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).

The watch returns to the Timekeeping Mode automatically if you do not perform any button operation for two or three minutes in the Sunrise/Sunset, Data Recall, Alarm, or Digital Compass Mode.

If you leave a screen with flashing digits on the display for two or three minutes without performing any operation, the watch exits the setting screen automatically.

Initial Screens

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

Scrolling

The A and C buttons are used on the setting screen 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.

Timekeeping

Use the Timekeeping Mode to set and view the current time and date.

Pressing E while in the Timekeeping Mode will cycle through the Timekeeping Mode display formats as shown below.
