USER’S GUIDE 2534/2654

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.

•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 no 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.

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

•The watch’s built-in full automatic calendar automatically makes allowances for different month lengths and leap years. Once you set the date, there should be no reason to change it except when battery power drops to Level 5.

World Time

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

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

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

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 runs down the battery.

Auto light switch precautions

•Wearing the watch on the inside of your wrist and 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 degrees too high

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