Before using the watch:
●Because the calendar is preadjusted at the factory, you only need to
set the time and date, and the calendar will automatically update itself.
●Before using the watch, be sure to read “HOW TO CHECK THE
CALENDAR”, and then set the time and date correctly following the procedure in “TIME (DUAL TIME for models with 24-hour hand) / DATE SETTING”.
* In case the calendar indication is not correct after the time/date setting is made,
consult the retailer from whom the watch was purchased or an AUTHORIZED
PULSAR DEALER.

* The 24-hour hand keeps indicating the time of the area you have selected in the
“TIME (DUAL TIME for models with 24-hour hand) / DATE SETTING”.
●How to calculate the time difference between two cities
Ex.) When you move from Rome to New York:
[A] Rome time : +1 hour from GMT
[B] New York time : -5 hours from GMT
So the time difference between Rome and New York is:
[B] - [A] = (-5) - (+1) = -6 (hours)
You should move the hour hand back 6 hours.
