The digital times displayed in the Timekeeping Mode and World Time Mode are linked. Because of this, make sure you select a city code for your Home City (the city where you normally use the watch).

•This watch features separate digital and analog timekeeping. Note that the digital time and analog time are independent of each other, and must be set separately.

Note

•Resetting the seconds only (without changing the hour or minute setting) causes the analog minute hand setting to be adjusted automatically. If you change the hour or minute setting, you should also use the procedure under “To adjust the analog time” to adjust the analog hands accordingly.

•With the 12-hour format, the P (PM) indicator appears to the left of the hour digits for times in the range of noon to 11:59 p.m. and no indicator appears to the left of the hour digits 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 12-hour/24-hour timekeeping format you select in the Timekeeping Mode is applied in all modes.

•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 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 after you have the watch’s batteries replaced.
