TROUBLESHOOTING
Watch Not Receiving the Time Signal
Reason for not being able to receive the Time Signal include:
-Watch is not placed nearby a window in order to receive the signal
-Being outside of USA, Germany, UK or Japan
-Incorrectly positioning your watch during signal reception. Go to “Watch Position for Radio Signal Reception” for details
-Being inside a Building Area
-Around Metal Objects blocking the Radio Signal
-Interference caused by being near a computer monitor or TV
Ensure that your watch is left by a window with the position described in accordance to the “Watch Position for Radio Signal Recep-
tion”. You may have to try different windows in the house to see which one is the best. You can test this using the Reception Status
Test described earlier. Please note that reception is always better at night. If your watch is unable to make contact with the radio
signal, it will continue to function in the same way as a standard watch. The time will then be corrected the next time your watch
receives the time signal.
Second hand not pointing at 12 or 6 o’clock when checking reception status
Your watch is a very delicate and precise instrument. Although uncommon, sometimes hard knocks or vibrations can cause the hands
to move irregularly, and therefore display the incorrect time, although the internal clock is keeping accurate time. You may notice this
if when checking for a reception status and the second hand does not pause at exactly the 12 or 6 (half second deviation is accept-
able). The 12 or 6 o’clock reference point has changed and the watch needs to be re-calibrated.
Procedure to calibrate the shifted second-hand
Step 1: Press S1 once while the watch runs normally
Step 2: While second-hand is pointing around 12 or 6 o’clock, press and holding S2 for more than 3 seconds until the sec
ond-hand pauses to another new position then release the button.
Step 3: The second-hand may stop on the following 3 positions namely A, B or C. Check and perform second-hand calibra
tion action according to A, B or C.
Remark
:
If you cannot calibrate the shifted second-hand successfully in one time, you need to repeat Step 1 to 4 once or several times until the
second-hand is calibrated.
A. If the second-hand stops between 12 to 6 o’clock
●
Press S1 (upper button) once at a time until the second-hand points exactly at 6 o’clock position
●
Press S2 (middle button) once hardly to con
fi
rm.
B. If the second-hand stops between 6 to 12 o’clock
●
Press S2 (middle button) once hardly and wait for the watch to resume running.
●
After the watch resume running, repeat Step 1 to 3.
C. If the second-hand stops exactly at 6 o’clock
●
Just press S2 (middle button) once hardly and wait for the watch to resume running.
Remark:
The watch stops for a while after second-hand calibration, wait until the watch resume running. Then you should press S1 (upper
button) once to see its calibrated position. If the second-hand pauses exactly at 12 or 6 o’clock, the calibration is successfully. If not,
repeat Step1 to 3 until the second-hand is calibrated.
Watch stop at 12 o’clock
Battery

nished. Need to replace a new battery. Go to “Battery Change” for details.
Second Hand Running Non-Stop
When battery is low, the Second Hand starts to run fast. If this happens then change the battery of the watch after it stops. (Never
replace the battery while the second hand is running. Only replace the battery when the watch stops at 12 o’clock)
