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) setting1.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.

Initial Screens

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.
