Pressing any of button A , B or C will turn off the
alarm sound.
· You can hear to the sound of the alarm at any time by pressing buttons A and
C simultaneously when the watch is in the alarm mode (alarm sound monitor).
· Since a 12 hour display will also be used for the alarm mode when the time
mode is set to a 12 hour display, make sure that AM and PM are set correctly.
13. DISPLAY OF BUTTON FUNCTIONS This watch is provided with a digital display
that indicates the function of each button. Refer to this display when
desiring to know the function of a particular button.
14. CONVENIENT FUNCTIONS
When display becomes illegible due to overlapping of digital display and
analog hands: · This watch allows the hour and minute hands to be retracted
when the display becomes difficult to see as a result of the hour and minute
hands overlapping the digital display (hand retract function).
~Procedure~ 1. Press button B for at least 2 seconds when
“H.R.” is displayed on the digital display for the function of button B . The
hour and minute hands will begin to move toward the 12:00 position. 2. Once
the hour and minute hands have been moved to a location that does not obstruct
the view of the digital display, press button B again and stop the movement of
the hands. (If button B is not pressed, the hands will continue to move until
they reach the 12:00 position.
~Cancellation of Hand Retract Function~ · Press button B one more time.
The letters “H.R.” will flash during the time the hand retractor function is
activated.
H.R. is the abbreviation for “Hand Retract”.
When the watch shows unusual display
· When there appears to be a malfunction or abnormality in the display or
operation of the watch (such as a portion of the display not being shown or
the alarm continuing to sound), perform the full reset and hand zero
positioning described below.
~All-Reset/Hand Zero Positioning Procedure~ · This procedure may be performed
in any mode. 1. Press button M to switch to the
“CHR” mode. 2. Pull out button M . 3. Simultaneously press buttons A , B , and
C for
at least 2 seconds. (The display will no longer be shown when these buttons
are pressed.) 4. Release the buttons. (The entire digital display will flash.)
5. Push in button M to the normal position. 6. Pull the M button out again. At
this time, digital display indicate “F_H”. 7. Each time button B is pressed,
the digital display will change in the order of “F_H”, “H.R.” and “SEC”.
“F_H”: Allows zero positioning of function hand. “H.R.”: Allows zero
positioning of hour, minute, and 24 hour hands. “SEC”: Allows zero positioning
of second hand. 8. Press button A or C and set each of the hands to the 24
hour 00 minute 00 second position. Button A : Setting by clockwise rotation of
the hands. Button C : Setting by counter-clockwise rotation of the hands. 9.
Push in button M to the normal position. Reset each mode to the proper time
settings. The hands of the watch will not display time correctly unless the
hands are properly aligned at the zero position.
15. USING THE BEZEL · This watch has a bezel function. · Some models are not
equipped with this function. 1. Directional (rotating bezel
type) 2. Yachting (rotating bezel type) 3. Conversion of km/naut/mile.
1. Directional rotating bezel (Northern hemisphere)
The compass feature on this watch is based on the position of the sun. This
compass should only be used as an approximate direction finder. Changes in
latitude and the seasons may also cause directional misreadings. One of the
features of this watch is a directional rotating bezel for use in the Northern
Hemisphere. By aligning the hour hand with the position of the sun in the sky,
the point halfway between this position and 12 o’clock will be South. Align
the “S” mark on the rotating bezel with this halfway point to determine all
other points of the compass.
2. Yacht race
Many yacht races are set in triangulated course layouts such as the one
described here where the winner is the boat that navigates the designated
course around the marks in the fastest time.
Direction: Navigational bearings are most often given in terms of degrees.
North: 0° East: 90° South: 180° West: 270° Starboard: The right-hand side of a
yacht when looking forward. Port: The left-hand side of a yacht when looking
forward.
Using the rotating bezel (1) 1. Before a race, determine the direction of the
wind from the direction and position of the windward marker. Line up the
number representing the wind direction (in degrees) in the bezel with the
triangle ( )
mark at 12 o’clock (eg. northeasterly wind at 45°). 2. The course bearing from
the windward mark to the wind mark (starboard reach) is read off the bezel, in
degrees, at the green triangle () on the bottom left side of the dial. 3. The
course bearing from the wind mark to the leeward mark (port reach) is read off
the bezel, in degrees, at the red triangle () on the bottom right side of the
dial. 4. When sailing from the windward mark to the leeward mark, the small
white triangle at the bottom of the watch dial becomes the reference point for
determining course bearings. Note that the above explanation is only valid for
times when the ø angle is 45°. At 60°, use the values lying above the red and
green triangle, and at 30° the values lying below the two triangles.
Using the rotating bezel (2) Most present-day yachts are capable of sailing at
45° to the wind. To be in a position to be able to read the wind shift after
the start of a race, make several runs before the race matching your course as
close as possible to the red (or green) bars on the left (or right) upper
portion of the watch face.
