Using the Alarm
You can set five independent daily alarms. When an alarm is turned on,
an alarm will sound for about 10 seconds each day when the time in the
Timekeeping Mode reaches the preset alarm time. This is true even if the
watch is not in the Timekeeping Mode. One of the daily alarms is a
snooze alarm. The snooze alarm will sound every five minutes up to
seven times or until it is turned off.
You can also turn on an Hourly Time Signal, which will cause the watch
to beep twice every hour on the hour.
To enter the Alarm Mode
Use Cto select the Alarm Mode as shown on page E-8.
•The lower display will show the currently selected alarm number (AL1
to AL4, or SNZ), or the hourly time signal indicator (SIG).
•When you enter the Alarm Mode, the data you were viewing when you
last exited the mode appears first.

Battery
■Why is the low battery alert flashing?
Battery power is low. Watch operations are disabled while the low battery
alert is flashing on the lower display.
If the low battery alert disappears after battery power recovers but then
starts to flash again after a short while, it means that you need to have
the watch’s batteries replaced.

Measurement
•If ERR appears while a measurement operation is being performed in a sensor mode, restart the
measurement. If ERR appears on the lower display again, it can mean there is something wrong with
the sensor.
•If ERR keeps appearing during measurement, it could mean there is a problem with the applicable
sensor.
World Time Mode
■The time for my World Time City is off in the World Time Mode.
This could be due to incorrect switching between standard time and daylight saving time.
See “To specify standard time or daylight saving time (DST) for a city” (page E-30) for more information.

Troubleshooting
Time Setting
■ Why is the current time setting off by a couple of hours?
Your Home City setting may be wrong (page E-14). Check your Home City setting and correct it, if necessary.
■ Why is the current time setting off by one hour?
You may need to change your Home City’s standard time/daylight saving time (DST) setting. Use the
procedure under “To change the current time and date settings” (page E-16).
Sensor modes
■ Why can’t I change the temperature unit setting?
The temperature unit setting is always Celsius (°C) whenever TOKYO is selected as the Home City. In
this case, the setting cannot be changed.
■Why does “ERR” appear while a sensor operation is in progress?
Subjecting the watch to strong impact can cause sensor malfunction or improper contact of internal
circuitry. When this happens, ERR (error) will appear on the lower display and sensor operations will be
disabled.
