2.To change the UTC differential value, press Cwhile a UTC differential value is on the display to scroll eastward through time zones.

Note that if you do not press C to scroll within two seconds after displaying a UTC differential value, the display will change automatically to the current time based on the currently displayed UTC differential value.

3.When the UTC differential value you want is on the display, do not perform any button operation for about two seconds. This will cause the current time to appear, which will be based on the UTC differential value you selected.

To toggle a time zone time between Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time

Note that you cannot switch between Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time while UTC is selected as the time zone.

Note that you cannot use the Dual Time Mode to change the DST setting of the Home Time Zone you currently have selected in the Timekeeping Mode. See “To change the Daylight Saving Time (summer time) setting” for information about turning the Home Time Zone DST setting on and off.