Using the rotating bezel (3) By using the rotating bezel in the following way
you can determine the angle between the start/finish and the direction from
which the wind is blowing. The start/finish line is usually set at a right
angle to the direction of the wing, but because the wind is always shifting
direction, a true 90° angle is rarely encountered. In this case, line up the
white triangle at the 12:00 position on the watch with the direction from
which the wind is blowing. Sail from one end of the start/finish line to the
other, using the white lines marked (at 3:00 or 9:00) on the watch to the
white line, you are on a favourable heading to start the race when you cross
the start/finish line. If the course steered falls to the minus () side of
the white line on the watch, you know it is favourable to cross the
start/finish on a heading from the opposite direction. * Use any one or a
combination of the
three methods described above to help you manoeuvre your boat into and
maintain the position you feel is the most advantageous during a race.
3. Conversion of km/naut/mile
· Calculation results should only be used as approximate indicators.
· The calculator scale does not indicate decimal places.
1. Turn the rotating ring and see how many kilometres or knots one mile will
correspond to.
2. Set the mile (or STAT = stature mile) to the 10 mark and look at the
figure lying below the km . This is equivalent in kilometres (= 1.6).
3. The figure located under the naut (or knot = nautical mile) is the
equivalent in nauts (= 0.86).
4. Similarly, any desired distance can be converted to km/naut/mile.
16. PRECAUTIONS FOR LONG TERM USE
1. Water Resistance Check the chart to determine the water resistant
properties of this watch.
WATER RESIST may sometimes be the abbreviation of WATER RESISTANT.
Do not operate any of the buttons when the watch is wet. 2. Avoid extreme
temperatures
Avoid leaving your watch in extremely warm or cold locations for long periods
of time. 3. Avoid strong shocks 4. Avoid strong magnetic fields 5. Avoid
chemicals and gases Avoid wearing the watch in the presence of strong
chemicals or gases. If mercury or any chemical (such as gasoline, thinner,
alcohol, cosmetic sprays or the like), comes in contact with the watch,
discolouration, deterioration or damage to case, band or other components may
occur. 6. Avoid static electricity The integrated circuits used in this watch
are sensitive to static electricity. If exposed to intense static electricity,
the watch’s display may lose its accuracy.
7. Keep Your Watch Clean Any dirt left on the case or band may cause skin
rash. A watchband will easily become soiled with dust and perspiration because
it is in direct contact with the skin. Even a stainless or goldplated band may
begin to corrode if it has not been cleaned for a long period of time.
8. Periodic inspection Getting your watch checked every 2 or 3 years is
recommended to ensure long use and troublefree operation.
9. Be sure to keep the battery out of reach of infants and small children:
Should accidental ingestion occur, consult a doctor at once.

PRECAUTIONS ABOUT CARE AND HANDLING OF WATCHES
TEMPERATURE CARE Avoid temperature extremes. Exposing your watch to high
temperatures, such as placing it on the dashboard of a vehicle or use in a hot
tub, may cause the watch to malfunction, shorten battery life or damage
certain components. Leaving the watch in extreme cold temperatures may cause
irregular timekeeping until the watch returns to normal operating temperature.
SHOCK-RESISTANT The watch may be worn while playing golf or other activities,
but avoid severe shocks such as dropping it on a hard surface.
MAGNETIC-RESISTANT No problem should occur from using the watch around
ordinary household electric appliances such as TV sets or stereos. Keep away
from magnets.
CHEMICAL/GAS RESISTANT Do not expose the watch to chemicals or gases for long
periods.
WATCH CLEANING Stains, waterspots and accumulated dirt on the case, crystal or
band should be removed with a soft cloth to prevent damage and premature wear.
HANDLING OF WATER-RESISTANT WATCHES Although water-resistant watches are
warranted, steps should be taken to avoid damage that may result from
accidents or mishandling:
Do not operate the crown or push-button in the water or while the watch is
wet. Tighten screw lock crown completely.
Should the watch become immersed in water, dry it off right away. If the watch
comes in contact with salt water, be sure to rinse it thoroughly in warm fresh
water to remove any trace of salt.
If a watch is wet from cleaning or by accident, never store it in a closed
container. It should be dried immediately or taken to a watchmaker or jeweler
if moisture is inside the case to prevent damage from rust.
Vital components necessary to resist the entrance of moisture deteriorate with
time and use. Gaskets, crowns and other materials should be replaced every
year or two to ensure
that water resistant quality remains at factory specifications.
CARE FOR METAL BRACELETS To extend the life and maintain the good appearance
of the metal watch bracelet, the following recommendations are given:
Be aware that since the watch and bracelet is worn next to the skin, it
collects dust and perspiration and becomes soiled if not cleaned regularly.
This is particularly true of the inner parts of the links or mesh of the
bracelet.
Soil and rust, when present in a bracelet, are dissolved by perspiration and
can cause staining of cuffs and irritation of the skin in some instances.
