turned, or even if a setting error causes a "NO OPERATION" message to
appear.

6. Synchronising the hands and digital time
The hour shown by the hands and the digital time
should be in perfect synchronisation. Any possible
loss of synchronisation between the two (battery
change, violent impact) will require the hands to
be adjusted to match the digital time displayed.
Proceed as follows:
Select the neutral display position by turning the
crown, then pull it to position 2. The letter "
R
" will
be displayed.
Press the
B
button briefly; the hour, minute and
second figures are selected and will flash succes-
sively.

The hands are successively synchronised by turning the
crown.
NB:
The second hand can only be adjusted in a clockwise
direction (crown turning upwards).
Push the crown back into position 1 when the position of
the three hands corresponds to the digital time displayed.
This synchronisation only adjusts the time displayed by
the hands to local time (
T1
). For perfect synchronisation
between analogue time (hands) and digital time (figures),
firstly adjust the hands to the digital time displayed (in syn-
chronisation mode "
R
") and then adjust the exact time in
"
Setting
" mode as shown in the following chapter on
