How to set the time, date, and day of the week (4R36)

The watch is provided with a date and day of the week function and is so designed that the date and day of the week change once every 24 hours.

The date changes around midnight, and the day of the week changes at around 4:00 a.m. If AM/PM is not properly set, the date will change at 12 o’clock noon, and the day of the week will change at around 4:00 p.m.

CAUTION

Do not set the date or the day of the week between 9:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m.
Amending the date or the day of the week during this time period may cause problems such as the date or the day of the week failing to change the next day or may cause damage.
