Warning !

Things to check before using the watch

1. Hold downD for about two seconds to enter the Timekeeping Mode, and then observe the movement of the second hand.

Is the second hand moving smoothly at one-second intervals?

Is the second hand moving at two-second intervals or is it stopped completely?

YES

Power is low. Charge the watch by placing it in a location where it is exposed to light. For details, see “Charging the Watch” (page E-9).

2. Check the Home City and the daylight saving time (DST) setting.

Use the procedure under “To conﬁ gure Home City settings” (page E-20) to conﬁ gure your Home City and daylight saving time settings.

Important!

Proper World Time Mode data depends on a correct Home City selection, and time and date settings in the Timekeeping Mode. Take care that these settings are conﬁ gured correctly.

The watch is charged sufficiently. For details about charging, see “Charging the Watch” (page E-9).

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 down D 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.

• Illumination, tones, and sensor operations are disabled and the hands of the watch stop 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-78).

• 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

light to charge its battery.

Taking Direction Readings

The Compass Mode uses the watch’s direction sensor to detect magnetic north. The second hand will indicate magnetic north and the digital display shows one of 16 directions and an angle value.

North indicated by

position

second hand

Angle value (in degrees)

• If the second hand is indicating 12 o’clock (north), the digital display will show an upwards pointing

white on black arrow.

•

The small scale in the center of the watch face is a direction scale (page E-25). You can use the direction scale to get an idea of how many degrees the 12 o’clock position of the watch is (clockwise) 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-34).

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-27

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.

To perform northerly calibration

Important!

If you want to perform both northerly and bidirectional calibration, perform bidirectional calibration ﬁ rst, and then perform northerly calibration. This is necessary because bidirectional calibration cancels any existing northerly calibration setting.

3. Place the watch on a level surface, and position it so that its 12 o’clock position points north (as

measured with another compass).

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.

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.
