• In any mode, press B to illuminate the display.
• A variety of different animation patterns appear in the animation area of the display to identify the mode and when the backlight is turned on.

Timekeeping

This watch features separate digital and analog timekeeping. The procedures for setting the digital time and analog time are different.

• In the Timekeeping Mode, you can press D to change the time and date format as shown below.
  

• You can specify the animated pattern you want to play in the Timekeeping Mode. See “Animated Pattern” for more information.

Digital Time and Date
Use the Timekeeping Mode to set and view a digital display of the current time and date. When setting the digital time, you can also configure settings for summer time (Daylight Saving time or DST), your Home City code (the code for the city where you normally use the watch), and the 12/24-hour format.

• This watch is preset with a number of city codes, each of which represents the time zone where that city is located. When setting the digital time, it is important that you select the correct city code for your Home City. If your location is not included in the preset city codes, select the preset city code that is in the same time zone as your location.
• Note that all of the times for the World Time Mode city codes are displayed in accordance with the digital time and date settings you configure in the Timekeeping Mode.
• After you correctly set your Home City time and date, you can set the watch up for timekeeping with a different city code simply by changing the Home City code in the Timekeeping Mode.

To set the digital time and date

1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down A until the secoi K start to flash, which indicates the setting screen.

2. Press C once to move the flashing to the Home City code setting (see the illustration below), and then use B and D to select the code you want.

• See “Digital Time Daylight Saving Time (DST) Setting” below for details about the DST setting.
• Note that holding down A in step 1 of the above procedure also changes the animated pattern selection. See “Animated Pattern” for more information.

Digital Time Daylight Saving Time (DST) Setting
Daylight Saving Time (summer time) advances the digital time setting by one hour from Standard Time. Remember that not all countries or even local areas use Daylight Saving Time.

• Note that you cannot switch between Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time while GMT is selected as your Home City code.

1. In the Timekeeping Mode, press C five times to enter the Hand Setting Mode.

2. Hold down A until the current digital time starts to flash, which indicates the analog setting screen.

3. Press D to advance the analog time setting by 20 seconds. · Holding down D advances the analog time setting at high speed.
   • If you need to advance the analog time setting a long way, hold down D until the time starts advancing at high speed, and then press B. This locks the high speed hand  movement, so you can release the two buttons. High-speed hand movement continues until you press any button. It will also stop automatically after the time advances 12 hours or if an alarm (daily alarm or Hourly Time Signal) starts to sound.

4. Press A to exit the setting screen.
   • The watch will automatically adjust the minute hand slightly to match its internal second count when you exit the setting screen.

• When the currently selected time zone is one that includes mostly ocean, a value indicating the zone’s Greenwich Mean Time differential appears in place of a city code.
• If there are no city codes currently marked with an index mark, holding down D scrolls through city codes at high speed in normal sequence. If there are index marked city codes, holding down D jumps to the next marked city code. See “To assign index marks to city codes” below for more information.
• If the current time shown for a city is wrong, it probably means there is a problem with your Timekeeping Mode digital time and/or Home City code settings. Go to the Timekeeping Mode and make the necessary adjustments.

Elapsed Time

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 Display

Auto Display continually changes the contents of the digital display.

To turn off Auto Display
Press any button (except for B) to turn off Auto Display.

To turn on Auto Display
Hold down C for about two seconds until the watch beeps. · Note that Auto Display cannot be performed while a setting screen is on the display.

Auto Return Feature

• The watch automatically returns to the Timekeeping Mode if you do not perform any button operation for two or three minutes in the Travel Data Bank, Alarm, or Hand Setting Mode.
• If you leave a screen with flashing digits or a cursor 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 through the data at high speed.

Initial Screens
When you enter the World Time, Travel Data Bank, or Alarm Mode, the data you were viewing when you last exited the mode appears first.

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 day of the week is automatically displayed in accordance with the date (year, month, and day) settings.
• 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 batteries replaced.

World Time

• The World Time Mode times are calculated from the current Home City time setting in the Timekeeping Mode, using the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) differentials associated with each city code.
• The GMT differential is a value that indicates the time difference between Greenwich Mean Time and the time zone where a city is located.
• GMT differential is calculated by this watch based on Universal Time Coordinated (UTC) data.
• Turning on DST in the World Time Mode for the city code that you have selected as your Timekeeping Mode Home City code also turns on DST for the Home City time.

Backlight Precautions
The backlight uses an EL (electro-luminescent) panel that causes the entire display to glow for easy reading in the dark. In any mode, press B to illuminate the display for about two seconds.

• Animated pattern movement becomes faster while the display is illuminated by the backlight.
• Note that the backlight does not turn on while a setting screen, or the Travel Data Bank Mode password screen or password input screen is on the display.
• The electro-luminescent panel that provides illumination loses power after very long use.
• The illumination provided by the backlight may be hard to see when viewed under direct sunlight.
• The watch may emit an audible sound whenever the display is illuminated. This is due to vibration of the EL panel used for illumination, and does not indicate malfunction.
• The backlight automatically turns off whenever an alarm sounds.
• Frequent use of the backlight shortens the battery life.
