Timekeeping

Resetting the seconds to 00 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 00 without changing the minutes.

With the 12-hour format, the P (PM) indicator appears on the display for times in the range of noon to 11:59 p.m. and no indicator appears for times in the range of midnight to 11:59 a.m.

With the 24-hour format, times are displayed in the range of 0:00 to 23:59, without any indicator.

The year can be set in the range of 2000 to 2039.

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 after you have the watch’s batteries replaced.

World Time

All World Time Mode times are calculated from the current Home City time in the

Timekeeping Mode using UTC time differential values.

The UTC differential is a value that indicates the time difference between a reference point in Greenwich, England and the time zone where a city is located.

The letters “UTC” is the abbreviation for “Universal Time Coordinated”, which is the world-wide scientific standard of timekeeping. It is based upon carefully maintained atomic (cesium) clocks that keep time accurately to within microseconds. Leap seconds are added or subtracted as necessary to keep UTC in sync with the Earth’s rotation.

Illumination Precautions

The illumination provided by the light may be hard to see when viewed under direct sunlight.

Illumination automatically turns off whenever an alarm sounds.

Frequent use of illumination runs down the battery.

Auto light switch precautions

More than 15 degrees too high

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 one second or three seconds, even if you keep the watch pointed towards your face.

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 towards 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.
