Adjusting the Home Positions
If the time and date settings are wrong even after the time calibration signal is
received normally, use the following procedure to adjust their home positions.
• You can use the procedure in this section to adjust the position of the second hand,
the stopwatch minute hand and stopwatch 1/20 second hand whenever they do not
align with the 12 o'clock position when you enter the Home Position Adjustment Mode.
To adjust the home positions
1. In the Timekeeping Mode, press C four times to enter
Second hand
the Home Position Adjustment Mode.
2. Hold down A until 0 0 starts to flash, which indicates
the analog setting screen.
• The second hand is at the proper home position if it
moves to 12 o'clock. If it doesn't, press B to move it
to 12 o'clock.
3. After confirming that the second hand is at the proper
home position, press C.
This will switch to hour hand and minute hand home
position adjustment (Hm flashes).
• The hour hand and minute hand are at their proper

home positions if they both move to 12 o'clock, and if
the 24-hour hand is pointing at hour 24. If the hands
are not positioned correctly, use B to move them to
their proper home positions.
4. After confirming that the hour hand and minute hand
are both at their proper home positions, press C.
This will switch to stopwatch 1/20 second hand home
position adjustment (20 flashes).
• The stopwatch 1/20 second hand is at the proper
home position if it moves to 0 position. If it doesn't,

at the proper home position, press C. This will switch
to stopwatch minute hand home position adjustment
(60 flashes).
• The stopwatch minute hand is at the proper home
position if it moves to 60. If it doesn't, use B to move
it to 60.

Timekeeping
Use the Timekeeping Mode to set and view the current
Hour hand
time and date, and to switch between Standard Time and
Minute hand
Daylight Saving Time (summer time).
• Daylight Saving Time (summer time) advances the time

Setting the Time and Date Manually
Make sure you select your Home Time Zone before you change the current time and
date settings. Dual Time Mode times are all displayed in accordance with the
Timekeeping Mode settings. Because of this, Dual Time Mode times will not be
correct if you do not select the proper Home Time Zone before setting the time and
date in the Timekeeping Mode.
• When setting the time and date, you also can configure settings for your Home
Time Zone (the time zone where you normally use the watch) and summer time
(Daylight Saving time or DST).
To set the time and date manually
1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down A until the UTC
DST indicator
offset value starts to flash, which indicates the setting
screen.
• The second hand will move at high speed to the 12
o'clock position, where it will stop.
UTC offset value
: +8.0
: –4.0
• The UTC offset value shows the difference in hours between the currently
selected time zone and Coordinated Universal Time.
• The DST indicator indicates that Daylight Saving Time (summer time) is turned
on for the currently selected time zone.
2. Use B to select the time zone you want to use as your Home Time Zone.
• For full details about UTC offset values, see the "Time Zone Table".
3. Press C to move the flashing in the sequence shown below to select other
settings.

• Changing the minutes value on the digital display will cause the minute and

Daylight Saving Time (DST)
Daylight Saving Time (summer time) advances the time setting by one hour from
Standard Time. Remember that not all countries or even local areas use Daylight
Saving Time.
• If you experience problems receiving the time calibration signal in your area, it
probably is best to switch between Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time
(summer time) manually.
To change the Daylight Saving Time (summer time) setting
1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down A until the UTC offset value starts to flash,
which indicates the setting screen.
2. Press C to display the DST setting screen.

Illumination
An LED (light-emitting diode) illuminates the face of the
watch for easy reading in the dark. The watch's auto light
switch illuminates the face automatically when you angle
the watch towards your face.
• The auto light switch must be turned on for it to operate.
• See "Illumination Precautions" for other important
information.
To illuminate the face of the watch
In the Timekeeping Mode (except when a setting screen
is on the display), press B to illuminate the face of the
watch for about one second.
• The above operation turns on illumination regardless of
the current auto light switch setting.
• The auto light switch operates in all modes (except
while a setting screen is displayed.)
About the Auto Light Switch
Turning on the auto light switch causes the face to illuminate, whenever you position
your wrist as described below in any mode. Note that this watch features an "Auto
LED Light," so the auto light switch operates only when available light is below a
certain level. It does not illuminate the face under bright light.
Moving the watch to a position that is parallel to the ground and then tilting it
towards you at more than 40 degrees causes illumination to turn on.
• Wear the watch on the outside of your wrist.

ground
Warning!
• Always make sure you are in a safe place whenever you are reading the face
of watch using the auto light switch. Be especially careful when running or
engaged in any other activity that can result in accident or injury. Also take
care that sudden illumination by the auto light switch does not startle or
distract others around you.
• When you are wearing the watch, make sure that its auto light switch is turned
off before riding on a bicycle, or operating a motorcycle or any other motor
vehicle. Sudden and unintended operation of the auto light switch can create a
distraction, which can result in a traffic accident and serious personal injury.
To turn the auto light switch on and off
In the Timekeeping Mode (except when a setting screen is on the display), hold
down B for about three seconds to toggle the auto light switch on and off.
• Turning on the auto light switch will cause the watch to beep. The "ON" (ON)
indicator will appear and the light will turn on for 1.5 seconds.
• Turning off the auto light switch will cause the watch to beep. The "OFF" (OF)
indicator will appear for 1.5 seconds. The light will not turn on.
• In order to protect against running down the battery, the auto light switch
automatically turns off approximately six hours after you turn it on.
