In any mode (except when a setting screen is on the display), hold down Cto toggle the button operation tone on (the MUTE indicator not displayed) and off (the MUTE indicator displayed).

•Holding down Cto 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.

Scrolling

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

Auto Return Features

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

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

Timekeeping

•Resetting the seconds to 00 while the current count is in the range of 30 to 59 causes the minutes to be increased by 1. In the range of 00 to 29, the seconds are reset to 00 without changing the minutes.

•The year can be set in the range of 2000 to 2099.

•The watch’s built-in full automatic calendar 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 battery replaced.

World Time

•The seconds count of the World Time is synchronized with the seconds count of the Timekeeping Mode.

•All World Time Mode times are calculated from the current Home City Time in the Timekeeping Mode using UTC time offset values.

•The UTC offset is a value that indicates the time difference between a reference point in Greenwich, England and the time zone where a city is located.

•The letters “UTC” is the abbreviation for “Coordinated Universal Time”, which is the world-wide scientific standard of timekeeping. It is based upon carefully maintained atomic (cesium) clocks that keep time accurately to within microseconds. Leap seconds are added or subtracted as necessary to keep UTC in sync with the Earth’s rotation.
