About This Manual
Depending on the model of your watch, display text appears either as
dark fi gures on a light background, or light fi gures on a dark background. All examples in this manual are shown using dark fi gures on a light background.
Button operations are indicated using the letters shown in the
illustration.
Note that the product illustrations in this manual are intended for
reference only, and so the actual product may appear somewhat different than depicted by an illustration.
Important!
Whenever you use the digital compass of this watch for serious trekking, mountain climbing, or other
activities, always be sure to take along another compass to confi rm readings. If the readings produced by the digital compass of this watch are different from those of the other compass, perform bidirectional calibration of the digital compass to ensure more accurate readings.
Direction readings and digital compass calibration will not be possible if the watch is in the vicinity of a
permanent magnet (magnetic accessory, etc.), metal objects, high-voltage wires, aerial wires, or electrical household appliances (TV, computer, cellphone, etc.)
Things to check before using the watch
1. Check the Home City and the daylight saving time (DST) setting.
Use the procedure under “To confi gure Home City settings” (page E-13) to confi gure your Home City and daylight saving time settings.
Important!
Proper World Time Mode data depends on correct Home City, time, and date settings in the Timekeeping Mode. Make sure you confi gure these settings correctly.
2. Set the current time.
See “Confi guring Current Time and Date Settings” (page E-15).
The watch is now ready for use.

Using the Digital Compass
You can use the Digital Compass Mode to determine the direction of north, and to check your bearing to a destination.
For information about what you can do to improve digital compass reading accuracy, see “Calibrating
the Bearing Sensor” (page E-23) and “Digital Compass Precautions” (page E-31).
To perform a digital compass operation
1. Place the watch on a fl at surface. If you are wearing the watch, make sure that your wrist is horizontal
(in relation to the horizon).
2. Point the 12 o’clock position of the watch in the direction you want to check.
3. In any mode (except a setting mode), press C to perform a digital compass operation.
This will cause the mode dial hand to move to COMPASS.

4. To return to the mode you were in immediately before entering the Digital Compass Mode, press D. To enter the Timekeeping Mode, hold down D for at least two seconds.
Any ongoing digital compass 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 pressingB). The digital compass operation resumes for its remaining duration after the operation that caused it to pause is fi nished.
See “Digital Compass Precautions” (page E-31) for important information about taking direction readings.
The direction indicated by the Digital Compass is magnetic north.
You can use Magnetic Declination Correction to confi gure the watch to indicate true north, if you want.
For details, see “Magnetic Declination Correction” below, “To perform magnetic declination correction” (page E-26), and “Magnetic North and True North” (page E-31).
Calibrating the Bearing Sensor
You should calibrate the bearing sensor whenever you feel that the direction readings being produced by the watch are off. You can use any one of two different bearing sensor calibration methods: bidirectional calibration or magnetic declination correction.
Bidirectional Calibration
Bidirectional calibration calibrates 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.
Important!
To ensure correct direction readings by the digital compass, be sure to perform bidirectional calibration
before using it. The digital compass may produce incorrect direction readings if you do not perform bidirectional calibration.

Operation Guide 5415
Magnetic Declination Correction
With magnetic declination correction, you select a declination angle direction and 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.
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
1. In the Digital Compass Mode, hold down A.
The secon d hand will move to 12 o’cloc k, indicati ng the
bidirectional calibration mode.
At this time the lower display will show an upward pointing arrow

Example: Advancing to an objective while monitoring your bearing
Even if you lose sight of your objective, you can use a map to store the required bearing in bearing memory and refer to the memorized information to advance to your objective.
1. Set the map.
For inform ation abo ut how to set a map, s ee “Posit ioning a map i n accordan ce with actua l
surroundings (setting a map)” below.
2. Place the watch on the map at your current location, and point 12 o’clock at your desired objective on the map.
3. Press E to store the direction to your objective in bearing memory. Now you can advance towards your objective while observing the stored direction on the watch display.
Important!
As you progress, the direction to your bearing will change, so you need to keep updating the
information in bearing memory.
Positioning a map in accordance with actual surroundings (setting a map)
You can align a map with the northerly direction indicated by the watch, and then compare what is shown on the map with your actual surroundings. This is helpful for checking your current location and the location of your objective. This process is called “setting a map”.
When setting a map, be sure to align the watch with true north. See “Magnetic North and True North”
(page E-31) and “Magnetic Declination Correction” (page E-24).

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 readings are also impossible indoors, especially inside ferroconcrete structures. This is
because the metal framework of such structures picks up magnetism from appliances, etc.
Accurate direction readings are impossible while in a train, boat, air plane, etc.
The northerly direction can be expressed either as magnetic north or true north, which are different from each other. Also, it is important to keep in mind that magnetic north moves over time.
Magnetic north is the north that is indicated by the needle of a compass.
True north, which is the location of the North Pole of the Earth’s axis, is the
north that is normally indicated on maps.
The difference between magnetic north and true north is called the
“declination”. The closer you get to the North Pole, the greater the declination angle.

Operation Guide 5415
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.), concentrations of metal (metal doors, lockers, 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-24).
E-32
Display Units
You can select either Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F) for the displayed temperature value. See “To specify the temperature unit” (page E-36).
Temperature Sensor Calibration
The temperature sensor built into the watch is calibrated at the factory and normally requires no further adjustment. If you notice serious errors in the temperature readings produced by the watch, you can calibrate the sensor to correct the errors.
Important!
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.
Taking Temperature Readings
This watch uses a temperature sensor to measure temperature.
To take temperature readings
TemperatureTemperature
Temperature
Temperature is displayed in units of 0.1°C (or 0.2°F).
The displayed temperature value changes to
range of –10.0°C to 60.0°C (14.0°F to 140.0°F). The temperature value will reappear as soon as the measured temperature is within the allowable range.

About the Auto Light Switch
While the Auto Light Switch is enabled, illumination will turn on whenever you position your wrist as described below in any mode.
Moving the watch to a position that is parallel to the ground and then tilting it towards you more than 40 degrees causes illumination to turn on.
Warning!
Always make sure you are in a safe place whenever you are reading the display of the watch
using the auto light switch. Be especially careful when running or engaged in any other activity that can result in accident or injury. Also take care that sudden illumination by the auto light switch does not startle or distract others around you.
When you are wearing the watch, make sure that its auto light switch is turned off before riding
on a bicycle or operating a motorcycle or any other motor vehicle. Sudden and unintended operation of the auto light switch can create a distraction, which can result in a traffi c accident and serious personal injury.
E-48
Auto light switch precautions
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-47), 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.
