Auto Correction of Hand Home Positions
Strong magnetism or impact can cause the hands of the watch to be off, even if the watch is able to
perform the signal receive operation. This watch performs an auto correction procedure to ensure that the
hands are always in the correct positions.

performed if the watch is in the Timekeeping Mode while a Countdown Timer Mode operation is in
progress.

minutes.

correction of hand home positions” (page E-87) for more information.
• Auto correction of hand home positions can take up to three and a half minutes to complete.

correction of hand home positions” (page E-87) or “Adjusting Home Positions Manually” (page E-88).
