•Frequent use of illumination runs down the battery.

To turn on illumination manually

In any mode (except when a setting screen is on the display), press B to turn on illumination.

•You can use the procedure below to select either one second or three seconds as the illumination duration. When you press B, the illumination will remain on for about one second or three seconds, depending on the current illumination duration setting.

To specify the illumination duration

1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down Auntil the seconds start to flash, which indicates the setting screen.

Auto Return Feature

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.

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 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.

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

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