Before using the watch, make sure to check whether or not the hand reference
position (initial positions of hour and minute hands) is aligned correctly. If the
reference position is not aligned correctly, the repeater function of this watch
will not operate properly.
3. Before Use
<Reference Position Confirmation
Method>
Continuously press button (B) until the hands
start to move with the crown in the normal
position. The hour and minute hands rapidly
advance to 12:00 (reference position) and
stop.
* If the hour and minute hands are not at
12:00, refer to “6. Reference Position
Alignment” to realign the hands to the
reference position.

5. Using the Repeater (Time Notication) Function
The repeater function noties the wearer of the current time (hours, minutes) with an
electronic tone by sliding button(A).
<Operating Procedure>
When button (A) is slid with the crown in the normal position, the wearer is notied of the
current time with an electronic tone.
(A)
4. Setting the Time
(1) Pull the crown out when the seconds reach 0 seconds (when either 60 or 0 reaches the
center of the seconds window).
(2) Slide button (A) or press button (B) and set the hour and minute hands to the current
time. Each time a button is slid (or pressed), the minute hand can be corrected by 1
minute. Pressing button(A) or (B) continuously causes the hand to advance rapidly.
Return the crown to the normal position in synchronization with a telephone time
signal or other time service.
Note: Always make sure to pull the
crown out when the seconds are at
0 seconds. If the crown is pulled
out when the seconds are not at 0,
the positional relationship between
the hour and minute hands will be
incorrect, and the time shown by
the hour and minute hands and the
time indicated by the electronic
tone will not agree.

AM and PM.
Tone pitch for minutes: A combination high pitch and low
pitch tone sounds in 15 minute
units, while a low pitch tone sounds
for a number of times corresponding
to the number of minutes after the
most recent 15 minute period.

After replacing the battery or in the
cases described below, align the hour
and minute hands at their reference
positions according to the procedure
described below.

Example: Current time is 10:34
The high pitch tone sounds 10 times corresponding to 10:00, the combination
high pitch and low pitch tone sounds twice corresponding to two 15 minute
periods, or 30 minutes, and the low pitch tone sounds 4 times corresponding
to 4 minutes past the most recent 15 minute period, namely 30 minutes in this
example.

<Procedure>
(1) Pull the crown out.
(2) Press button (A) and button (B) simultaneously. A conrmation tone sounds after the
hands move by 10 minutes in the counter-clockwise direction.
(3) Press button (B) to align the hour and minute hands at 12:00.
Each time button (B) is pressed, the hands can be corrected in 1/3 minute increments in the
clockwise direction. Pressing button (B) continuously causes the hands to advance rapidly.
* Correction can be made in the counter-clockwise direction by sliding button (A). In
the case of correcting with button (A) however, always make sure to rst advance
the hands to several minutes before 12:00 and nally align the hands at 12:00 in the
clockwise direction by pressing button (B).
(4) Return the crown to the normal position.
This completes reference position alignment. After performing the reference position
alignment procedure, properly reset the time before using the watch.
<Incomplete Reference Position Alignment Procedure Warning Function>
If the crown is pushed in without pressing either of the buttons following the procedure
of step (2), the minute hand moves backwards indicating that the reference position
alignment procedure has not been performed properly. In this case, perform the “Reference
Position Alignment” procedure again by following the procedure described above.
7. In the following cases
1. The time as indicated by the electronic tone and by the hand is off.
The Reference position of the hand could possibly be off the mark.
Please refer to “6. Standard Position Adjustment” to correct the Reference position.
2. The watch’s display is abnormal or it behaves strangely.
When exposing the watch to static electricity or violent impact, in rare cases it could
show an abnormal display or strange behavior (hand keeps rotating, electronic tone
keeps sounding, etc.).
In this case, please refer to “6. Reference Position Alignment” to correct the Reference
position.
3. The minute hand rotates in the opposite direction.
When Reference position adjustment is correctly performed, the warning function
indicating the Reference position adjustment is not yet set, is in operation. Please refer
to “6. Reference Position Alignment” to correct the Reference position once more.

watch, water may penetrate the watch leading to defects.
4. After replacing the battery.
After replacing the battery, be sure to always correct the Reference position by referring
to “6. Reference Position Alignment”.
If this precaution is not exercised, the repeater function of this watch will not operate
properly.

<Temperature>
• The function of the watch may impaired or the watch may even or stop if the ambient
temperature is outside the range of -10°C to 60°C.
• If the watch is left for an extended period under temperatures outside the normal range
(+5°C to +35°C), uid may leak from the battery, resulting in a considerable shortening
of battery life.
<Magnetism>
• Do not allow the watch to come into close proximity to magnets. If the watch is used
near a magnetic health devices (magnetic necklaces, magnetic elastic bands, etc.) or the
magnets used in the latches of refrigerator doors, earphone of a mobile phone, and so
forth, it will not keep time accurately. If this should happen, move the watch away from
the magnet and reset the watch to the correct time.
<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 become incorrect.
<Strong Shocks>
• Avoid dropping the watch or subjecting to other strong impacts.
<Chemicals, Corrosive Gases and Mercury>
• If paint thinner, benzene or other solvents or products containing these solvents (including
gasoline, nail-polish remover, cresol, bathroom cleaners and adhesives) are allowed to
come into contact with the watch, they may discolor, dissolve or crack the materials.
Be careful when handling these chemicals. Contact with mercury such as that used in
thermometers may also cause discoloration of the belt and case.
<Storage>
• If you will not be using your watch for an extended period of time, carefully wipe off any
perspiration, dirt or moisture and store in a proper location, avoiding locations subject to
excessively high or low temperatures and high humidity. Don't leave a depleted battery
