Code Differential
*Based on data as of December 2002.
City Code Table
•The Hourly Time Signal on indicator is shown on the
display in all modes while the Hourly Time Signal is
turned on.
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 seconds count of the World Time is synchronized with the seconds count of the
Timekeeping Mode.
•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 Ato illuminate the display for
about one second.
•Note that the backlight does not turn on while a setting screen, or the Travel Data
Bank Mode 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.
