Operation Guide 5240

E-49

Important!

When

x

TYO (TOKYO) is selected as the Home City, the temperature unit is set

automatically to Celsius (°C). These settings cannot be changed.
If you do not perform any operation with the crown for about two minutes after

x

pulling it out, crown operations will become disabled and the watch hands will no
longer move when you rotate the crown. If this happens, push the crown back in
and then pull it out again.

Correcting the Temperature Reading

The temperature sensor of this watch is adjusted at the factory and so further
adjustment is not required by you. However, if you notice that the readings produced
by the watch are different from readings produced by another instrument, you can use
the procedure in this section to make corrections. You also can use this procedure to
clear a correction.

E-48

Measurement unit: 1°C (or 2°F)
Measurement range*: –10 to 60°C (or 14 to 140°F)

If a reading produces a value that is outside the measurement range, the

*

z Hour

Hand,

x Second Hand, c Minute Hand, and v Upper Dial Hand all point to 11.

If you have performed correction of the temperature reading (page E-49), canceling
the correction may cause a reading to be outside the measurement range.

To switch a temperature reading unit between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F)

While the hands are indicating a temperature reading, pull out the crown.

1.

Hold down

2.

A for about two seconds.

This will toggle the temperature reading unit between Celsius (°C) and

Fahrenheit (°F), causing the

z Hour Hand, x Second Hand, c Minute Hand,

and

v Upper Dial Hand to move accordingly.

Push the crown back in.

3.

After about ten seconds, the watch will resume regular timekeeping.

E-47

Fahrenheit (°F)

2.

A.

another reading.
To cancel an ongoing temperature measurement operation, press

B or C.

About 10 seconds after the hands move to indicate a temperature reading, they

will go back to regular timekeeping automatically.

E-46
