10. Setting Local Time [L-TM]
The local time function enables the time in a different time zone to be set separately from the current time. Local time is set by performing a time difference
correction in 1 hour units based on the current time (time of the TME mode). The
minute and second hands move in coordination with the current time.
<Time Difference Correction>

• Correction can be made one hour at a time in
the counterclockwise direction each time button C is pressed.
Correction can be made rapidly by holding button B or C down.
(3)Push button M in to the normal position.
* The range over which the time difference can be corrected is from +23
hours to -23 hours based on the current time (time of the TME mode).
21
11. What do to when the following occur
[The hands do not indicate the correct positions in each mode]
• The hand base positions may shift after the watch has been subjected to a
strong impact and so forth. When this happens, refer to [3. Before Using]
and perform the "0-Position Correction" procedure.
[The watch exhibits an abnormal display or operation]
• In extremely rare situations, the watch may exhibit an abnormal display or
erroneous operation (such as the alarm continuing to sound, or the hands
turning continuously) as a result of being subjected to the effects of static
electricity or strong impact and so forth. When this happens, perform the
"All-Reset" procedure while referring to the following page.
[After Replacing the Battery]
• After the battery has been replaced, always make sure to perform the "AllReset" procedure described on the following page. The watch may not run
properly if this operation is not performed.
22
<All-Reset Procedure>
B
C
A
M
The all-reset procedure can be performed
in any mode.
(1)Pull button M out.
(2)Simultaneously press buttons A , B
and C . (The confirmation beep
sounds at this time.)
(3)Return button M to the normal position.
* After performing the all-reset
procedure, always make sure to
perform the "0-position correction"
procedure while referring to [3. Before
Using] before resetting the watch to
the correct time.

12. Use of the Rotating Bezel
2. Directional rotating bezel (Northern hemisphere)
Some watches are not equipped with a bezel, depending on the model.
1. Tachymeter (non-rotating bezel type)
2. Directional (rotating bezel type)
If your watch is provided with a compass bezel:
The compass feature on this watch is
based on the position of the sun. This
compass should only be used as an
South
approximate direction finder. Changes
in latitude and the seasons may also
cause directional misreadings.
1. Tachymeter
80km/h
24
If your watch is provided with a tachymeter:
The tachymeter is a feature that measures the speed of
an automobile.
Measuring how many seconds a car travels over a distance of 1km enables the tacymeter scale to show the
approximate average speed per hour during a journey
(if this 1km is covered within a maximum of 60 seconds.)
If the chronograph is started at the beginning of the distance measurement, and stopped after 1km, the average speed per hour can be determined by the position
of the chronograph second hand. If 1km is covered in
45 seconds, the average speed will be about 80km/h.
12 O'clock
One of the feaures of this watch is a
directional rotating bezel for use in the
Northern Hemisphere.
By aligning the hour hand with the
position of the sun in the sky, the point
halfway between this position and 12
O' clock will be South. Align the ''S''
mark on the rotating bezel with this
halfway point to determine all other
points of the compass.

13. Precautions and Long Term Use
1. Water resistance
Check the chart to determine the water-resistant properties of this watch.
• Always set the crown in the normal position.

2. Avoid extreme temperatures
Avoid leaving your watch in extremely warm or cold locations for a long
period of time.
3. Avoid strong shocks
4. Avoid strong magnetic fields
5. Avoid chemicals and corrosive gases
Avoid wearing this watch in the presence of chemicals and corrosive gases.
If mercury or any chemical (such as fuel gasoline, thinner, alcohol, spray
liquids of cosmetics or the like,) makes contact with the watch, discoloration,
deterioration or damage to the case, band or other components may occur.
6. Avoid static electricity
The integrated circuits used in the watch are sensitive to static electricity. If
exposed to intense static electricity, the watch's display may lose its
accuracy.
7. Keep the watch clean
It may become difficult to pull the crown out due to dirt and dust getting
caught between the crown and the case when the watch is worn for long
periods of time. To prevent this from happening, turn the crown freely back
and forth occasionally while it is in the normal position. Any dirt left on the
case or band may cause skin rash. A watchband will easily become soiled
28
with dust and perspiration because it is in direct contact with the skin. Even
a stainless or gold-plated band may begin to corrode if it has not been
cleaned for a long period of time.
8. Periodic inspection
Getting your watch checked once every two years or three is recommended
to ensure long use and trouble-free operation.
9. Be sure to keep the battery away from infants or small children :
Should accidental ingestion occur, consult a doctor at once.
