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 Bto 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.
Stopwatch
The stopwatch lets you measure elapsed time, split times,
and two finishes.
•The display range of the stopwatch is 59 minutes,
59.99 seconds.
•The 1/100-second value appears while the elapsed time
operation is stopped or while a split time is frozen on the
display.
•The stopwatch continues to run, restarting from zero
after it reaches its limit, until you stop it.
•The stopwatch measurement operation continues even
if you exit the Stopwatch Mode.
•Exiting the Stopwatch Mode while a split time is frozen
on the display clears the split time and returns to
elapsed time measurement.
•All of the operations in this section are performed in the
Stopwatch Mode, which you enter by pressing C.
