Important!
• Allowing the watch to become very hot can cause its liquid crystal display to black out. The
appearance of the LCD should become normal again when the watch returns to a lower temperature.
• Turn on the watch’s Power Saving function (page E-14) and keep it in an area normally exposed to
bright light when storing it for long periods. This helps to ensure that power does not run down.
• Storing the watch for long periods in an area where there is no light or wearing it in such a way that it is
blocked from exposure to light can cause power to run down. Expose the watch to bright light
whenever possible.
Charging the Watch
The face of the watch is a solar cell that generates power from light. The generated power charges a
built-in rechargeable battery, which powers watch operations. The watch charges whenever it is exposed
to light.
Charging Guide
Whenever you are not wearing the
watch, leave it in a location where it
is exposed to light.
• Best charging performance is
achieved by exposing the watch to
the strongest light available.
Warning!
Leaving the watch in bright light for charging can cause it to become quite hot.
Take care when handling the watch to avoid burn injury. The watch can become particularly hot
when exposed to the following conditions for long periods.
• On the dashboard of a car parked in direct sunlight
• Too close to an incandescent lamp
• Under direct sunlight
Power Levels
You can check the current battery power level by viewing the battery power indicator that appears on the
digital display when you enter the Timekeeping Mode.
• To enter the Timekeeping Mode from any other mode, hold downD for about two seconds.

• The fl ashing L indicator at Level 3 tells you that battery power is very low, and that exposure to bright
light for charging is required as soon as possible.
• At Level 5, all functions are disabled and settings return to their initial factory defaults. Once the battery
reaches Level 2 ( M) after falling to Level 5, reconfi gure the current time, date, and other settings.
• Display indicators reappear as soon as the battery is charged from Level 5 to Level 2 ( M).
• Leaving the watch exposed to direct sunlight or some other very strong light source can cause the
battery power indicator to show a reading temporarily that is higher than the actual battery level. The
correct battery level should be indicated after a few minutes.
• All data stored in memory is deleted, and the current time and all other settings return to their initial
factory defaults whenever battery power drops to Level 5 and when you have the battery replaced.
Charging Required Indication (by second hand)
When battery power reaches Level 3, the second hand of the watch will
jump at 2-second intervals in the Timekeeping Mode to let you know that
charging is required.
Power Recovery Mode
• Repeated sensor measurement, illumination, or use of tones over a short period of time may cause the
watch to enter a power recovery mode, which is indicated by a recovery indicator ( R) to fl ash on the
digital display. The watch will remain in the power recovery mode until battery power recovers.
E-12
Power Saving
Power Saving enters a sleep state automatically whenever the watch is left for a certain period in an area
where it is dark. The table below shows how watch functions are affected by Power Saving.
• There actually are two sleep state levels: “display sleep” and “function sleep”.
• With this watch, the Power Saving function cannot be disabled.
Elapsed Time in Dark Hands and Display Operation
60 to 70 minutes (display sleep)
6 or 7 days (function sleep)
• The watch will not enter a sleep state between 6:00 AM and 9:59 PM. If the watch is already in a sleep
state when 6:00 AM arrives, however, it will remain in the sleep state.
• You will not be able to enter the Compass, Barometer/Thermometer, Altimeter, Stopwatch, or
Countdown Timer Mode while the watch is in a sleep state.
To recover from the sleep state
Move the watch to a well-lit area, press any button, or angle the watch towards your face for reading (page
E-91).

• Illumination, tones, and sensor operations are disabled and the hands of the watch stop until battery
power recovers.
• Battery power takes about 15 minutes to recover. The recovery indicator ( R) will stop fl ashing and
normal watch operation will be restored when battery recovery is complete.
• Frequent fl ashing of the recovery indicator ( R) indicates that battery power is low. Expose the watch to

