IMPORTANT NOTE: If you suspect a malfunction or the hands
are in an incorrect position, first check the 0-position of the hands
by pulling the crown out one click and rotate it to move the mode
hand (6:00 sub dial) to indicate (CHR). Pull the crown out an
additional 'click' to the setting position. If the hands and date do
not move to the correct 0-positions (pointing straight up to 12:00
with the date at '1'), it will be necessary to perform the all reset and
0-position procedures.
After a full recharge from complete power loss or if abnormal oper-
ation is noted, an ALL RESET and 0-POSITIONING CORRECTION
will be needed prior to setting the time and calendar.

0-positions stored in memory and then stop. (note: this may take a
few minutes to complete)

conjunction with the hour hand.)

will move slightly indicating it may now be set to its 0-position.
