Alarm

The alarm sounds at the preset time each day while the

the city you specify in the Alarm Mode.

Alarm Mode, enter the World Time Mode, display the

city zone you want to use (to select it), and then enter

the Alarm Mode to set the alarm.

Time (summer time) is turned on for the city that is specified in the Alarm Mode.

Reference

This section contains more detailed and technical information about watch operation.

It also contains important precautions and notes about the various features and

functions of this watch.

Auto return features

• If you leave a screen with a flashing setting or a cursor for two or three minutes

without performing any operation, the watch automatically saves any settings you

have made up to that point and exits the setting screen.

• If you leave the watch in the Day Counter Mode or Telememo Mode for two or three

minutes without performing any operation, it automatically changes to the

Timekeeping Mode.

Data and Setting Scrolling

The D button is used in various modes and setting screens to scroll through data on

the display. In most cases, holding down this button during a scroll operation scrolls

through the data at high speed.

Initial Screens

When you enter the World Time, Day Counter or Telememo Mode, the data you were

viewing when you last exited the mode appears first.

World Time

• The current time in all World Time Mode cities is calculated in accordance with the

Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) differential for each city, based on the current Home

City time setting in the Timekeeping Mode.

• The GMT differential is the time difference between the time zone where the city is

located and Greenwich Mean Time.

• GMT differential is calculated by this watch based on Universal Time Coordinated

(UTC) data.

Backlight Precautions

The backlight uses an LED (light-emitting diode) and a light guide panel that cause

the entire display to glow for easy reading in the dark. In any mode, press B to

illuminate the display for about three seconds.

• The illumination provided by the backlight may be hard to see when viewed under

direct sunlight.

• The backlight automatically turns off whenever an alarm sounds.

• Frequent use of the backlight shortens the battery life.