Radio Controlled Atomic Timekeeping
This watch receives a time calibration signal and updates its time setting accordingly. However, when
using the watch outside of areas covered by time calibration signals, you will have to adjust the settings
manually as required. See “Confi guring Current Time and Date Settings Manually” (page E-31) for more
information.
This section explains how the watch updates its time settings when the city code selected as the Home
City is in Japan, North America, Europe, or China, and is one that supports time calibration signal
reception.
If your Home City Code setting is this:
LONDON (LON), PARIS (PAR), ATHENS (ATH) Anthorn (England), Mainfl ingen (Germany)
HONG KONG (HKG) Shangqiu City (China)
TOKYO (TYO) Fukushima (Japan), Fukuoka/Saga (Japan)

• Even when the watch is within range of a transmitter, signal reception may be impossible due to the
effects of geographic contours, structures, weather, the time of year, the time of day, radio interference,
etc. The signal becomes weaker at distances of approximately 500 kilometers, which means that the
infl uence of the conditions listed above becomes even greater.
• Signal reception may not be possible at the distances noted below during certain times of the year or
day. Radio interference may also cause problems with reception.

from the northerly indication of the second hand. The direction scale is marked in 10-degree increments.
Some watch models may not have a direction scale.
• Note that taking a measurement while the watch is not horizontal (in relation to the horizon) can result in
large measurement error.
•
You can calibrate the bearing sensor if you suspect the direction reading is incorrect.
• Any ongoing direction measurement operation is paused temporarily while the watch is performing an
alert operation (daily alarm, Hourly Time Signal, countdown timer alarm) or while illumination is turned
on (by pressingL). The measurement operation resumes for its remaining duration after the operation
that caused it to pause is fi nished.
• For precautions that should be observed when using the Compass Mode, see “Compass Precautions”
(page E-43).
Calibrating the Bearing Sensor
You should calibrate the bearing sensor whenever you feel that the direction readings being produced by
the watch are off. There are three different calibration methods available: magnetic declination correction,
bidirectional calibration, and northerly calibration.
Magnetic Declination Correction
•
With magnetic declination correction, you input a magnetic declination angle (difference between
magnetic north and true north), which allows the watch to indicate true north. You can perform this
procedure when the magnetic declination angle is indicated on the map you are using. Note that you can
input the declination angle in whole degree units only, so you may need to round off the value specifi ed
on the map. If your map indicates the declination angle as 7.4°, you should input 7°. In the case of 7.6°
input 8°, for 7.5° you can input 7° or 8°.
E-36
• To return the ma gnetic declin ation to its ini tial factor y default set ting, press A and C at the same
time. This will cause OFF to appe ar on the digit al display. After ab out one sec ond, the magne tic
declinatio n will change to 0 d egrees.
• The ill ustration o n page E-37 sho ws declinati on angle direct ion value and th e angle value you s hould
select whe n a map shows a mag netic declin ation of “We st 1°”.
’
clock position of the watch is (clockwise)
3. When the setting is the way you want, pressE to exit the setting screen.
Precautions about bidirectional calibration
• You can use any two opposing directions for bidirectional calibration. You must, however, make sure
that they are 180 degrees opposite each other. Remember that if you perform the procedure
incorrectly, you will get wrong bearing sensor readings.
• Do not move the watch while calibration of either direction is in progress.
• You should perform bidirectional calibration in an environment that is the same as that where you plan
to be taking direction readings. If you plan to take direction readings in an open fi eld, for example,
calibrate in an open fi eld.
To perform bidirectional calibration
E-38
1. In the Compass Mode, hold downE until each of the following steps
occurs.
• Hold SE T appears on the digital display. ➝ Magnetic declination
settings fl ash.
• This is the setting screen.
2. PressD to display the bidirectional calibration screen.
• At this time, the digital display will show -1 - to indicate that the watch
is ready to calib rate the fi rst direct ion.
Bidirectional Calibration and Northerly Calibration
•
Bidirectional calibration and northerly calibration calibrate the accuracy of the bearing sensor in relation
to magnetic north. Use bidirectional calibration when you want to take readings within an area exposed
to magnetic force. This type of calibration should be used if the watch becomes magnetized for any
reason. With northerly calibration, you “teach” the watch which way is north (which you have to determine
with another compass or some other means).
Important!
The more correctly you perform bidirectional calibration, the better the accuracy of the bearing sensor
readouts. You should perform bidirectional calibration whenever you change environments where you
use the bearing sensor, and whenever you feel that the bearing sensor is producing incorrect readings.

