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 automatically displayed 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 battery replaced or when battery power drops to Level 5.

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

•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

•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 battery.
