Resolució de problemes

• Watch is not running or hands are stopped: The watch may be low on charge. Expose the watch face to bright light for several hours. Check the battery level indicator.
• Hands are not aligned correctly (e.g., stopwatch hands not resetting to zero): This may require a hand home position correction. Refer to the full Casio module manual for detailed instructions on performing a hand home position correction. This typically involves pulling the crown out to a specific click and using the pushers to adjust the hand positions.
• Stopwatch defaults to an incorrect time (e.g., 54 seconds): This indicates a misaligned stopwatch hand home position. Perform a hand home position correction as described in the full module manual. If the issue persists after correction, contact Casio customer support.
• Date changes at an incorrect time: Adjust the date during the daytime (e.g., between 9 AM and 9 PM) to ensure it changes at midnight. If the date is changing at noon, advance the time by 12 hours.
