Moving the Hands for Easy Viewing of the Digital Dials

You can use the procedure below to move the analog hands in order to better view a digital dial.

Note

• The analog hands will not move while battery power is low.

To shift the hands and view digital info

While holding down

, press

• This will cause all hands to move to 2 o’clock.

E-41

To return the hands to their normal positions

Press any one of the following buttons:

, or

Note

• The hands will also return to their normal positions if you do not perform any operation for about 10

seconds.

• If the hands have moved to 2 o’clock because you pulled out the crown,* they will return to their normal

positions when you push the crown back in.

In this case, the hands will return to normal timekeeping when you push the crown back in.

* The hands will not move to 2 o’clock if you pull out the crown while conﬁ guring the city code setting

(pages E-34, E-92) or the summer time setting (pages E-34, E-92), or while manually conﬁ guring

time and date settings (page E-36).

Auto Hand Shift

If the hour hand and/or minute hand is over the digital display when a displayed altitude, barometric

pressure, or temperature reading is updated, the hand(s) will shift automatically (to 4 o’clock or 8 o’clock)

and provide a better view of the information on the display.

The hands will return to their normal position after about three seconds.

E-42

Taking Direction Readings

You can use the Digital Compass Mode to determine the direction of north, and to check your bearing to a

destination.

• For information about what you can do to improve digital compass reading accuracy, see “Calibrating

the Bearing Sensor” (page E-45) and “Digital Compass Precautions” (page E-49).

E-43

To take a direction reading

1. Make sure the watch is in the Timekeeping, Digital Compass, or Altimeter Mode.

2. Place the watch on a ﬂ at surface. If you are wearing the watch, make sure that your wrist is horizontal

(in relation to the horizon).

3. Point the 12 o’clock position of the watch in the direction whose reading you want to take.

4. Press

to start.

• COMP will appear in the display to indicate that a digital compass operation is in progress.

• Starting a digital compass operation will cause the second hand to move momentarily to the 12

o’clock position. After that, it will indicate magnetic north.

Note

• The watch will return to the Timekeeping Mode about 60 seconds after the direction reading

operation is complete.

• To restart a reading operation from the beginning, press

• Pressing

will return to the Timekeeping Mode even is a reading operation is in progress.

Important!

• If the second hand does not point exactly at 12 o’clock after you perform step 4 above, perform the

operation under “Hand Home Position Adjustment” (page E-39) to adjust it.

• If the digital display contents start to ﬂ ash after you perform a reading operation, it means that

abnormal magnetism has been detected. Move away from any potential source of strong magnetism

and try taking a reading again. If the problem occurs when you try again, continue to keep away from

the source of strong magnetism, perform bidirectional calibration, and then try taking a reading again.

For more information, refer to “To perform bidirectional calibration” (page E-47) and “Location” (page

E-50).

Digital Compass Readings

• After the ﬁ rst reading is obtained, the watch will continue to take digital compass readings automatically

each second for up to 60 seconds. After that, the reading operation will stop automatically.

• The margin of error for the angle value and the direction indicator is ±11 degrees while the watch is

horizontal (in relation to the horizon). If the indicated direction is northwest (

) and 315 degrees, for

example, the actual direction can be anywhere from 304 to 326 degrees.

• Note that taking a direction reading while the watch is not horizontal (in relation to the horizon) can

result in large direction reading error.

•

You can calibrate the bearing sensor if you suspect the direction reading is incorrect.

E-45

• Any ongoing direction reading operation is paused temporarily while the watch is performing an alert

operation (daily alarm, Hourly Time Signal, countdown timer alarm) or while illumination is turned on (by

pressing

). The direction reading operation resumes for its remaining duration after the operation

that caused it to pause is ﬁ nished.

Calibrating the Bearing Sensor

You should calibrate the bearing sensor whenever you feel that the direction readings being produced by

the watch are off. You can use any one of two different bearing sensor calibration methods: bidirectional

calibration or magnetic declination correction.

•

Bidirectional Calibration

Bidirectional calibration calibrates the bearing sensor in relation to magnetic north. Use bidirectional

calibration when you want to take readings within an area exposed to magnetic force. This type of

calibration should be used if the watch becomes magnetized for any reason.

Important!

• To ensure correct direction readings by this watch, be sure to perform bidirectional calibration before

using it. The watch may produce incorrect direction readings if you do not perform bidirectional

calibration.

•

Magnetic Declination Correction

With magnetic declination correction, you input a magnetic declination angle (difference between

magnetic north and true north), which allows the watch to indicate true north. You can perform this

procedure when the magnetic declination angle is indicated on the map you are using. Note that you can

input the declination angle in whole degree units only, so you may need to round off the value speciﬁ ed

on the map. If your map indicates the declination angle as 7.4°, you should input 7°. In the case of 7.6°

input 8°, for 7.5° you can input 7° or 8°.

E-46

Precautions about bidirectional calibration

• You can use any two opposing directions for bidirectional calibration. You must, however, make sure

that they are 180 degrees opposite each other. Remember that if you perform the procedure

incorrectly, you will get wrong bearing sensor readings.

• Do not move the watch while calibration of either direction is in progress.

• You should perform bidirectional calibration in an environment that is the same as that where you plan

to be taking direction readings. If you plan to take direction readings in an open ﬁ eld, for example,

calibrate in an open ﬁ eld.

E-47

To perform bidirectional calibration

1. In the Digital Compass Mode, pull out the crown.

•

This will cause 1 to appear on the digital display, with up arrow ( )

ﬂ a s h i n g .

2. While keeping the watch horizontal, press

•

WAIT will be shown on the digital display while calibration is

in progress.

Turn180°

will appear on the digital display if

calibration is successful, and then

will appear.

• If ERR appears on the display, press

again to restart the

direction reading operation.

3. Rotate the watch 180 degrees.

4. Press

again to calibrate the second direction.

• WAIT is shown on the display while calibration is being

performed.

When calibration is successful, the display will show OK and then

change to the Digital Compass Mode screen.

5. After calibration is complete, push the crown back in.
