Before you can use the Direction Mode to determine a direction, you must first configure the watch for your current location. You need to
specify the name (city code), latitude, longitude, GMT differential, of your current location, and the solar direction from your location.
• For information about specifying your city code, latitude, longitude, and GMT differential, see “Sunrise/Sunset Mode”.
• The Direction Mode uses the same city code, latitude, longitude, and GMT differential settings as those used by the Sunrise/Sunset
Mode. If you have already configured these settings for Sunrise/Sunset Mode operations, you need only to configure the solar
direction here.
• The factory default configuration of the Direction Mode settings is: City: Tokyo; Latitude: North 35 degrees; Longitude: East 140
degrees; GMT Differential: +9 hours; Solar Direction: South.
❚ To specify the solar direction

direction when any of the following conditions exist.
• When the sun is not visible
• At night or when the sun is below the horizon
• When the sun is not to the north or south, or if you do not know
where the sun is
