SETTING THE TIME
NOTES ON OPERATING THE WATCH
●If the alarm has been set and the crown is pulled out to the second click, the ALARM
hands will turn to indicate the current time.
[MAIN TIME SETTING]
●When setting the hour hand, be sure to check that AM/PM is correctly set. The watch
is so designed that the date changes once in 24 hours.
●When setting the minute hand, first advance it 4 to 5 minutes ahead of the desired time
and then turn it back to the exact minute.
SETTING THE DATE
●It is necessary to adjust the date at the end of February and 30-day months.
●Do not set the date between 9:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m., as the date may not change
properly.
●Do not press Button when the crown is at the first click position, as this will move the
ALARM hands.
●The single-time alarm cannot be set for a time more than 12 hours ahead of the current
time. While you keep Button pressed to advance the ALARM hands quickly, they stop
when they indicate the current time and the alarm is disengaged. In that case, release
Button, and then, press and hold Button again to set the ALARM hands to the desired
time.

●While the crown is at the normal position, the ALARM hands indicate the current time
when the alarm is disengaged and the designated alarm time when it is engaged.
●To correct the alarm time you have set, follow the procedure described in “ALARM
TIME SETTING”.
● If the alarm rings for more than 20 seconds a day, the battery life may be less than the
specified period.
● As the battery is inserted at the factory to check the function and performance of the
watch, its actual life once in your possession may be less than the specified period.
● When the battery expires, be sure to replace it as soon as possible to prevent any
malfunction.
● After the battery is replaced with a new one, set the time/calendar and alarm.

WARNING
●Do not remove the battery from the watch.
●If it is necessary to take out the battery, keep it out of the reach of
children. If a child swallows it, consult a doctor immediately.
●Never short-circuit, tamper with or heat the battery, and never expose
it to fire. The battery may burst, become very hot or catch fire.
CAUTION
●The battery is not rechargeable. Never attempt to recharge it, as this
may cause battery leakage or damage to the battery.
* While the second hand is moving at two-second intervals, the alarm will not ring even
if it is engaged. This is not a malfunction.
* The watch remains accurate while the second hand is moving at two-second
intervals.

* Before using the water resistance 5, 10, 15 or 20 bar watch in water, be sure the
crown is pushed in completely.
Do not operate the crown when the watch is wet or in water. If used in sea water,
rinse the watch in fresh water and dry it completely.
* When taking a shower with the water resistance 5 bar watch, or taking a bath with
the water resistance 10, 15 or 20 bar watch, be sure to observe the following:
• Do not operate the crown when the watch is wet with soapy water or shampoo.
• If the watch is left in warm water, a slight time loss or gain may be caused. This
condition, however, will be corrected when the watch returns to normal
temperature.
NOTE:
Pressure in bar is a test pressure and should not be considered as corresponding
to actual diving depth since swimming movement tends to increase the
pressure at a given depth. Care should also be taken on diving into water.
