4. Hand Reference Position Check and Correction Reference position: This refers to the base position of each hand for enabling this watch to function properly. Refer to the illustration below for the reference position of each hand. If the reference position is not set properly, the time, date, alarm ON/OFF positions and other watch functions will not be displayed properly. Before using this watch, check that the functions of the watch operate properly by performing the following procedure.
[Returning to Local Time Mode After Checking Reference Position] • After the date and each hand has displayed the reference position, pressing button (A) returns the watch to the local time mode. Alternatively, the watch automatically returns to the local time mode if the crown or buttons are not operated for two consecutive minutes. • The reference position check is canceled when the mode is switched by pulling the crown out to Position 1 while the reference position is displayed.
5. After the date has changed, pull the crown out to Position 2 once the function hand has stopped moving. 6. Click (turn) the crown to the right. • The second hand advances by 1 second for each click. • Turning the crown continuously (rapidly by two clicks or more) causes the second hand to advance continuously. Turn the crown by one click to the right or left to stop the second hand from advancing. The second hand will advance by 60 seconds and then stop automatically if it is not interrupted.
• Turning the crown continuously causes the function hand to advance continuously. Turn the crown by one click to the right or left to stop the function hand from advancing. • The date changes by one day when the function hand completes four revolutions. Turn the crown to the right to advance the function hand by clockwise rotation and continue to advance the function hand until “1” is displayed for the date.
5. Switching the Mode (Display Function) This watch is equipped with four modes consisting of a time, calendar, alarm and local time mode. The mode changes when the crown is pulled out to Position 1 and turned. The current mode can be confirmed with the mode hand. Function hand Notes: • If the crown is pulled out too far to Position 2, the watch enters the correction mode of each mode which may cause the time, date and other settings to change.
6. Setting the Time Second hand Button (A) 24 hour hand (0) Normal position Hour hand (2) Time correction position Minute hand Mode hand [Procedure for Setting the Time] 1. Pull the crown out to Position 1 (the second hand rapidly advances to the 30 seconds position and waits). Note: If the second hand does not stop at the 30 seconds position, refer to the section on “Reference Position Correction” of “4. Hand Reference Position Check and Correction” and set the reference position of the second hand.
7. Setting the Date This watch is equipped with a perpetual calendar that changes the year (number of years elapsed from the most recent leap year), month, date and day automatically until February 28, 2100, including leap years, once the date has been set. Years elapsed from most recent leap year The months are arranged such that 1:00 corresponds to January, 2:00 to February, 3:00 to March and so forth so that 11:00 corresponds to November and 12:00 to December.
4. Turn (click) the crown to set the year. A Turning the crown to the right causes the year to change in order from LY (leap year) c +1 c +2 c +3 c LY c +1 c and so on. B Turning the crown to the left causes the year to change in the opposite order from LY (leap year) c +3 c +2 c +1 c LY c +3 c and so on. 5. Press button (A). • The second hand makes one revolution and the watch enters the month correction mode. A Turning the crown one click to the right causes the second hand to advance to the next month.

[Setting the Alarm Time] Alarm ON/OFF 1. Pull the crown out to Position 1 (0) Normal position (the second hand rapidly advances to the 30 seconds (2) Alarm time setting position position and waits). 2. Turn the crown to set the mode hand to the alarm mode [ALM]. Button (B) • The hour hand and minute (1) Mode switching hand rapidly advance to the position previously set alarm time. Mode hand • The function hand moves to either ON or OFF. 3. Pull the crown out to Position 2 (alarm time setting position).
[Alarm Tone Monitor] • When button (B) is pressed with the crown in the normal position in the alarm mode [ALM], the alarm tone sounds for as long as button (B) is pressed. [Stopping the Alarm Tone] • Press either button (A) or (B) to stop the alarm tone while it is sounding. [Alarm ON/OFF Check] • When button (B) is pressed when the watch is in the time mode [TME], the function hand indicates ON or OFF for as long as button (B) is pressed to indicate the alarm status. 32 9.
• The second hand rapidly advances to the current time and begins 1-second interval movement. 4. Turn the crown by set the 24 hour hand and hour hand to the local time. A Turning the crown by one click to the right causes the 24 hour hand and hour hand to advance by one hour. B Turning the crown by one click to the left causes the 24 hour hand and hour hand to go back by one hour. • Turning the crown continuously (rapidly by two clicks or more) causes the hour hand and minute hand to move continuously.
[Power Save Feature] The second hand stops at the 0 seconds position to save power. [Normal Time Display] When the watch stops generating power as a result of the solar cell not being exposed to light for 30 minutes or more [Stopped] The second hand stops at the 0 seconds position and the other hands stop at the correct minute position. The second hand changes to 2-second interval movement.
When the watch becomes insufficiently charged, the watch switches to the time mode regardless of which mode is displayed at that time, and the second hand begins to move at 2-second intervals to indicate that the 2 seconds watch is insufficiently charged. • Although the watch continues to run normally at this 2 seconds time, the watch ends up stopping if it remains insufficiently charged for about 3 days.
• The calendar is corrected in coordination with the 24 hour hand, hour hand and minute hand. • When the watch has been sufficiently charged and power generation resumes, the second hand rapidly advances to the current seconds and begins 1-second interval movement. • The second hand begins 2-second interval movement if the watch is insufficiently charged (insufficient charge warning feature). Allow light to shine on the solar cell to fully charge the watch. 11.
Note: • The watch will continue to operate for about 7 months without additional charging once it has been fully charged. It will continue to keep time for about 1.5 years when the Power Save feature has been activated. However, once the watch has stopped as a result of being insufficiently charged, a considerable amount of time is required until it starts to run again as indicated in the table above. It is therefore recommended to charge your watch everyday.
WARNING Handling of Secondary Battery • Never attempt to remove the secondary battery from the watch. If the secondary battery must unavoidably be removed, store it out of the reach of small children to prevent accidental swallowing. • If the secondary battery should happen to be swallowed, consult a physician immediately and seek medical attention. 13.
14. All-Reset This watch may not function properly as a result of being subjected to the effects of static electricity, strong impact and so forth. When this happens, perform the All-Reset and Reference Position Alignment procedures described below. When performing the all-reset procedure, first make sure the watch is sufficiently charged and the second hand is moving at 1-second intervals.
For correct use within the design limits of the watch, confirm the level of waterresistance of your watch, as indicated on the dial and case, and consult the table. 15. Precautions CAUTION: Water-resistance performance Examples of use There are several types of water-resistant watches, as shown in the following table. The unit "bar" is roughly equal to 1 atmosphere. * WATER RESIST(ANT) xx bar may also be indicated as W.R. xx bar.
• Water-resistance for daily use (to 3 atmospheres): This type of watch is waterresistant to minor exposure to water. For example, you may wear the watch while washing your face; however, it is not designed for use underwater. • Upgraded water-resistance for daily use (to 5 atmospheres): This type of watch is water-resistant to moderate exposure to water. You may wear the watch while swimming; however, it is not designed for use while skin diving.
