IMPORTANT NOTE:
If you suspect a malfunction, first check the 0-position of the hands as outlined in the 0-positioning check procedure. If the hands and date do not move to their respective 0- positions, it will be necessary to set them for proper operation.
After a full recharge from complete power loss or if abnormal operation is noted, an ALL RESET and 0- POSITIONING CORRECTION will be needed.
The second hand on this watch moves in one-second increments to indicate that the charge level is sufficient for normal time keeping operation. If it is not moving in one-second increments, be sure to charge your watch fully as outlined in your Instruction Manual.
0-POSITIONING CHECK PROCEDURE
Pull the crown out one ‘click’.
Turn the crown so that either tip of the Mode hand is pointing to the Local Time mode (L-TM).
Push the crown back in one ‘click’ to the closed position next to the case.
Press the upper right button (A) for 10 or more seconds until the hands move to the 0-position stored in memory. Release the upper right button (A). The correct 0-position for each hand is as follows:
-Hour, Minute and Second hand pointing to ’12:00’ -24 Hour hand pointing to ‘24’
-Function hand pointing to ‘SUN’ -Date indicating ‘1’
If any of the hands do not indicate their respective 0-position, it will be necessary to perform the all reset and 0-positioning correction procedure.
Press the upper right button (A) to resume normal operation in the Local Time mode.
ALL RESET and 0-POSITIONING CORRECTION PROCEDURE
Pull the crown out one ‘click’.
Turn the crown so that either tip of the Mode hand is pointing to the Local Time mode (L-TM)

When the hands have stopped moving, pull the crown out two ‘clicks’.
Press the upper right (A) and lower right (B) buttons simultaneously for two to three seconds, then release. Following a confirmation tone, each of the hands performs a ‘demonstration’ in the order of the Function, Minute and Second hands to indicate that the ‘all reset’ of the movement has completed.
Press the upper right button (A). The Minute hand will move to indicate the Hour, Minute and 24 Hour hands can be set. Turn the crown clockwise or counterclockwise to set Hour, Minute hands to 12:00 and the Function hand to ‘24’ (the 24 Hour hand moves in conjunction with the Hour hand and cannot be set independently.)
