Operation Guide 5262

ξThough the v Left Dial Hand is stopped while an elapsed time measurement

operation is in progress, the watch keeps track of the 1/100-second count internally. The v Left Dial Hand will jump to the current 1/100-second reading whenever you stop the stopwatch or perform a split time operation (page E-48).

Checking the Current Time in a Different Time Zone

You can use the World Time Mode to view the current time in one of 29 time zones around the globe. Each time zone has a “city code”, which is a three-letter abbreviation of a representative city in the zone. The representative city of the time zone that is currently selected in the World Time Mode is called the “World Time City”.

Hand Functions

xSecond Hand: Indicates the currently selected World

Time City.

v Left Dial Hand: Indicates the current STD (standard

 

time) or DST (daylight saving time)

 

setting of the currently selected World



Time City.

n Right Dial Hands: Indicate the current time in the

 

 

selected World Time City in 24-hour

 

format.

To specify standard time or daylight saving time (DST) for a city

1.Use Cto move the v Left Dial Hand to STD or DST.

ξThe x Second Hand will move to the city code of the currently selected World Time City.

2.Use Dto move the x Second Hand to the city code you want to select as the World Time City.

ξThe n Right Dial Hands will move to the current time in the currently selected World Time City. At this time, the z Hour Hand and c Minute Hand will continue to indicate the current time in the Home City.

ξFor full information on city codes, see the “City Code Table” at the back of this manual.

ξIf you think that the time indicated for the selected World Time City is not correct, it probably means that there is something wrong with your Home City settings. Use the procedure under “To configure Home City settings” (page E-33) to correct the Home City settings.

1.In the World Time Mode, use Dto select the city code whose setting you want to change.

ξWait until the n Right Dial Hands complete their move to the time in the currently selected World Time City. You will not be able to perform step 2 of this procedure until the hands stop moving.

2.Hold down Afor about two seconds until the watch beeps. This will cause the v Left Dial Hand to toggle between DST (daylight saving time) and STD (standard time).

ξNote that you cannot switch between STD (standard time)/DST (daylight saving/summer time) while UTC is selected as the World Time City.

ξNote that the STD (standard time)/DST (daylight saving/summer time) setting affects only the currently selected time zone. Other time zones are not affected.

ξAuto correction of hand home positions can take up to three and a half minutes to complete.

ξIf hand positions are off by one hour or more, correct them using the procedure under “To trigger auto correction of hand home positions” (page E-60) or “Adjusting
