Hand

Movement

The seconds hand moves

at two-second intervals.

The energy depletion forewarning

function is activated. (P.36)

If the seconds hand moves at two- or

five-second intervals while you wear

the watch everyday, the watch is in a

condition where it cannot acquire

sufficient light, for instance, the watch

is concealed under a long sleeve shirt.

Fully charge the watch so that the

seconds hand may move at one-second

intervals.

Be careful not to conceal the watch

under a sleeve, etc., while wearing it.

When taking off the watch, place it in as

bright a location as possible.

P.34

The seconds hand moves

at five-second intervals.

The stopped seconds

hand pointing to the

15-second position

started operating.

The power save function has been

activated. (P.37)

When the watch is not exposed to

adequate light for a certain period of

time, the power save function to limit

energy consumption is automatically

activated.

Wait until the current time is displayed.

No operation is needed. (This is not a

malfunction.)

The power save function has been

activated. (P.37)

When the watch is not exposed to

adequate light for a certain period of

time, the power save function to limit

energy consumption is automatically

activated.

1. Fully charge the watch so that

the seconds hand may move at

one-second intervals.

2. After that, if the watch displays

the incorrect time, receive a

radio wave as needed.

P.17,

P.34

The watch hands advance

rapidly unless a button is

pressed. After the rapid

advancement is

completed, the watch

resumes its normal

movement.

The power save function has been

activated. (P.37)

The automatic hand position alignment

function was activated. (P.64)

When the hand positions deviate to

display incorrect time as a result of

external influences, etc., the watch

automatically corrects the hand

misalignment by the automatic hand

position alignment function.

No operation is needed. (This is not a

malfunction.)

Reception

of a radio

signal

The watch is unable to

receive a radio signal.
The reception results have

failed and the seconds

hand points to N (the watch

does not receive a radio

signal).

The watch was moved while it was

receiving a radio signal.

(It takes 12 minutes at the longest to

receive a radio signal successfully.)

Do not move the watch while it is

receiving a radio signal.

Because it takes time to receive a radio

signal successfully, leave the watch

untouched for 12 minutes at the longest.

P.23,

P.57

The watch was left where the radio

signal was weak or where it was unable

to receive a radio signal. (P.24)

Place the watch where it is able to easily

receive a radio signal.

P.23

Transmitting stations may have

stopped transmitting radio signals for

some reason. (Transmission stop)

Check the website of each transmitting

station for further information

concerning a transmission stop.

Attempt to receive a radio signal again

after a while.

P.25

The time difference is set to regions

other than the radio signal reception

ranges.

1. Check the set time difference and

set the correct time difference.

2. When the watch is not displaying the

precise time, receive a radio signal

again if necessary.
