Temperature Sensor Calibration
The watch’s temperature sensor 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-18
1. In the Timekeeping Mode, press D to enter the
Thermometer Mode and start a temperature reading
operation.
• The first temperature reading will take about three
seconds. After that, readings are taken at two-second
intervals for the first two minutes, and then at twominute intervals after that.
• The displayed temperature will be updated with each
reading.
2. To stop the temperature reading operation, press D to return to the Timekeeping
Mode.
• The watch will stop taking temperature readings and return to the Timekeeping
Mode automatically if you do not perform any operation for about one or two hours.
Temperature
• Temperature is displayed in units of 0.1°C (or 0.2°F).
• The displayed temperature value changes to - - - °C (or °F) if a measured
temperature falls outside the 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.
Display Units
You can select either Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F) for the displayed temperature
value. See “To specify the temperature unit” (page E-21) for more information.
To calibrate the temperature sensor
3. Use D (+) and B (–) to change the displayed calibration by 0.1°C (0.2°F) steps.
• To return the currently flashing value to its initial factory default setting, press D
and B at the same time. OFF will appear in place of the flashing temperature
value for about two seconds, followed by the initial default value.
4. Press A to return to the Thermometer Mode screen and take temperature
readings.
1. Enter the Thermometer Mode, which will start a
temperature reading operation and display the results
(page E-16).

Operation Guide 5299
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-20
Temperature Reading Precautions
When taking temperature readings, it is best to remove the watch from your wrist in
order to eliminate the effects of body heat. Remove the watch from your wrist and
allow it to hang freely from your bag or in another location where it is not exposed to
direct sunlight.

Tide and Moon Data
You can use the watch to check the current tide, Moon phase, and Moon age in your
area.
• Basic calculations to determine this data is performed based on your current Home
City setting (page E-11). You can also check the tide and Moon data in another
location by temporarily selecting the applicable city as your Home City.
• Note that the tide and Moon data calculated by this watch are approximate and are
intended as general information only. Never try to use it for marine navigation or any
other purposes requiring accurate measurements.

High-Speed Movement
• The D and B buttons are used to change setting in various setting modes. In most
cases, holding down these buttons will start high-speed movement.
Initial Screens
When you enter the Stopwatch Mode, World Time Mode or Alarm Mode, the data you
were viewing when you last exited the mode will appear first.
Illumination Precautions
• Illumination may be difficult to see when viewed under direct sunlight.
• Illumination turns off automatically whenever an alarm sounds.
• Illumination turns off automatically depends on the current illumination duration
setting.
• Frequent use of illumination runs down the battery.
Auto light switch precautions
• Avoid wearing the watch on the inside of your wrist. Doing so causes the auto light
switch to operate when it is not needed, which shortens battery life. If you want to
wear the watch on the inside of your wrist, turn off the auto light switch feature.
More than 15 degrees
too high
• 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 in about 1.5 seconds or 3 seconds,
even if you keep the watch pointed towards your face.

Operation Guide 5299
• 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 toward you 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.
• Under certain conditions, illumination may not turn on until about one second after
you turn the face of the watch towards you. This does not necessarily indicate
malfunction of the auto light switch.
• 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.
