Setting the Time and Date

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.

To set the time and date

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 signal transmitted from Mainflingen and Rugby includes 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 () whenever you select LIS, LON, BCN, MAD, PAR, MIL, ROM, BER, STO, or ATH as your Home City code.

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

To change the Daylight Saving Time (summer time) setting

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

2.Press Cand the DST setting screen appears.

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

Reference

This section contains more detailed and technical information about watch operation. It also contains important precautions and notes about the various features and functions of this watch.

Button Operation Tone

The button operation tone sounds any time you press one of the watch’s buttons. You can turn the button operation tone on or off as desired.

Even if you turn off the button operation tone, the alarm, Hourly Time Signal, and Countdown Timer Mode alarm all operate normally.

To turn the button operation tone on and off

In any mode (except when a setting screen is on the

MUTE indicator display), hold down Cto toggle the button operation tone on (MUTE not displayed) and off (MUTE displayed).

Since the C button is also the mode change button, holding it down to turn the button operation tone on or off also causes the watch’s current mode to change.

The MUTE indicator is displayed in all modes when the button operation tone is turned off.

Power Saving Function

When turned on, the Power Saving function enters a sleep state automatically 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.

Wearing the watch inside the sleeve of clothing can cause it to enter the sleep state.

The watch will not enter the sleep state between 6:00 AM and 10:59 PM. If the watch is already in the sleep state when 6:00 AM arrives, however, it will remain in the sleep state.

To recover from the sleep state

Perform any one of the following operations.

Move the watch to a well-lit area.

Press any button.

Angle the watch towards your face for reading.

Auto Return Features

If you leave the watch in the Alarm Mode for two or three minutes without performing any operation, it returns to the Timekeeping Mode automatically.

If you leave the watch with a flashing setting on the display for two or three minutes without performing any operation, the watch exits the setting screen automatically.

Scrolling

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

Initial Screens

When you enter the World Time or Alarm Mode, the data you were viewing when you last exited the mode appears first.

Radio-controlled Timekeeping Precautions

Strong electrostatic charge can result in the wrong time being set.

The time calibration signal is bounced off the ionosphere. Because of this, such factors as changes in the reflectivity of the ionosphere, as well as movement of the ionosphere to higher altitudes due to seasonal atmospheric changes or the time of day may change the reception range of the signal and make reception temporarily impossible.

Even if the time calibration signal is received properly, certain conditions can cause the time setting to be off by up to one second.

The current time setting in accordance with the time calibration signal takes priority over any time settings you make.
