Necessary Procedure After Battery Change; If The Date Dial Will Not Turn; Inputting The Calendar Data; Basic Routine Of Inputting Each Type Of Calendar Data - Seiko 4F32A Technical Manual

TECHNICAL GUIDE

• Necessary procedure after battery change

1. After the battery is replaced with a new one, be sure to contact the "AC" terminal of the circuit block
and the (+) surface of the battery with conductive tweezers for more than three seconds, with the
crown at the normal position.
2. Pull out the crown all the way to the second click, and then, push it back in to the normal position.
Repeat this procedure twice.
• If the date dial will not turn, and the second
hand starts moving at 5-second intervals, the
calendar data has been erased.
Input the calendar data following the procedure
in "Inputting the calendar data".

• Inputting the calendar data

Basic routine of inputting each type of calendar data

1) Contact the (+) surface of the battery and the terminal of the circuit block ("ø", "Y", "M" or "D") with
conductive tweezers once to activate the mode of inputting the desired type of data to the watch.
2) Contact the (+) surface of the battery and the terminal of the circuit block with tweezers repeatedly
to turn the date dial until the desired numeral appears in the calendar frame. Each contact with the
tweezers advances the date dial by one. It advances one by one and will not be advanced quickly.
• Input each type of calendar data in the following order:
ø

• If the date dial returns to the current date, and
the second hand starts moving at one-second
intervals, the calendar data is securely retained.
The battery replacement work has been
completed successfully. Next, set the time.
