(Then, pull it out for setting the time or checking the calendar) q To screw in the crown: With the crown at the normal position, turn it clockwise while pressing it. TIME, DATE AND DAY SETTING q When setting the date and day, turn the crown counterclockwise to advance the date and day and clockwise to move them back. The date and day change one day by turning the hour hand two full circles. TIME/DATE SETTING q The date changes between 11:45 p. m. [AM/PM checking] When setting the hour hand, check that AM/PM is correctly set. * When setting the time by advancing the hands, turn the hour hand past the 3 o'clock marker. * When setting the time by turning back the hands, turn the hour hand past the 9 o'clock marker. If it does not change, the time is set for the AM period. 9 [Setting the time between 9:00 p. m. and 3:00 a. m. ] * If the time is adjusted to the time period between 9:00 p. m. * To prevent this from occurring, first turn back the hour hand past 9:00 p. m. , checking that the date moves back to the previous day, and then, advance the hands to the desired time. q When setting the minute hand, advance it 4 to 5 minutes ahead of the desired time and then turn it back to the exact time. English DAY SETTING q The day changes between 11:00 p. m. while the watch is in operation and also when it is changed manually by turning the hands. If it is necessary to set the day during that time period, first change the time to any time outside it, set the day and then reset the correct time. HOW TO CHECK THE CALENDAR q If the crown is pulled out to the second click instead of the first click and pushed back in to the normal position, the watch will not show the calendar. q Do not leave the crown at the first or second click when you use the watch, as this will shorten the battery life. q Note on the leap second One day normally is said to consist of 86, 400 seconds. In fact, it can be longer or shorter than this because of irregular changes in the rotation cycle of the earth. When the accumulated fluctuations in the length of a day total plus or minus one second, one 10 second must then be added or subtracted as a correction factor. The leap second correction is executed every year or two simultaneously throughout the world on the basis of information collected by astronomical observatories all over the world. GMT either on December 31 or on June 30, during which one second is added or subtracted. Please refer to your newspaper for information on the leap second. English BATTERY CHANGE 5 Years [Cal.
