Operation Guide 3319/3781

Scrolling

The B and D buttons 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 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.

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.

•With the 12-hour format, the P (PM) indicator appears on the display for times in the range of noon to 11:59 p.m. and no indicator appears for times in the range of midnight to 11:59 a.m.

•With the 24-hour format, times are displayed in the range of 0:00 to 23:59, without any indicator.

•The year can be set in the range of 2000 to 2039.

•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 batteries replaced.

World Time

•The World Time Mode times are calculated from the current Home City time setting in the Timekeeping Mode, using the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) differentials associated with each city code.

•The GMT differential is a value that indicates the time difference between Greenwich Mean Time and the time zone where a city is located.

•GMT differential is calculated by this watch based on Universal Time Coordinated (UTC) data.

Illumination Precautions

•The electro-luminescent panel that provides illumination loses power after very long use.

•Display illumination may be hard to see when viewed under direct sunlight.

•The watch may emit an audible sound whenever the display is illuminated. This is due to vibration of the EL panel used for illumination, and does not indicate malfunction.

•Illumination automatically turns off whenever an alarm sounds.

•Frequent use of the light shortens the battery life.

Auto light switch precautions

More than 15 degrees

• Avoid wearing the watch on the inside of your wrist.

Doing so causes the auto light switch to operate when it

too high

is not needed, which shortens battery life. If you want to

 

 

wear the watch on the inside of your wrist, turn off the

 

auto light switch feature.

 

• Illumination may not turn on if the face of the watch is

 

more than 15 degrees above or below parallel. Make

 

sure that the back of your hand is parallel to the ground.

•Illumination turns off in about one second or three seconds, even if you keep the watch pointed towards your face.

•Static electricity or magnetic force can interfere with proper operation of the auto light switch. If illumination does not turn on, try moving the watch back to the starting position (parallel with the ground) and then tilt it back towards you again. If this does not work, drop your arm all the way down so it hangs at your side, and then bring it back up again.

•Under certain conditions, illumination may not turn on until about one second after you turn the face of the watch towards you. This does not necessarily indicate malfunction of the auto light switch.

•You may notice a very faint clicking sound coming from the watch when it is shaken back and forth. This sound is caused by mechanical operation of the auto light switch, and does not indicate a problem with the watch.
