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-15) 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-17).
The watch is now ready for use.

Digital Compass Readings
After the fi rst reading is obtained, the watch will continue to take digital compass readings automatically
for about one minute. After readings are complete, the watch will return to the mode you were in immediately before entering the Digital Compass Mode.
Pressing C while a digital compass (direction reading) operation is in progress will restart a
one-minute digital compass operation.
Auto light is disabled while a Digital Compass reading operation is in progress.

The margin of error for the angle value and the direction indicator is ±15 degrees while the watch is
horizontal (in relation to the horizon). If the indicated direction is northwest (NW) and 315 degrees, for example, the actual direction can be anywhere from 300 to 330 degrees.
Note that performing a digital compass operation while the watch is not horizontal (in relation to the
horizon) can result in large error.
You can calibrate the bearing sensor if you suspect the direction reading is incorrect.
E-24
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.

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-32) 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-28), and “Magnetic North and True North” (page E-32).
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.

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, se e “Positi oning a map in a ccordance w ith actual
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-32) and “Magnetic Declination Correction” (page E-26).

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.
E-32
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.
Taking Temperature Readings
This watch uses a temperature sensor to measure temperature.
To take temperature readings

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-26).
E-33
Display Units
You can select either Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F) for the displayed temperature value. See “To specify the temperature unit” (page E-37).
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.
E-34
To calibrate the temperature sensor
1. Take a reading with another measurement device to determine the exact current temperature.
2. With the watch in the Timekeeping Mode, press E to enter the Thermometer Mode.
3. Hold down A for about two seconds until the temperature reading disappears from the display. ReleaseA at this time, which will cause the temperature reading to fl ash, which indicates the setting mode.
Thermometer Precautions
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-36
4. Use E (+) and B (−) to calibrate the temperature value with the reading of another instrument.
Each press of a bu tton cha nges the temp erature value in u nits of
0.1°C (0.2°F).
To return the temperat ure to its uncal ibrated value (OFF set ting),
press E and B at the same ti me.
Holding do wn E or B scrolls the se tting at high s peed.
5. Press A to complete calibration and restart the temperature reading operation.
Checking the Tide Level, Moon Phase, and Moon Age (Tide/Moon)
You can use the watch to check the current tide level, Moon phase, and Moon age.
The above information is displayed for the currently selected Home Time City. You can also check
information for another city by changing to a different Home City (page E-15).
Note that the tide and Moon information displayed by this watch is approximate and is intended as
general information only. Never try to use it for marine navigation or any other purposes requiring accurate measurements.

Moon Phases and Moon Age
The Moon goes through a regular 29.53-day cycle. During each cycle, the Moon appears to wax and wane as the relative positioning of the Earth, Moon, and Sun changes. The greater the angular distance between the Moon and the Sun,* the more we see illuminated.
* The angle to the Moon in relation to the direction at which the Sun is visible from the Earth.
See “Northern Hemisphere View or Southern Hemisphere View Moon Phase” (page E-49).
Your watch shows the Moon phase and Moon age at noon of a date, regardless of the time displayed
by the watch.
The Moon phase is based on the northern hemisphere view, with the Moon to the south. Note that the
Moon phase form will be reversed in the case of the southern hemisphere view (Moon to the north) or in the vicinity of the equator.
The margin for error of the Moon age is ±1 day.
The Moon Phase and Moon Age of the watch’s Home City are shown, even if the watch is in the World
Time Mode.
If Moon Graph indication is not correct, check the Timekeeping Mode time and date settings, and the
Home City setting.

About auto light
While auto light 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 auto light. 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 auto light does not startle or distract others around you.
When you are wearing the watch, make sure that auto light is disabled before riding on a bicycle
or operating a motorcycle or any other motor vehicle. Sudden and unintended operation of auto light can create a distraction, which can result in a traffi c accident and serious personal injury.

Move away from any potential source of strong magnetism and try
taking a reading again.
If abnormal magnetism is detected again when you retry, it could mean
that the watch itself has become magnetized. If this happens, continue to keep away from the source of strong magnetism, perform bidirectional calibration, and then try taking a reading again. For more information, refer to “To perform bidirectional calibration” (page E-26) and “Location” (page E-32).

Direction and Temperature Readings
The temperature unit setting won’t change.
The temperature unit setting is always Celsius (°C) whenever this case, the setting cannot be changed.
“ERR” appears while a sensor operation is in progress.
Subjecting the watch to strong impact can cause sensor malfunction or improper contact of internal circuitry. When this happens, disabled.
ERR
If
appears while a measurement operation is being performed in a sensor mode, restart the measurement. If sensor.
ERR
If
keeps appearing during measurement, it could mean there is a problem with the applicable sensor.
Incorrect direction readings.
Incorrect bidirectional calibration. Perform bidirectional calibration (page E-26).
Nearby source of strong magnetism, such as a household appliance, a large steel bridge, a steel
beam, overhead wires, etc., or an attempt to perform direction measurement on a train, boat, etc. Move away from large metal objects and try again.
Different results produced by direction readings taken at the same location.
Magnetism generated by nearby high-tension wires is interfering with detection of terrestrial magnetism. Move away from the high-tension wires and try again.
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.
