Auto Return Features

•If you leave the watch in the e-DATA MEMORY, City Temperature, or Alarm Mode for two or three minutes without performing any operation, it automatically changes to the Timekeeping Mode.

•If you leave a screen with flashing digits or a cursor on the display for two or three minutes without performing any operation, the watch automatically saves any settings you have made up to that point and exits the setting screen.

Scrolling

The B and D buttons are used in various modes and setting screens to scroll through data on the display. In most cases, holding down these buttons during a scroll operation scrolls at high speed.

Initial Screens

When you enter the e-DATA MEMORY, World Time, or City Temperature Mode, the data you were viewing when you last exited the mode appears first.

Timekeeping

•Resetting the seconds to 00 while the current count is in the range of 30 to 59 causes the minutes to be increased by 1. In the range of 00 to 29, the seconds are reset to 00 without changing the minutes.

•The year can be set in the range of 2000 to 2039.

•The watch’s built-in full automatic calendar makes allowances for different month lengths and leap years. Once you set the date, there should be no reason to change it except after you have the watch’s battery replaced.

World Time

•The seconds count of the World Time is synchronized with the seconds count of the Timekeeping Mode.

•The world time that appears in the lower part of the Timekeeping Mode screen always uses 24-hour format, regardless of the watch’s current 12/24-hour setting.

•The current time in all World Time Mode cities is calculated in accordance with the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) differential for each city, based on the current Home City time setting in the Timekeeping Mode.

•The GMT differential is the time difference of the time zone where the city is located from Greenwich Mean Time.

•GMT differential is calculated by this watch based on Universal Time Coordinated (UTC) data.

Backlight Precautions

The backlight uses an EL (electro-luminescent) panel that causes the entire display to glow for easy reading in the dark.

In any mode, press L to illuminate the display for about two seconds.

•The electro-luminescent panel that provides illumination loses power after very long use.

•The illumination provided by the backlight may be hard to see when viewed under direct sunlight.

•The watch may emit an audible sound whenever the display is illuminated. This is due to vibration of the EL panel used for illumination, and does not indicate malfunction.

•The backlight automatically turns off whenever an alarm sounds.

•Frequent use of the backlight shortens the battery life.
