General Functions (All Modes)

Timekeeping

The functions and operations described in this section can be used in all of the modes.

Auto Return Features

ξThe watch returns to the Timekeeping Mode automatically if you do not perform any button operation for two or three minutes in the Alarm Mode.

ξIf you leave the watch in a setting mode (with fl ashing digits) for two or three minutes without performing any operation, the watch will exit the setting mode automatically.

Initial Screens

When you enter the World Time or Alarm Mode, the data you were viewing when you last exited the mode appears first.

Scrolling

The B and D buttons are used in the setting mode to scroll through data. In most cases, holding down these buttons during a scroll operation scrolls through the data at high speed.

Configuring Home City Settings

There are two Home City settings: actually selecting the Home City, and selecting either standard time or daylight saving time (DST).

City code

To configure Home City settings

1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down A for about

 

 

two seconds until ADJ appears in the right digital dial.

When you release A, the city code and city name will scroll across the right digital dial. This is the setting mode.

ξThe watch will exit the setting mode automatically if you do not perform any operation for about two or three minutes.

ξFor details about city codes, see the “City Code Table” at the back of this manual.

ξWhenever you enter a setting mode, the analog hands will automatically move to positions that allow easier viewing of the digital dials.

ξNote that you cannot switch between standard time and daylight saving time (DST) while UTC is selected as your Home City.

5.After the setting is the way you want, press A to return to the Timekeeping Mode.

ξThe DST indicator appears to indicate that Daylight Saving Time is turned on.

ξExiting a setting mode will normally cause the hands to return to regular timekeeping automatically. However, if you manually move the hands (page E-79) and then enter a setting mode, they will not return to regular timekeeping automatically when you exit the setting mode. In this case, you will need to return the hands to their normal positions manually (page E-80).

Note

ξAfter you specify a city code, the watch will use UTC* offsets in the World Time Mode to calculate the current time for other time zones based on the current time in your Home City.

* Coordinated Universal Time, the world-wide scientifi c standard of timekeeping. The reference point for UTC is Greenwich, England.

ξSelecting some city codes automatically makes it possible for the watch to receive the time calibration signal for the corresponding area. See page E-21 for details.

To change the Daylight Saving Time (summer time) setting

1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down A for about

two seconds until ADJ appears in the right digital dial. When you release A, the city code and city name will scroll across the right digital dial. This is the setting mode.
