
is off.
In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down
D
for about six
seconds until the
x
Second Hand
completes one full
revolution.
Though the
x
Second Hand
will stop momentarily about
three seconds after you hold down
D
, do not release
the button yet. Wait until the
x
Second Hand
completes
a full revolution before you release
D
.
To interrupt an ongoing correction operation and return
to the Timekeeping Mode, press
D
again.
If you release
D
when the
x
Second Hand
stops the fi rst time (after about three
seconds) in the above operation, the watch will enter the home position adjustment
mode, which is described under “Adjusting the Home Positions Manually”. If this
happens, press
A
to return to the Timekeeping Mode and then perform the above
operation again.
Manually triggered auto correction of hand home positions performs the following
two steps.
The hands will move automatically in order to determine the home positions of the
1.
watch.
After the hand home positions are determined, the watch will return to normal
2.
timekeeping automatically. This completes the correction operation.
Adjusting the Home Positions Manually
Strong magnetism or impact can cause the hands and/or date of the watch to be
off, even if the watch is able to perform the signal receive operation. If this happens,
perform the applicable home position adjustment procedures in this section.
Hand home position adjustment is not required if the time and day settings are
correct.
You also can use auto correction of the hand home positions to correct the home
positions of the
z
Hour Hand
,
c
Minute Hand
, and
x
Second Hand
.
Note
Any time after you enter the home position adjustment mode in step 1 of the following
procedure, you can return to the Timekeeping Mode by pressing
A
. The watch also
will return to the Timekeeping Mode automatically if you do not perform any operation
for about two or three minutes in home position adjustment mode. In either case, any
adjustments you made before the watch returned to the Timekeeping Mode will be
applied.
To adjust the home positions
Hold down
1.
C
for about two seconds until the watch beeps twice and enters the
Timekeeping Mode.
Hold down
2.
D
for about three seconds until the watch beeps.
The watch is now in the home position adjustment
mode.
The watch will exit the adjustment mode automatically
if you do not perform any operation for about two or
three minutes.

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 normal operation returns. 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 in 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 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
Lower Left 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 time) setting of the selected World
Time City may be wrong. Select the correct
STD
(standard time)/
DST
(daylight saving
time) setting.
■
The World Time indicated by the
b
Lower Left Dial Hands
in the World Time
Mode is off.
Your Home City setting may be wrong. Check your Home City setting and correct it,
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
,
HKG
, or
TYO
is selected at 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.
