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 Mainflingen (Germany), Anthorn (England), or Fort Collins (the United States) 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 signals.

Though the time calibration signals transmitted by the Fukushima and Fukuoka/ Saga, Japan transmitters include summer time data, summer time currently is not implemented in Japan (as of 2008).

The default DST setting is Auto DST ( ) whenever you select LIS, LON, MAD, PAR, ROM, BER, STO, ATH, MOW, TYO, ANC, YVR, LAX, YEA, DEN, MEX, CHI, NYC, YHZ, or YYT 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.

3.Press D(forward) and B(back) to scroll through the tide site names until the one you want is displayed.

If the tide site name is longer than four characters, the name will scroll from right to left on the display.

A tide site that does not have any data assigned to it displays the name “USER”.

4.When all of the settings are the way you want, press A to exit the setting screen.

The tide graph in the Timekeeping Mode shows information for the site you select here.

The tide site candidates are those with the same UTC differential as the current Home City. If you cannot find the site you want, you can select “USER”.

Only “USER” sites may be available for some city codes.

Setting an accurate high tide time will allow the watch to produce accurate tide readings. Especially when “USER” is selected as the site, make sure that you input an accurate high tide time (page E-38).

Only a “USER” site can be selected while UTC is selected as the Home City.
