xThe letters “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.
Illumination Precautions
xThe electro-luminescent panel that provides illumination loses power after very long
use.
xIllumination may be hard to see when viewed under direct sunlight.
xThe 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.
xIllumination turns off automatically whenever an alarm sounds.
xFrequent use of illumination runs down the battery.
E-35
Timekeeping
xResetting 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.
xThe year can be set in the range of 2000 to 2099.
xThe 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
All World Time Mode times are calculated from the current time in the Timekeeping
Mode using UTC offset values.
xThe seconds count of the World Time is synchronized with the seconds count of the
Timekeeping Mode.
xThe 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.
E-34
Auto Return Features
xIf you leave the watch in the Alarm Mode for two or three minutes without performing
any operation, it automatically changes to the Timekeeping Mode.
xIf 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 Band Dbuttons 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.
