Conditions to activate the automatic time adjustment function are not
prepared.
The watch is not in an environment where GPS signals can be received at the
moment when the watch is exposed to light.

The automatic time adjustment function has not been activated for a few days.
The watch received an incorrect time due to external factors (erroneous
reception).

ASTRON 5X53 GPS SOLAR
Sufficient energy is necessary to activate the automatic time adjustment function every day. Keep in
mind to frequently expose your watch light to charge its battery. The automatic time adjustment is
automatically activated by exposure to bright light when you are in a place that easily receives GPS
signals.
While the watch has a function that automatically starts receiving when exposed to light, it also has a
function that activates "automatic time adjustment" at the time that "manual time adjustment" was last
successful, even in environments that are not exposed to light. Normally, we recommend that, to
succeed with manual time adjustment, do it at a specific time, at which you think you will be in an
environment that can receive GPS signals. Automatic time adjustment function judges the situation.
Thereby the automatic time adjustment function gets activated even in the case of not been able to
receive light.
① The automatic hand position alignment function is activated to automatically adjust the position.
Please use the watch as it is. The automatic hand position alignment function is activated once a
minute for the seconds hand.
② When misalignment of the hand is not adjusted, consult the retailer from whom the watch was
purchased.
If the energy stored in the watch is insufficient, the automatic time adjustment function may be activated
once in 3 days.
To adjust the time immediately, carry out "manual time adjustment."
① Receive GPS signals in a place where GPS signals can be more easily received.
② Adjust the time zone as necessary.
① If the watch is returned to a normal temperature place, the accuracy will be recovered.
② If the time is incorrect after that, manually adjust the time as necessary.
③ If the watch is not recovered, consult the retailer from whom the watch was purchased.
Check DST (Daylight Saving Time) setting.
Do the time zone adjustment when you are in a place where it is easy to receive GPS signals.
→ How to adjust the time zone P. 20
The time required for charging the watch depends entirely on the amount of exposed light the watch
receives.
Refer to "Standard Charging Time" to charge the watch.
Contact the retailer from whom the watch was purchased.
Adjust the preliminary position of the date to the correct position "1" (the first day of a month).