Using the Compass While Mountain Climbing or Hiking
This section provides two practical applications for using the watch’s built-in compass.
• Setting a map and fi nding your current location
Having an idea of your current location is important when mountain climbing or hiking. To do this, you
need to “set the map”, which means to align the map so the directions indicated on it are aligned with
the actual directions of your location. Basically what you are doing is aligning north on the map with
north as indicated by the watch.
• Finding the bearing to an objective

Compass Precautions
This watch features a built-in magnetic bearing sensor that detects terrestrial magnetism. This means that
north indicated by this watch is magnetic north, which is somewhat different from true polar north. The
magnetic north pole is located in northern Canada, while the magnetic South Pole is in southern Australia.
Note that the difference between magnetic north and true north as measured with all magnetic compasses
tends to be greater as one gets closer to either of the magnetic poles. You should also remember that
some maps indicate true north (instead of magnetic north), and so you should make allowances when
using such maps with this watch.
Location
• Taking a direction reading when you are near a source of strong magnetism can cause large errors in
readings. Because of this, you should avoid taking direction readings while in the vicinity of the
following types of objects: permanent magnets (magnetic necklaces, etc.), concentrations of metal
(metal doors, lockers, etc.), high tension wires, aerial wires, household appliances (TVs, personal
computers, washing machines, freezers, etc.).
• Accurate direction readings are impossible while in a train, boat, air plane, etc.
• Accurate readings are also impossible indoors, especially inside ferroconcrete structures. This is
because the metal framework of such structures picks up magnetism from appliances, etc.
Storage
• The precision of the bearing sensor may deteriorate if the watch becomes magnetized. Because of
this, you should store the watch away from magnets or any other sources of strong magnetism,
including: permanent magnets (magnetic necklaces, etc.) and household appliances (TVs, personal
computers, washing machines, freezers, etc.).
• Whenever you suspect that the watch may have become magnetized, perform the procedure under “To
perform bidirectional calibration” (page E-38).

Pressure Sensor and Temperature Sensor Calibration
The pressure sensor and temperature sensor built into the watch are calibrated at the factory and normally
require no further adjustment. If you notice serious errors in the pressure readings and temperature
readings produced by the watch, you can calibrate a sensor to the reading of another device to correct the
errors.
Important!
• Incorrectly calibrating the pressure sensor can result in incorrect readings. Before changing the
calibration value, make sure the readings you are using are reliable and accurate.
• Incorrectly calibrating the temperature sensor can result in incorrect readings.
Carefully read the following before doing anything.
–
Compare the readings produced by the watch with those of another reliable and accurate thermometer.
– If adjustment is required, remove the watch from your wrist and wait for 20 or 30 minutes to give the
temperature of the watch time to stabilize.
E-49
Barometer and Thermometer Precautions
• The pressure sensor built into this watch measures changes in air pressure, which you can then apply
to your own weather predictions. It is not intended for use as a precision instrument in offi cial weather
prediction or reporting applications.
• Sudden temperature changes can affect pressure sensor readings.
• Temperature measurements are affected by your body temperature (while you are wearing the watch),
direct sunlight, and moisture. To achieve a more accurate temperature measurement, remove the
watch from your wrist, place it in a well ventilated location out of direct sunlight, and wipe all moisture
from the case. It takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes for the case of the watch to reach the actual
surrounding temperature.
E-50
Taking Altitude Readings
The watch displays altitude values based on air pressure readings taken by a built-in pressure sensor.
How the Altimeter Measures Altitude
The altimeter can measure altitude based on its own preset values (initial default method) or using a
reference altitude specifi ed by you.
When you measure altitude based on preset values
Data produced by the watch’s barometric pressure sensor is converted to approximate altitude based on
ISA (International Standard Atmosphere) conversion values stored in watch memory.
When you measure altitude using a reference altitude specifi ed by you
After you specify a reference altitude, the watch uses that value to convert
barometric pressure readings to altitude (page E-62).
• When mountain climbing, you can specify a reference altitude value in
accordance with a marker along the way or altitude information from a
map. After that, the altitude readings produced by the watch will be more
accurate than they would without a reference altitude value.