Heavy perspiration should be wiped off the watch and bracelet with a soft dry
cloth. The bracelet should be cleaned occasionally by using an old toothbrush
and warm soapy water after which the soap is thoroughly rinsed with clear
water and the bracelet dried completely. The foregoing manner of cleaning
should not be done if the watch is not water-resistant but should instead be
done by your jeweler.
CARE FOR STRAPS
LEATHER Heavy perspiration, if not removed from a leather strap, can wash out
the natural oils and cause the leather to become dry and deteriorate. Any
moisture should be blotted with a soft dry cloth or paper towel and the strap
allowed to dry naturally.
Salt residue and soil can be removed from the leather by cleaning with a
dampened soft cloth and mild soap or saddle soap.
Occasionally, the inside surface of the strap should be cleaned by using a
soft cloth dampened with alcohol.
The strap should always be worn a little loosely (one finger space between
wrist and strap) to allow air to circulate thus causing any moisture to
evaporate.
RUBBER Rubber straps should be washed frequently with mild soap and warm water
using a soft brush.
Thorough cleaning, using the same method, should especially be done after use
in salt water.
Solvents, oils, perspiration, tanning lotion and salt can cause rubber to
deteriorate if not removed.

Water Resistance
The water-resistant quality of our timepieces is offered in varying degrees
depending on the model. This ranges from non-water resistant models to those
suitable for SCUBA diving. Water resistance of our timepieces is measured in
BAR or Barometric Pressure. Each BAR of pressure is equal to 14.5 pounds per
square inch of pressure.
Water resistance is measured when the watch is at a static, or motionless
state. As the watch is moved in water, such as from the motion of swimming,
pressure is added from velocity. While you may be swimming in a pool at
surface level, the watch may be experiencing forces equal to that of 100 feet
of water pressure (3 BAR). Diving into a pool can cause forces on the watch to
exceed those pressures. As such, you should always allow a margin of safety
when exposing your watch to moisture. Never “push the limit” of the degree of
water resistance of your timepiece.
A primary factor to keep in mind about water resistance is that periodic
maintenance is needed to maintain original factory specifications for water
resistance. When a watch is new, it meets specifications for water resistance
as indicated on the case back. However, as the watch ages, the gaskets that
seal the watch become dry and brittle, diminishing its water resistant
quality. Exposure to environments such as chlorinated pools, salt water or
soaps from showering can accelerate drying of the gaskets. We recommend that
the gaskets be changed at least every 18 to 24 months to maintain the water
resistant quality of your timepiece. If the watch is frequently exposed to
chlorinated pools, soaps salt water, etc., we recommend that the gaskets be
changed on a yearly basis.
From time to time, you may notice condensation that appears then goes away
after a short period of time. This is a normal occurrence and happens
primarily from sudden temperature changes. When there are sudden temperature
changes such as entering a cool building from the hot out of doors, or jumping
into pool on a hot day the watch may fog. Conversely, if you go to the cold
outdoors from a warm building, fogging may occur. As long as the fogging
clears in a short period of time, there is no need for concern.
Be sure the crown is completely pushed in prior to any contact with moisture.
If your model is equipped with a screw down crown, be sure it is properly
seated against the case. Do not operate the crown or any push button when the
watch is wet as this may allow the entrance of moisture. . If at anytime, you
notice moisture in your timepiece that does not clear in a short period of
time, you should send your timepiece as soon as possible to the nearest
Authorized Service Center for inspection.
You can determine the level of water resistance of our watches from the
markings on your case-back. Additionally, models that are water resistant to
100 or 200 meters have an indication on the dial as well. The case-backs and
dials are normally marked as follows:
The case back has no indication of water resistance This indicates the watch
is a non water-resistant model and is not designed for contact with moisture
at all. Caution should be exercised to avoid any contact with moisture, such
as when washing your hands or from a rainstorm.
“Water Resist” This watch is designed to withstand water from accidental
splashing, such as from washing your hands or rain. Any submersion into water
may result in the entrance of moisture.
“Water Resist 10BAR” or “W.R. 10BAR”, Dial marked “WR100” This watch is
designed to withstand water pressure up to 333 feet. This includes water
exposure from accidental splashing and rain, but also from showering, swimming
in a pool and snorkeling. Be sure to rinse the watch with fresh water after
exposure to a chlorinated pool, salt water, soaps, etc. After rinsing with
fresh water, be sure to dry the exterior with a soft cloth.
“Water Resist 20BAR” or “W.R. 20BAR”, Dial marked “WR200” This watch is
designed to withstand water pressure up to 666 feet. This includes all
exposure to water up to and including recreational SCUBA diving. Be sure to
rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to a chlorinated pool, salt
water, soaps, etc. After rinsing with fresh water, be sure to dry the exterior
with a soft cloth.
Special Note about Jacuzzis and Hot Tubs The various components used in the
manufacture and assembly of your watch expand at various rates. This results
in a loss of the sealing capabilities of gaskets, which may allow moisture to
enter. In addition, heat from these sources can cause deformation of certain
materials leading to mechanical failures. For these reasons, you should remove
your watch before entering a hot tub or Jacuzzi.
