Important Altimeter and Compass Information!

• The watch’s Altimeter Mode calculates and displays relative altitude based on barometric pressure

readings produced by its pressure sensor. This means that readings taken at different times at the same location may produce different altitude values due to changes in barometric pressure. Also note that the value displayed by the watch may be different from the actual elevation and/or sea level elevation indicated for the area where you are located.

• When using the watch’s altimeter while mountain climbing, be sure to perform regular calibration in

accordance with the local altitude (elevation) indications. For more information, see “To specify a reference altitude value” (page E-56).

• Whenever you use the digital compass of this watch for serious trekking, mountain climbing, or other

activities, be sure always to take along another compass to conﬁ 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.

Charging the Watch

The face of the watch is a solar panel 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

When wearing the watch, make sure that its face is not blocked from light by the sleeve of your clothing.

• The watch may enter a sleep state

(page E-18) if its face is blocked by your sleeve even only partially.

Important!

• Allowing the watch to become very hot can cause its liquid crystal display to go blank (totally black or

totally white, depending on the watch model). 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-18) 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.

Power Levels

Hold down B for at least two seconds to enter the Timekeeping Mode. You can get an idea of the watch’s power level by observing the battery power indicator on the display.

Battery power indicator

• 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.

A dark environment while battery power is at Level 4 will cause the level to drop to Level 5. Expose the

watch to bright light whenever possible.

Power Saving

When turned on, 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.

• For information about enabling and disabling power saving, see “To turn Power Saving on or off” (page

E-99).

• There actually are two sleep state levels: “display sleep” and “function sleep”.

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.

• The watch will not enter a sleep state while it is in the Stopwatch Mode or Countdown Timer Mode.

• The watch will not enter a sleep state while barometric pressure change indicator is enabled (page E-73).

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-36) 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, Fukuoka/Saga (Japan)
