[. . . ] Follow the procedures below to check the calendar and, if necessary, to adjust it. · Do not check and adjust the calendar between 11pm and 1am. If the calendar is checked and adjusted between these times, the date may not change properly. In such case, first change the time to any time outside this period, and then set the date. After that, move the hands back to the correct time. · If the crown is pulled out to the second click while the numeral in the calendar frame is advancing or moving back, the second hand may be misaligned from the 12 o'clock position (initial position). · The button and crown operation cannot be made while the numeral in the calendar frame is advancing or moving back. Press the button or turn the crown after then numeral stops. · If the watch is left untouched for more than 2 to 3 minutes while checking or adjusting the calendar, the watch will resume normal movement. In such a case, start again from the beginning of the procedures. · Do not leave the crown at the first or second click when you use the watch, as this will shorten the battery life. Battery life indicator When the second hand starts moving at two-second intervals instead of the normal one-second interval, replace the battery with a new one as soon as possible. Otherwise, the watch will stop operating in a couple of days. Time accuracy is not affected even if the hands are moving at two-second intervals. While the second hand is moving at two-second intervals, the date will not change. Checking and adjustment of the calendar after battery change After the battery is replaced, be sure to check that the calendar is correct. If the watch does not indicate the year, month and date correctly adjust the calendar (see `How To Check And Adjust The Calendar). How to check and adjust calendar 1) Pull crown out to first click. 2) Zero Matching. The Second Position The second hand moves to the initially set zero position which should be exactly at the 12 o'clock. The calendar disk also moves to the initially set zero position within this stage. 3) Zero Matching the Calendar Disk. The calendar disk swings back and forth for one time to show that you are adjusting the zero position of the calendar disk. The calendar disk should show the initially set zero position which is `1'. Then press the button. 4) Adjusting the Date. [. . . ] SERVICE CENTRES General enquiries relating to any consumer and retailer watch and/or clock repair issues.
