TIMEKEEPING MODE
In addition to normal timekeeping, use the Timekeeping
Mode to set the current time and date.
Setting the Current Time
Use the following procedure to select a city (city code) as
your Home City, and then set its time and date. You can
also specify whether you prefer to use 12-hour or 24-hour
timekeeping for all screens that show times.
Changing the city code setting usually changes the time
setting and sometimes changes the date setting. Because
of this, you should select your Home City before setting
time and date.
Once you select a Home City and set its time, you can
view the current time in other cities by simply changing
the city code setting.

ABOUT THE BACKLIGHT
About the Auto Light Switch Function
When the auto light switch function is turned on, the backlight automatically turns on for
1.5 seconds under the conditions described below. Avoid wearing the watch on the
inside of your wrist. Doing so causes the auto light switch to operate when not needed,
which shortens battery life.
Moving the watch to a position that is parallel to the ground and then tilting it
towards you approximately 40 degrees causes the backlight to illuminate.
The backlight may not illuminate if the face of the watch is more than 15 degrees off
parallel to the left or right. Make sure that the back of your hand is parallel to the
ground.
Parallel to ground More than 15 degrees More than 15 degrees
too high too low
Static electricity or magnetic force can interfere with proper operation of the auto light
switch function. If the backlight does not illuminate, try moving the watch back to the
starting position (parallel with the ground) and then tilt it back toward you again. If this
does not work, drop your arm all the way down so it hangs at your side, and then bring
it back up again.
Under certain conditions the backlight may not light until about one second or less
after turning the face of the watch towards you. This does not necessarily indicate
malfunction of the backlight.
To switch the auto light switch function on and off
In any mode (except for the Memo Mode or when making any settings), hold down
AA
AA
A for
two seconds to turn the auto light switch function on and off.
The auto light switch indicator is shown on the display in all modes while the auto light
switch function is on.
In order to protect against running down the battery, the auto light switch function is
automatically turned off approximately five hours after you turn it on. Repeat the above
procedure to turn the auto light switch function back on if you want.
In any mode (except for the Memo Mode or when making any settings) press
AA
AA
A to
illuminate the display for about 1.5 seconds, regardless of the auto light switch's on/off
setting.
Caution
The backlight of this watch employs an electro-luminescent (EL) light, which loses its
illuminating power after very long term use.
Frequent use of the backligfht shortens the battery life.
The watch emits an audible sound whenever the display is illuminated. This is be-
cause the EL light vibrates slightly when lit. It does not indicate malfunction of the
watch.
Warning!
Never try to read your watch when mountain climbing or hiking in areas that are
dark or in areas with poor footing. Doing so is dangerous and can result in
serious personal injury.
Never try to read your watch when running where there is the danger of acci-
dents, especially in locations where there might be vehicular or pedestrian traf-
fic. Doing so is dangerous and can result in serious personal injury.
Never try to read your watch when riding on a bicycle or when operating a mo-
torcycle or any other motor vehicle. Doing so is dangerous and can result in a
traffic accident and serious personal injury.
When you are wearing the watch, make sure that its auto light switch function is
turned off before riding on a bicycle or operating a motorcycle or any other
motor vehicle. Sudden and unintended operation of the auto light switch can
create a distraction, which can result in a traffic accident and serious personal
injury.
