8. Hand Correction Function
(Hand Reference Position Automatic Correction Function)
What is the Hand Correction Function ? (Hand Reference Position
Automatic Correction Function)
This function checks the hand positions at predetermined intervals to determine if
the hand reference positions are correct, and if they are detected to have shifted out
of position, rapidly corrects the second, minute and hour hands to automatically
keep the correct time.
Shock Detection Function
This function prevents the second, minute and hour hands from shifting when the
watch is subjected to shocks.
L
If the watch should happen to be subjected to a strong impact or placed in an
environment subjected to magnetism or static electricity, the correct time may not be
displayed even if radio waves are received. If this happens, check the reference
position. Refer to "9. Checking the Reference Position" on the following page.
9. Checking the Reference Position
Radio wave watches display the standard time and date received on the basis of a hand
reference position of "12:00:00", a date of the "1st", and "SUN" for the day.
i Check that the reference position is
displayed correctly.
Step 1): Continuously depress the upper
right button (B) for about 5 seconds
or more with the crown at the normal
position, and release once the
second hand has begun to move
either forward or backward. All of
the hands and calendar move rapidly
and stop at the reference position
stored in the memory of the watch.
L
This may take up to about 7 minutes.
If the display appears different from the correct
reference position display, refer to section 10 entitled
"Manually Correcting the Reference Position".
