If the watch becomes insufficiently charged, the second hand will automatically move to the low charge warning, informing you of a “Charge warning” and “Time setting warning”. Always take care to charge your watch so that the charge does not become insufficient. [Normal time display] If watch becomes insufficiently charged As the watch recharges If the second hand points to the SET position, it indicates that the time must be set.
<Low Power Warning> Regardless what mode the watch is in, if the power becomes very low, the watch will switch to the time display and the second hand will move to the ‘CHARGE’ position indicating that recharging is necessary. After the second hand has moved to the ‘CHARGE’ position, the watch will switch to display the time in the following sequence, 24-hour hand, hour hand, minute hand, date (function hand).

Setting the Local (Secondary) Time Local time (secondary time) is a function that can be used to set the time for another region separately from the current time. Local time can be adjusted as a time difference in units of hours only and is taken from the current time set (time mode/TME) .
After adjustment of the local time, push the crown in two steps to its normal position. Note: • If the hour hand passes the 12:00 midnight position, the date will be corrected by 1 day. Be sure to pay attention to AM/PM indicated by the 24-hour sub dial when setting the time difference.

Pull the crown out two ‘steps’ to position 2 (alarm set position). • The alarm setting is automatically turned ON. Rotate the crown to set the alarm time. (1) Rotate the crown to the right (clockwise) by 1 click to move the hour hand and minute clockwise.
What is a Reference or 0-Position? The term “reference or 0-position” refers to the hand and date base positions used as a reference for correct operation of the watch. If this position is not correctly set, the watch will not display its functions correctly.
[Correcting the Reference or 0-Position] <Correcting the Reference or 0-Positions of the 24-Hour Hand, Hour Hand, Minute Hand, and Second Hand> Pull the crown out two ‘steps’ to position 2 while in chronograph [CHR] mode to correct the reference or 0-position of each hand. Press the upper right button (A) to correct the second hand by 1-second each time the button is pressed.
If subjected to static electricity or strong shock, the watch may cease to operate correctly. In such cases, correct reference or 0-positions after performing the all-reset. Before executing the all-reset, first ensure the watch is fully charged and that the second hand is moving in 1-second intervals. Note: If the all-reset is executed while the watch is insufficiently charged, subsequent operations will become impossible and the watch will completely stop.
Note: Take care to perform operations correctly as the watch will not function if the crown is returned to the normal position before adjustment is complete. If this happens, you must repeat the all-reset operation and reset the reference or 0-positions.
