■ The hands and/or day indications are off.
This could indicate that the watch has been exposed to magnetism or strong impact, which has caused
problems with proper hand and day alignment. Adjust the watch’s hand and day home position alignment
(page E-45).
■ Data indication is correct, but it is not in the middle of the day indicator.
The
Day Indicator will change gradually between approximately 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. each day. If the
date is misaligned during this period, it is only momentarily and does not indicate malfunction. If you
change your Home City setting while the current time in the new Home City is between approximately
10 p.m. and 2 a.m., the date may become misaligned momentarily.
Charging
■ The watch does not resume operation after I expose it to light.
It can take quite a long time to charge the battery after the power level drops to Level 3 (page E-11). Continue
exposing the watch to light until the
Second Hand starts moving normally (at one-second intervals).

Troubleshooting
Hand Movement and Position
■ I lost track of what mode the watch is in.
Refer to “Mode Reference Guide” (page E-21). To return directly to the Dual Time Mode, hold down C for at
least two seconds.
■ The
Second Hand is moving at two-second intervals.
■ All the watch’s hands are stopped at 12 o’clock and none of the buttons work (
Second Hand
stopped at 57, 58, 59, or 00).
Power may be low. Expose the watch to light until the
Second Hand starts moving normally, at one-
second intervals (page E-11).
■ The hands of the watch suddenly start moving at high speed, even when I do not perform any
operation.
This could be due to any one of the following causes. In all cases, the hand movement does not indicate
malfunction, and should stop shortly.

(page E-14).
■ Hands suddenly stop moving. Button operation also is disabled.
The watch may be in the power recovery mode (page E-12). Do not perform any operation until the hands
return to their normal positions. The hands should return to their correct positions when normal operation
returns. To help power recover, leave the watch in a location where it is exposed to light.
