Om automatisk belysning
När den automatiska belysningen är aktiverad, tänds belysningen alltid i klockans alla funktio-
ner när du vinklar klockan såsom beskrivs nedan.
Om du håller klockan parallellt mot marken och sedan vinklar den mer än 40 grader tänds
belysningen.
• Bär klockan på
handledens utsida.

Justering av grundposition för visare
Stark magnetism eller en kraftig stöt kan orsaka att indikatorskivan eller tim- och minutvisarna
visar fel. Om detta inträffar kan du justera med analoga avläsningar efter behov.
Att justera grundpositioner
1. I Tidvisningsfunktionen, tryck och håll inne A i ca fem sekunder
tills H-SET ( ) visas i den övre displayen och Sub ( ) visas i
den nedre displayen.
2. Kontrollera indikatorskivans position.
• Indikatorskivans grundposition är korrekt om den indikerar 60
(klockan-12-position). Om den inte är korrekt, använd knapparna D
(+) och B (–) för att justera den.
• När du har bekräftat att indikatorskivans grundposition är korrekt,
tryck C.

När du går till någon av funktionerna Stoppur, Världstid eller Alarm visas de data som du
tittade på när du lämnade funktionerna förra gången.
Tidvisning
• Om du nollställer sekundsiffrorna medan räknaren är inom intervallet 30 till 59 läggs 1 minut
till. Om intervallet är inom 00 till 29 nollställs sekundsiffrorna utan att minutsiffrorna ändras.
• Årtalet kan ställas inom intervallet 2000 till 2099.
• Klockans interna helautomatiska kalender tar med månadernas olika antal dagar och skottår
i beräkningen. När du har ställt in datumet bör det inte nnas någon anledning till att ändra det
förutom vid batteribyte.
• Den aktuella tiden för alla Stadskoder i Tidvisningsfunktionen och Världstidfunktionen
beräknas enligt UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) för varje stad, baserat på tidsinställningen
för din Hemstad.
E-38
• Statisk elektricitet eller magnetiska kraftfält kan störa den automatiska belysningen. Om
belysningen inte tänds ska du föra tillbaka klockan till ursprungsläget (parallellt med marken)
och sedan vinkla tillbaka den mot ditt ansikte. Om detta inte fungerar sänker du armen helt, så
att den hänger utmed sidan, och för sedan upp den på nytt.
• Under vissa förhållanden tar det en sekund innan belysningen tänds efter att du vänt klockan
mot dig. Detta behöver inte innebära att det är fel på den automatiska belysningen.
• Du kan höra ett svagt klickljud när klockan förs fram och tillbaka. Ljudet kommer från den
automatiska belysningens mekanik och är inte ett tecken på att det är fel på klockan.
E-40
Att ange belysningstid
1. I Tidvisningsfunktionen, tryck och håll inne A i ca två sekunder
tills ”SET” visas på displayen.
Observera att om du håller A intryckt för länge (i ca fem
sekunder) kommer klockan att växla till en annan typ av
inställningsfunktion (sida E-33).
2. Tryck C tio gånger för att visa den aktuella belysningstiden eller
3. Tryck D för att växla inställning mellan (1,5 sekunder) och (3

Varning!
• Se till att du benner dig på en säker plats om du tittar på displayen när den automatis-
ka belysningen är på. Var särskilt försiktig om du är ute och springer eller håller på med
någon annan aktivitet som kan leda till olycka eller personskada. Var också försiktig så
att den automatiska belysningen inte bländar eller stör personer i din närhet.
• När du har på dig klockan ska du kontrollera att den automatiska belysningen är avak-
tiverad innan du t.ex. börjar cykla, köra motorcykel eller annat motorfordon. Plötslig och
oavsiktlig tändning av den automatiska belysningen kan störa dig och därmed orsaka
trakolycka eller allvarlig personskada.
Att aktivera/avaktivera automatisk belysning
I Tidvisningsfunktionen, tryck och håll inne B i ca tre sekunder för att växla mellan aktivering
(indikatorn för automatisk belysning visas) och avaktivering (indikatorn för automatisk belysning
visas inte) av den automatiska belysningen.
• Indikatorn för automatisk belysning förblir tänd i alla funktioner när den automatiska belys-
ningen är aktiverad.
• För att spara på batteriet avaktiveras den automatiska belysningen ca sex timmar efter att du
aktiverat den. Upprepa ovanstående om du vill aktivera den automatiska belysningen igen.
E-32
3. Kontrollera tim- och minutvisarnas positioner.
• Visarnas grundposition är korrekt om de pekar på klockan 12. Om
de inte gör det, använd D (medurs) och B (moturs) för att justera
deras positioner.
4. När positionerna är korrekta, tryck A för att återgå till normal
tidvisning.

lämnar klockan inställningsfunktionen automatiskt.
• Klockan återgår automatiskt till Tidvisningsfunktionen om du inte utför någon åtgärd under två
eller tre minuter i Alarmfunktionen.
E-37
Försiktighetsåtgärder vid användning av belysningen
• Belysningen kan vara svår att se vid direkt solsken.
• Belysningen släcks automatiskt vid aktiverad alarmsignal.
• Belysningen släcks automatiskt beroende på den aktuella inställningen för belysningstiden.
• Om belysningen används ofta förkortas batteriets livslängd.
Försiktighetsåtgärder vid automatisk belysning
• Undvik att bära klockan på handledens insida. Den automatiska belysningen aktiveras annars
i onödan, vilket förkortar batteriets livslängd. Avaktivera den automatiska belysningsfunktionen
om du vill bära klockan på handledens insida.
• Belysningen tänds inte om klockan är mer än 15 grader över eller
under parallellinjen. Se därför till att handens ovansida är parallell
med marken.
• Belysningen släcks efter ca 1,5 sekunder eller 3 sekunder, även
om du fortsätter att hålla klockan vinklad mot ansiktet.

Initial Screens
When you enter the Stopwatch Mode, World Time Mode or Alarm Mode, the data you
were viewing when you last exited the mode will appear first.
Timekeeping
• Resetting the seconds to 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
without changing the minutes.
• 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 when battery has replaced.
• The current time for all city codes in the Timekeeping Mode and World Time Mode is
calculated in accordance with the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) for each city,
based on your Home City time setting.
E-38
Illumination Precautions
• Illumination may be difficult to see when viewed under direct sunlight.
• Illumination turns off automatically whenever an alarm sounds.
• Illumination turns off automatically depends on the current illumination duration
setting.
• Frequent use of illumination runs down the battery.
Auto light switch precautions
• Avoid wearing the watch on the inside of your wrist. Doing so causes the auto light
switch to operate when it is not needed, which shortens battery life. If you want to
wear the watch on the inside of your wrist, turn off the auto light switch feature.
• Illumination may not turn on if the face of the watch is
more than 15 degrees above or below parallel. Make
sure that the back of your hand is parallel to the ground.
• Illumination turns off in about 1.5 seconds or 3 seconds,
even if you keep the watch pointed towards your face.
More than 15 degrees
too high
E-39
• Static electricity or magnetic force can interfere with proper operation of the auto
light switch. If illumination does not turn on, 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, illumination may not turn on until about one second after
you turn the face of the watch towards you. This does not necessarily indicate
malfunction of the auto light switch.
• You may notice a very faint clicking sound coming from the watch when it is shaken
back and forth. This sound is caused by mechanical operation of the auto light
switch, and does not indicate a problem with the watch.