•
Normally, displayed altitude values are based on the watch’s preset conversion values. You also can
specify a reference altitude value, if you want. See “Specifying a Reference Altitude Value” (page E-61).
• You can change the unit for displayed altitude values to either meters (m) or feet (ft). See “To specify
temperature, barometric pressure, and altitude units” (page E-69).
• The vertical axis of the graph represents altitude, and each dot stands
for 10 meters (40 feet).
• The horizontal axis represents time. For the altitude readings taken
during the fi rst three minutes after you start an altimeter measurement
operation, each dot represents fi ve seconds. After that, each dot
represents two minutes (under initial default settings).
• An out of range reading or a measurement error will cause the column
of dots for that reading to be blank (skipped).

Confi guring the Altitude Differential Scale
You can select either of the two altitude differential scale options described below.
To specify this: Select this setting:
Scale step: 5 meters (20 feet) per second mark
Scale range: ±100 meters (± 400 feet)
Scale step: 50 meters (200 feet) per second mark
Scale range: ±1000 meters (± 4000 feet)
• Altitude differential is always calculated in meters, even when feet is selected as the altitude
measurement unit.
In the Altimeter Mode, the part of the watch’s dial from 11 o’clock to 7
o’clock acts as an altitude differential scale. The second hand points to a
place on the scale that indicates the difference between the altitude at a
start point set by you and the altitude at your current location. The altitude
differential indication is updated each time the watch takes an altitude
reading.
You can confi gure the watch so each second mark in the altitude
differential scale stands for 5 meters (20 feet) or 50 meters (200 feet).
See “Confi guring the Altitude Differential Scale” (page E-58) for
information about how to confi gure this setting.

Specifying a Reference Altitude Value
The altitude readings produced by this watch are subject to error caused by changes in air pressure.
Because of this, we recommend that you update the reference altitude value whenever one is available
during your climb. After you specify a reference altitude value, the watch adjusts its air-pressure-to-altitude
conversion calculation accordingly.
Manual Save Records
Any time you perform the procedure below in the Altimeter Mode, the watch will create and store a record
with the currently displayed altitude reading, along with the date and time the reading was taken. There is
enough memory to store up to 14 manual save records, which are numbered from

current
values for a new Altimeter Mode auto measurement session are the values that currently are in memory.
Each time you complete an Altimeter Mode auto measurement session by returning to the Timekeeping
Mode, the cumulative ascent value of the current session (920 meters in the above example) is added
to the session’s starting
measurement session (–820 meters in the above example) is added to the session’s starting
value.
• Note that any change in elevation when ascending that is less than 15 meters (49 feet) is not added to
the cumulative ascent value for the current Altimeter Mode auto measurement session. Also, any
change in elevation when descending that is less than –15 meters (–49 feet) is not added to the
cumulative descent value for the current Altimeter Mode auto measurement session.
Note
• The high altitude, low altitude, cumulative ascent, and cumulative descent values are retained in
memory when you exit the Altimeter Mode. To clear values, perform the procedure under “To delete a
single altitude record” (page E-74) or “To delete all altitude records” (page E-74).
• Note that the following conditions will prevent you from obtaining accurate readings:

Altimeter Precautions
• This watch estimates altitude based on air pressure. This means that altitude readings for the same
location may vary if air pressure changes.
• The semiconductor pressure sensor used by the watch for altitude measurements is also affected by
temperature. When taking altitude measurements, do not subject the watch to temperature changes.
• Do not rely upon this watch for altitude measurements or perform button operations while sky diving,
hang gliding, or paragliding, while riding a gyrocopter, glider, or any other aircraft, or while engaging in
any other activity where there is the chance of sudden altitude changes.
• Do not use this watch for measuring altitude in applications that demand professional or industrial level
precision.
• Remember that the air inside of a commercial aircraft is pressurized. Because of this, the readings
produced by this watch will not match the altitude readings announced or indicated the fl ight crew.

