Setting the preliminary position of the date, day hand, hour and minute hands

8B63_Reference position alignment-1

The preliminary position of the date is the “1st”.

The preliminary position of the day hand is “ S.”(Sunday)

The preliminary positions of the hour and minute hands are “0:00 AM”.

When the preliminary positions are incorrect, the correct date, day of the week or time cannot be displayed even if the watch receives radio signals.

In such a case, by correcting the preliminary positions, wrong date or day indication, loss or gain of the time can be corrected.

When the numerical number of the date is not located at the center of the window, it can be corrected by the same procedures as mentioned above.

To correct the preliminary positions, perform the following operation.

  1. Keep pressing down the Button A and B (for 3 seconds) at the same time until the seconds hand stops pointing to the 13-second position.

  2. The watch switches to the preliminary position alignment mode for the date.
    The date moves, and stops at the preliminary position.

    First, press the Button B, and subsequently press the Button A while keeping holding down the Button B so as to press both of them successfully.

    While the date is moving, the button cannot be operated.

    Do not pull the crown out.

    Within 20 seconds after procedure 1. is completed and the date stops, start the operation of procedure 2.
    If the watch is left untouched for 20 seconds after the date stops, the watch automatically returns to the TIME display mode.
    If this happens, restart the operation from procedure 1.
