Basic Operations
This section provides an overview of the watch
and explains operations that are common to
all modes.
Important!
●
This watch is not a special-purpose
measuring instrument.
Measurement function readings are
intended for general reference only.
●
Whenever using the Digital
Compass of this watch for serious
trekking,
activities, be sure to always take
along another compass to confirm
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 better accuracy.
l
●
The watch’s Altimeter Mode
calculates and displays relative
altitude based on barometric
pressure readings produced by its
pressure sensor. Because of this,
altitude values displayed by the
watch may be different from your
actual elevation and/or sea level
elevation indicated for the area
where you are located. Regular
calibration in accordance with the
local altitude (elevation) indications
is recommended.
l
mountain climbing, or other
ー
Compass readings and
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.)

Selecting a Timekeeping Mode Digital Display Format
In the Timekeeping Mode, you can use the
operation
below to change the contents of the
digital displays.
Using the Crown
The watch’s crown is a screw-in (screw lock)
type. To use the crown, you first need to rotate
it towards you (leftwards) to loosen it.

it away from you as you push it in.
●
When pushing the crown back in,
take care not to apply too much
force.
●
Fast Forward/Fast Reverse
After pulling out the crown, rotating it quickly
succession in either direction will start a fast
in
forward or fast reverse operation. While a fast
forward operation is in progress, quickly
rotating the crown in succession again will
increase the speed even further.
●
The fast reverse operation speed is fixed
and cannot be changed.
●
Stopping Fast Forward/Fast Reverse
Rotate the crown in the direction opposite that
of the ongoing operation or press any button.
Note
●
If you do not perform any operation
for about two minutes after pulling
out the crown, crown operations will
automatically become disabled. If
that happens, push the crown back
in and then pull it out again.

Solar Charging
What is solar charging?
This watch runs on power supplied from a
rechargeable (secondary) battery that is
charged by a solar panel. The solar panel is
integrated into the face of the watch, and
power is generated whenever the face is
exposed to light.
Charging the Watch
When you are not wearing the watch, put it in
a location where it is exposed to bright light.
While you are wearing the watch, make sure
that its face (solar panel) is not blocked from
light by the sleeve of your clothing. Power
the
generation efficiency is reduced even when
the face of the watch is blocked only partially.
Checking the Charge Level
A display indicator shows the watch’s charge
level when you enter the Timekeeping Mode.

Important!
●
Depending on light intensity and
local conditions, the watch may
become hot to the touch when
exposed to light for charging. Take
care to avoid burn injury after
charging. Also, avoid charging the
watch under high-temperature
conditions like the ones described
below.

The display panel may become
black (or white, depending on the
LCD type) under very high
temperatures. This is temporary,
and the display will return to normal

Power Saving Function
Leaving the watch in a dark location for about
one hour between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6
a.m. will cause the second hand to stop, and
the
watch to enter Level 1 power saving. If the
watch is left in this condition for six or seven
days, all hands will stop at 12 o’clock and the
watch will enter Level 2 power saving.
Power Saving Level 1:
Second hand stops and digital displays go
blank to save power.
Power Saving Level 2:
All hands stop and the digital display goes
blank to save power. Only timekeeping
functions remain operational.
