5. USING HAND RETRACTOR FUNCTION

• If either digital display is hard to see because the hour hand and/or minute
hand overlap in the time, calendar, alarm, local time or local alarm mode,
the disturbing hands can be moved aside by the Hand Retractor function.

[How to use the Hand Retractor function]

(1)If button B is pressed for 2 seconds or more in a normal mode, the second

hand quickly moves to the “0” position and stops there. At the same time, the
24-hour hand moves to the 24 hours position (24:00) while the hour and
minute hands are moved quickly to the 12 hours and “0” minute positions
(12:00) respectively.

• If button B is pressed again while the hands are moving quickly, each hand
stops immediately.

(2)If button B is pressed once more, the Hand Retractor mode is canceled and

each hand returns to its original position.
