Reset the time difference if different from the time of the current location.
→ How to perform manual time difference setting
① <Hour/minute hand misalignment> The automatic hand position adjustment function is activated to
automatically adjust the positions. Please use the watch as it is. The automatic hand position
alignment function is activated once a minute for the seconds hand, once an hour for the minute
hand, and once every 12 hours for the hour hand.
<Date misalignment> Since the preliminary position is not automatically adjusted, manually adjust
the position.
② If the hands are not corrected, refer to "Set the standard position of the date and the hour and minute
hands" and perform the operations.
③ When misalignment of the hand is not adjusted even with operation of 2, consult the retailer from
whom the watch was purchased.
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.
