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 regular timekeeping mode only.
Auto correction corrects the positions of the
dial hands and day, you must perform the manual adjustment procedure under "Adjusting 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 Home Positions Manually".
To trigger auto correction of hand home positions
Perform the following procedure when the time setting is off.
In the regular 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 regular timekeeping,
press D again.
If you release
D when the x Second Hand stops the first time (after about
three seconds) in the above operation, the watch will enter the home position
adjustment mode, which is described under "Adjusting Home Positions
Manually". If this happens, press A to return to regular timekeeping and then
perform the above operation again.
Manually triggered auto correction of hand home positions performs the following
two steps.
1.
The hands will move automatically in order to determine the home positions of
the watch.
2.
After the hand home positions are determined, the watch will return to normal
timekeeping automatically. This completes the correction operation.

Adjusting 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
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 regular timekeeping by pressing A. The watch also will return to regular timekeeping automatically
if you do not perform any operation for about two or three minutes in the home position adjustment mode. In
either case, any adjustments you made before the watch returned to regular timekeeping will be applied.
To adjust home positions manually

Troubleshooting

Hand Movement and Position
■ ■ 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 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 configure
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
■ ■ The World Time indicated by the n World Time Hour Hand and m World Time Minute Hand 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 n World Time Hour Hand and m World Time Minute Hand 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
z Hour
two-second intervals.
The watch probably is not sufficiently charged yet. Continue keeping it exposed to light.
Time Calibration Signal
The information in this section applies only when LONDON (LON), PARIS (PAR), ATHENS (ATH),
HONOLULU (HNL), ANCHORAGE (ANC), LOS ANGELES (LAX), DENVER (DEN), CHICAGO (CHI),
NEW YORK (NYC), HONG KONG (HKG), or TOKYO (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
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.
You are in an area where signal reception is not possible for
some reason.
The calibration signal is not being transmitted for some
reason.
■ ■ The current time setting changes after I set it manually.
You may have the watch configured 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
Signal reception on a day for switching between STD
(standard time)/DST (daylight saving/summer time) may have
failed for some reason.
After confirming that the
x Second Hand is at the proper home position, press
C. This will switch to z Hour Hand and c Minute Hand home position
adjustment.
The
z Hour Hand and c Minute Hand are at their proper home positions if
they both move to 12 o'clock. If the hands are not positioned correctly, use
D (+) and B (–) to move them to their proper home positions.
After confirming that the
z Hour Hand and c Minute Hand are in their correct
home positions, press C. This will switch to n World Time Hour Hand and
m World Time Minute Hand home position adjustment.
The
n World Time Hour Hand and m World Time Minute Hand are at their
proper home positions if they both move to 24. If the hands are not positioned
correctly, use D (+) and B (–) to move them to 24.
After confirming that the
n World Time Hour Hand and m World Time Minute
Hand are in the correct home position, press C. This will advance to v Day of
the Week Hand home position adjustment.
The
v Day of the Week Hand is in the correct home position if it is pointing at
Su. If it isn't, use D (+) and B (–) to move it to Su.
After confirming that the
v Day of the Week Hand is in the correct home position,
press C. This will advance to b Day home position adjustment.
The
b Day is in the correct home position if it shows 1. If it doesn't, use D (+)
and B (–) to change the day to 1.
Press
A to return to regular timekeeping.
The
b Day moves to the current day, and then the z Hour Hand and the
c Minute Hand will move to the current time. Wait until everything stops
moving.
Remedy
Keep the watch in an area where reception conditions
are good while the signal receive operation is being
performed.
See "Approximate Reception Ranges".
Check the website of the organization that maintains
the time calibration signal in your area for information
about its down times.
Try again later.
Remedy
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.
