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

•See the “Day of the Week List” for information on abbreviations used.

•Holding down A in the Timekeeping Mode displays the indicator for the currently selected language. Keeping Adepressed for about two seconds changes to the

Timekeeping Mode setting screen (indicated by the seconds flashing). If you display accidentally the setting screen, press Aagain to exit.

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 will switch between Standard Time and DST (summer time) automatically in accordance with the signals.

•The time calibration signals transmitted from Fukushima and Fukuoka/Saga (Japan) do not include summer time data.

•The default DST setting is Auto DST (AUTO) whenever you select LIS, LON, MAD, PAR, ROM, BER, STO, ATH, MOW, HKG, BJS, TPE, SEL, TYO, HNL, ANC, YVR, LAX, YEA, DEN, MEX, YWG, CHI, MIA, YTO, NYC, YHZ, or YYT 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 Auntil the city code starts to flash, which indicates the setting screen.

2.Press Conce and the DST setting screen appears.

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.

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.

Button Operation Tone

Mute indicator

The button operation tone sounds any time you press one

of the watch’s buttons. You can turn the button operation

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

tone on or off as desired.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Even if you turn off the button operation tone, the alarm,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hourly Time Signal, and Countdown Timer Mode alarm

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

all operate normally.

To turn the button operation tone on and off

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

•Since the C button is also the mode change button, holding it down to turn the button operation on or off also causes the watch’s current mode to change.

•The mute indicator will be displayed in all modes when the button operation tone is turned off.

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 will return to the Timekeeping Mode automatically.

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

Scrolling

The Band 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 will appear first.

Radio-controlled Atomic Timekeeping Precautions

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

•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 update the date and day of the week automatically 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.

•Though this watch is designed to receive both time data (hour, minutes, seconds) and date data (year, month, day), certain signal conditions can limit reception to time data only.

•Normally, the signal reception date shown by the Last Signal screen is the date data included in the received time calibration signal. When only time data is received, however, the Last Signal screen will show the date as kept in the Timekeeping Mode at the time of signal reception.

•If you are in an area where proper time calibration signal reception is impossible, the watch keeps time within ±30 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.

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 displayed automatically 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 batteries replaced.

•The times for the Timekeeping Mode and all the city codes of the World Time Mode are calculated in accordance with each city’s UTC differential.

•The UTC differential 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 “Universal Time Coordinated”, 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.

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

•An LED (light-emitting diode) and light guide panel illuminate the digital display for

easy reading in the dark. In any mode (except when a setting screen is on the display), press B to illuminate the display.

•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 batteries.
