HOW TO USE (FOR CAL. 9F86)

To set the time and date, set the 24-hour hand and minute hand first, and then set the hour hand and date.

1. Pull out the crown to the second click when the seconds hand is at the 12 o’clock position. (The seconds hand stops on the spot.)

(If the watch is equipped with the screw down crown, unscrew the crown before pulling it out.)

2. Turn the crown counterclockwise (6 o’clock direction) to rotate the 24-hour hand and minute hand clockwise and set them to the current time.

Due to the mechanism of the quartz watch, to set the time accurately, first turn the minute hand 4 to 5 minutes ahead of the desired time and then return it to the correct time.

Only the 24-hour and minute hands are to be set first. Even if the hour hand is indicating incorrect time, or the date may be altered depending on the position of the hour hand, it is not necessary to make an adjustment at this stage.

5. Turn the crown to set the hour hand. While turning the crown, the moment the date changes is midnight. When setting the hour hand, be sure that AM/PM is set correctly.

Set the date also at this point if necessary.



First click position

The crown can be turned in either direction to set the date, however, it is recommended to turn the crown in the direction which enables you to set the date with a smaller adjustment.

If the time you want to set is between 7:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m., first return the time to 6:00 p.m., and then turn the crown counterclockwise (6 o’clock direction) so the hands advance in the clockwise direction to set the time.

Turn the crown slowly, checking that the hour hand moves in one-hour increments.

When setting the hour hand, the other hands may move slightly. However, this is not a malfunction.

6. Push the crown back in to complete the time setting.

(If the watch is equipped with the screw down crown, relock the crown.)

It is necessary to adjust the date after February (which has 28 days, 29 days in a leap year) and a 30 day month.

Two full rotations of the hour hand will change the date for one day.

The date advances one day by turning the hour hand two full rotations clockwise (for 24 hours).

1. Pull out the crown to the first click.

(If the watch is equipped with the screw down crown, unscrew the crown before pulling it out.)

2. Each time the hour hand makes two full rotations by turning the crown, the date is adjusted one day. While turning the crown, the moment the date changes is midnight. When setting the hour hand, be sure that a.m./p.m. is set correctly.

1. Upon completion of setting, make sure that the time indicated is correct, and then push the crown back in. The date setting is now completed.

The date is designed to work in conjunction with the movement of the hour hand, therefore, incorrect setting of a.m./p.m. will cause the date to change at noon.

This watch has two different types of 24-hour hand usage.

<Type 1>:

24-hour hand as an a.m./p.m. indicator

Simply using the 24-hour hand to show the 24-hour time as an a.m./p.m. indicator. (This is the standard usage type for the 24-hour hand.)

Both the hour hand and the 24-hour hand are indicating the Japan time 10:00 a.m.

<Type 2>:

24-hour hand as a dual time indicator

Using the time difference adjustment function, set the 24-hour hand to indicate a time different from the time that the hour and minute hand indicate, which is of a place in a different time zone area with at least one hour of time difference from where you are.

Hour hand:

Japan time 10:00 a.m.

24-hour Hand:

New York time 8:00 p.m.

For example, while traveling abroad and staying in a place with a different time from where you live, you can conveniently set the watch to indicate the local time in the different time zone area without stopping the watch.

The hour hand indicates the time of the place where you currently are, while the 24-hour hand indicates the time of the place of origin.

The date works in conjunction with the movement of the hour hand. If the time difference is correctly adjusted, the watch displays the correct date of the place where you are staying.

1. Pull out the crown to the first click.

(If the watch is equipped with the screw down crown, unscrew the crown before pulling it out.)
