Setting the Time and Date Manually

Make sure you select your Home City code before you change the current time and date settings. World Time Mode times are all displayed in accordance with the Timekeeping Mode settings. Because of this, World Time Mode times will not be correct if you do not select the proper Home City code before setting the time and date in the Timekeeping Mode.

When setting the time and date, you can also configure settings for the transmitter, your Home City code (the code for the city where you normally use the watch), summer time (Daylight Saving time or DST), the 12/24-hour format, and power saving on/off.

Note

The “Transmitter Mode” setting specifies the time calibration signal transmitter mode, or turns auto receive off. See “Transmitters” for more information.

Auto DST (AUtO) can be selected only while LON, PAR, BER, or ATH is selected as the Home City code. For more information, see “Daylight Saving Time (DST)” below.

Daylight Saving Time (DST)

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

The time calibration signals transmitted from Rugby and Mainflingen include both Standard Time and DST data. When the Auto DST setting is turned on, the watch switches between Standard Time and DST (summer time) automatically in accordance with the received time signal.

The default DST setting is Auto DST (AUtO) whenever you select LON, PAR, BER, 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.
