Timekeeping

The Timekeeping Mode’s Multi Time feature gives you quick and easy access to the current time and date in four different cities, numbered from T-1 (Time 1) through T-4 (Time 4). T-1 is your Home City Time, and T-2, T-3, and T-4 are Local Times. Local Times are kept in synchronization with your Home City Time (T-1).

The digital dial at the top of the screen indicates the current Home City Time (T-1). For details on reading the map and digital dial, see
“Map and Digital Dial” (page E- 30).

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.

Map and Digital Dial

• Digital dial: In all modes, segments indicate the current Home City Time (T-1) hour, minute, and second.

Button Operation Tone

The button operation tone sounds any time you press one of the watch’s buttons. You can turn the button operation tone on or off as desired.

Auto Return Features

• If you leave the watch in the Alarm Mode for two or three minutes without performing any operation, it automatically changes to the Timekeeping Mode.
• If you leave a screen with flashing digits on the display for two or three minutes without performing any operation, the watch automatically exits the setting screen.

Scrolling
The B and D buttons are used in various modes and setting screens to scroll through data on the display. In most cases, holding down these buttons during a scroll operation scrolls at high speed.

Initial Screens
When you enter the World Time or Alarm Mode, the data you were viewing when you last exited the mode appears 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 after you have the watch’s battery replaced.

World Time

• The second count of the World Time is synchronized with the second count of the Timekeeping Mode.
• All World Time Mode times are calculated from the current Home City Time in the Timekeeping Mode using UTC time offset values.
• The UTC offset 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 letter “UTC” is the abbreviation for “Coordinated Universal Time”, 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.
