Illumination

This watch has an EL (electro-luminescent) panel that causes the entire display to glow for easy reading in the dark.

Illumination Precautions

ξ The electro-luminescent panel that provides illumination loses power after very long use.

ξIllumination may be hard to see when viewed under direct sunlight.

ξThe watch may emit an audible sound whenever the display is illuminated. This is due to vibration of the EL panel used for illumination, and does not indicate malfunction.

ξIllumination automatically turns off whenever an alarm sounds.

ξFrequent use of illumination runs down the battery.

To illuminate the display

In any mode, press L to turn on illumination.

ξYou can use the procedure below to select either 1.5 seconds or 3 seconds as the illumination duration. When you press L, the illumination will remain on for about 1.5 seconds or 3 seconds, depending on the current illumination duration setting.

To specify the illumination duration

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

2. While the seconds are flashing, press B to toggle the illumination duration between 1.5 seconds () and

3 seconds ().

Initial Screens

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

World Time

ξThe seconds count of the World Time is synchronized with the seconds count of the Timekeeping Mode.

ξAll World Time Mode times are calculated from the current Home City time in the Timekeeping Mode using UTC time differential values.

ξThe 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.

ξThe letters “UTC” is the abbreviation for “Coordinated Universal Time”, 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.
