Auto DST (Summer Time) Switching

The time calibration signal transmitted from Mainflingen, Germany includes both Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time (summer time) data. When auto DST (summer time) switching is turned on, the watch switches between Standard Time and DST (summer time) automatically in accordance with the calibration signal.

•Daylight Saving Time (DST) advances the time setting by one hour from Standard Time. Remember that not all countries or even local areas use Daylight Saving Time.

•When using the watch within the reception range of the Mainflingen transmitter, and BER, PAR, LON, or ATH is selected as the Home City code, select Auto DST to turn on the auto DST (summer time) setting.

•The default DST setting is Auto DST whenever you select BER, PAR, LON or ATH as your Home City code.

•If you experience problems receiving the time calibration signal in your area, it is probably best to switch between Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time (summer time) manually.

•See “To set the current time and date manually” for information about configuring DST (summer time) settings manually.

To change the Daylight Saving Time (summer time) setting

1.In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down A until the city code starts to flash, which indicates the setting screen.

2.Press C and the DST (summer time) setting screen appears.

3.Use Dto cycle through the DST settings in the sequence shown below.

Timekeeping

•The day of the week is automatically displayed in accordance with the date (year, month, and day) settings.

•The year can be set in the range of 2000 to 2099.

•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 or when battery power drops to Level 4.

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

•GMT differential is calculated by this watch based on UTC* data.

*The letters “UTC” stands for “Universal Time Coordinated,” which is the world-wide scientific standard of timekeeping. It is based upon carefully maintained atomic (cesium) clocks that keep accurate to within microseconds. Leap seconds are added or subtracted as necessary to keep UTC in sync with the Earth’s rotation. The reference point for UTC is Greenwich, England.

12-hour/24-hour Timekeeping Formats

The 12-hour/24-hour timekeeping format you select in the Timekeeping Mode is also applied in all other modes.

•With the 12-hour format, the P (PM) indicator appears on the display for times in the range of noon to 11:59 p.m. and the A (AM) indicator appears for times in the range of midnight to 11:59 a.m.

•With the 24-hour format, times are displayed in the range of 0:00 to 23:59, without any indicator.

Power Saving Function

When turned on, the Power Saving function automatically enters a sleep state whenever the watch is left in an area where it is dark for a certain period. The table below shows how watch functions are affected by the Power Saving function.

• The Power Saving on indicator is on the display in all

 

modes while the Power Saving is turned on.

Backlight Precautions

•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 operating time.

Auto light switch precautions

•Wearing the watch on the inside of your wrist as well as movement or vibration of your arm can cause the auto light switch to activate and illuminate the display. To avoid running down the battery, turn off the auto light switch whenever engaging in activities that might cause frequent illumination of the display.

More than 15

• The backlight may not light if the face of the watch is

degrees too high

more than 15 degrees above or below parallel. Make

 

sure that the back of your hand is parallel to the ground.

 

• The backlight turns off in about one second, even if you

 

keep the watch pointed towards your face.

 

• Static electricity or magnetic force can interfere with

 

proper operation of the auto light switch. If the backlight

 

does not light, try moving the watch back to the starting

 

position (parallel with the ground) and then tilt it back

 

toward you again. If this does not work, drop your arm

 

all the way down so it hangs at your side, and then bring

 

it back up again.

•Under certain conditions, the backlight may not light until about one second after you turn the face of the watch towards you. This does not necessarily indicate malfunction of the backlight.

•You may notice a very faint clicking sound coming from the watch when it is shaken back and forth. This sound is caused by mechanical operation of the auto light switch, and does not indicate a problem with the watch.