Precautions Concerning Simultaneous Measurement of Altitude and Temperature
Though you can perform altitude and temperature measurements at the same time, you should remember
that each of these measurements requires different conditions for best results. With temperature
measurement, it is best to remove the watch from your wrist in order to eliminate the effects of body heat.
In the case of altitude measurement, on the other hand, it is better to leave the watch on your wrist,
because doing so keeps the watch at a constant temperature, which contributes to more accurate altitude
measurements.
• To give altitude measurement priority, leave the watch on your wrist or in any other location where the
temperature of the watch is kept constant.
• To give temperature measurement priority, remove the watch from your wrist and allow it to hang freely
from your bag or in another location where it is not exposed to direct sunlight. Note that removing the
watch from your wrist can affect pressure sensor readings momentarily.

perform the signal receive operation. This watch performs an auto correction procedure to ensure that the
hands are always in the correct positions.
• Auto correction is performed only while the watch is in the Timekeeping Mode. Auto correction is not
performed if the watch is in the Timekeeping Mode while a Countdown Timer Mode operation is in
progress.
• Each hour, the watch performs automatic correction of the hand positions from –55 minutes to +5
minutes.
• You also can trigger auto correction of hand home positions manually, if you want. See “To trigger auto
correction of hand home positions” (page E-87) for more information.
• Auto correction of hand home positions can take up to three and a half minutes to complete.
• If hand positions are off by one hour or more, correct them using the procedure under “To trigger auto
correction of hand home positions” (page E-87) or “Adjusting Home Positions Manually” (page E-88).
Note
• If your current World Time City supports time calibration signal reception, making it your Home City
enables calibration signal reception for that city.
To trigger auto correction of hand home positions
• Perform the following procedure when the time setting is off.
1. UseD to enter the Hand Home Position Adjustment Mode (page
E-24).
• The di gital display wi ll show the cur rent Timekee ping Mode ti me. You
can check the hand positions by comparing the digital time with

Auto light switch precautions
• Wearing the watch on the inside of your wrist, movement of your arm, or vibration of your arm can
cause frequent activation of the auto light switch and illumination. To avoid running down the battery,
turn off the auto light switch whenever engaging in activities that might cause frequent illumination.
• Note that wearing the watch under your sleeve while the auto light switch is turned on can cause
frequent illumination and can run down the battery.
• Illumination may not turn on if the face of the watch is more than 15 degrees above
or below parallel. Make sure that the back of your hand is parallel to the ground.
• Illumination turns off after the preset illumination duration (page E-91), even if you
keep the watch pointed towards your face.
• Static electricity or magnetic force can interfere with proper operation of the auto
light switch. If illumination does not turn on, try moving the watch back to the
starting position (parallel with the ground) and then tilt it back towards your face
again. If this does not work, drop your arm all the way down so it hangs at your
side, and then bring it back up again.
• You may notice a very faint clicking sound coming from the watch when it is shaken
back and forth. This sound is caused by mechanical operation of the auto light
switch, and does not indicate a problem with the watch.

If you are using the watch in an area where time calibration signal reception is possible, see “To confi gure
Home City settings” (page E-28).
If you are using in the watch in an area where time calibration signal reception is not possible, you may
need to change your Home City’s standard time/daylight saving time (DST) setting manually. Use the
procedure under “To change the current time and date settings manually” (page E-31) to change the
standard time/daylight saving time (DST) setting.
Hand Home Position Adjustment
There is more than one hour difference between the time indicated by the hands and the time on
■
the digital display.
In the Timekeeping Mode, the watch performs automatic correction of the hand position error from −55
minutes to +5 minutes, once each hour.
If the displayed time and the time indicated by the hands do not match, it could mean that the hand home
positions are off. Use the Hand Home Position Adjustment Mode (page E-86) to adjust them.

Magnetism generated by nearby high-tension wires is interfering with detection of terrestrial magnetism.
Move away from the high-tension wires and try again.
Why am I having problems taking direction readings indoors?
■
A TV, personal computer, speakers, or some other object is interfering with terrestrial magnetism
readings. Move away from the object causing the interference or take the direction reading outdoors.
Indoor direction readings are particularly diffi cult inside ferro-concrete structures. Remember that you will
not be able to take direction readings inside of trains, airplanes, etc.
