4. Press Ato exit the setting screen.

•When you exit the setting screen, the analog hands are adjusted automatically to match the digital time. See “Analog Timekeeping” for more information.

Note

•Auto DST (A t ) can be selected only while HNL, ANC, YVR, LAX, YEA,

DEN, MEX, YWG, CHI, MIA, YTO, NYC, YHZ, YYT, HKG, SEL, or

TYO is selected as the Home City code. For more information, see “Daylight Saving Time (DST)” below.

Daylight Saving Time (DST)

Daylight Saving Time (summer time) advances the digital 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 Fort Collins 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 Fort Collins signal.

•The default DST setting is Auto DST (A t ) whenever you select ANC, YVR,

LAX, YEA, DEN, MEX, YWG, CHI, MIA, YTO, NYC, YHZ, YYT, or

TYO as your Home City code.

•If you experience problems receiving the time calibration signal in your area, it is probably 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 A until the city code starts to flash, which indicates the setting screen.

2.Press Conce and the DST setting screen appears.

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

Time is turned on.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Analog Timekeeping

The analog time of this watch is synchronized with the digital time. The analog time setting is adjusted automatically whenever you change the digital time.

Note

•The hands for the analog timepiece move to adjust to a new setting whenever any of the following occurs.

When you change the digital time setting manually

When the digital time setting is changed by time calibration signal reception When you change the Home City code and/or DST setting

•If the analog time does not match the digital time for any reason, use the procedure described under “To adjust the analog time” to match the analog setting to the digital setting.

•Whenever you need to adjust both the digital and the analog time settings manually, make sure you adjust the digital setting first.

•Depending on how much the hands have to move in order to adjust to the digital time, it may take some time before they stop moving.

To adjust the analog time

 

 

 

 

 

1. In the Timekeeping Mode, press C five times to enter

 

the Hand Setting Mode.

 

2. Hold down Auntil the current digital time starts to

•The minute hand will be adjusted slightly to match the seconds when you exit the setting screen.

•To return to the Timekeeping Mode, press C.

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.

Auto Display

Auto Display continually changes the contents of the digital display.

To turn off Auto Display

Press any button to turn off Auto Display. This returns to the Timekeeping Mode.

To turn on Auto Display

In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down Cfor about two seconds until the watch beeps.

Note

•Calibration signal reception is disabled while Auto Display is being performed.

•Auto Display cannot be performed while a setting screen is on the display.

Auto Return Features

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

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

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 Mode, the data you were viewing when you last exited the mode appears first.

Radio-controlled Atomic Timekeeping Precautions

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

•Even when the watch is within the reception range of the transmitter, signal reception will be impossible if the signal is blocked by mountains or other geological formations between the watch and signal source.

•Signal reception is affected by weather, atmospheric conditions, and seasonal changes.

•The time calibration signal bounces 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 manually.

•The watch is designed to automatically update the date and day of the week for the period January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2099. Setting of the date by the time calibration signal cannot be performed starting from January 1, 2100.

•This watch can receive signals that differentiate between leap years and non-leap years.

•If you are in an area where proper time calibration signal reception is impossible, the watch keeps time within ±15 seconds a month at normal temperature.

•If you have problems with proper time calibration signal reception or if the time setting is wrong after signal reception, check your current city code, DST (summer time), and auto receive settings. The following are the initial factory defaults for these settings.

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 day of the week is automatically displayed in accordance with the date (year, month, and day) settings.

•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.

•The current time for all city codes in the Timekeeping Mode and World Time Mode is calculated in accordance with the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) differential for each city, based on your Home City time setting.

•GMT differential is calculated by this watch based on Universal Time Coordinated

(UTC*) data.

*UTC 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. The reference point for UTC is Greenwich, England.

12-hour/24-hour Timekeeping Formats

The 12-hour/24-hour timekeeping format you select in the Timekeeping Mode is also applied in all other modes.

•With the 12-hour format, the PM indicator (P) 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.

Illumination Precautions

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

•Illumination automatically turns off whenever an alarm sounds.

•Frequent use of illumination runs down the battery.
