You also need to enter the Timekeeping Mode in order to configure the
following settings.
Display illumination duration (“To specify the illumination duration”)
Power saving on/off (“To turn Power Saving on and off”)
Temperature, barometric pressure, and altitude units (“To select the
temperature, barometric pressure, and altitude units”)
•
The year can be set in the range of 2000 to 2099. The day of the week is
calculated automatically in accordance with the date you set.
Daylight Saving Time (DST)
Daylight Saving Time (summer time) advances the time setting by one hour
from Standard Time. Remember that not all countries or even local areas use
Daylight Saving Time.
To toggle the Timekeeping Mode digital time between DST and
Standard Time
1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down
E
until
the city code starts to flash, which indicates
the setting screen.
2. Press
D
once and the DST setting screen
appears.

Digital Compass
A built-in bearing sensor detects magnetic north and indicates one of 16
directions on the display. Direction readings are performed in the Digital
Compass Mode.
•
You can calibrate the bearing sensor if you suspect the direction reading is
incorrect.
To enter and exit the Digital Compass Mode
1. While in the Timekeeping or in any of the other
sensor modes, press
A
to enter the Digital
Compass Mode.
•
At this time, the watch will start a Digital
Compass operation. After about two
seconds, letters appear on the display to
indicate the direction that the 12 o’clock
position of the watch is pointing.

The
ACT
indicator flashes on the display while a measurement is in
progress.
2. Press
D
to return to the Timekeeping Mode.
To take a direction reading
1. While the watch is in the Digital Compass
Mode, place it on a flat surface or, if you are
wearing the watch, make sure that your wrist
is horizontal (in relation to the horizon).
2. Point the 12 o’clock position of the watch in
the direction you want to measure.
3. Press
A
to start a Digital Compass
measurement operation.
•
After about two seconds, the direction that the
12 o’clock position of the watch is pointing
appears on the display.
•
Also, four pointers appear to indicate magnetic
north, south, east, and west.
•
After the first reading is obtained, the watch
continues to take direction readings
automatically each second, for up to 20
seconds.

During measurement, the watch displays an angle value, a direction
indicator, and four direction pointers, which change dynamically when the
watch is moved. After measurement is complete, the angle value,
direction indicator, and four direction pointers are frozen in accordance
with the last measurement.
•
The
ACT
indicator flashes on the display while a measurement is in
progress.
Note
•
Note that taking a measurement
while the watch is not horizontal
(in relation to the horizon) can
result in large measurement error.
•
The margin of error for the angle value is
±
11 degrees. If the indicated
direction is northwest (
NW
) and 315 degrees, for example, the actual
direction can be anywhere from 304 to 326 degrees.
•
Any ongoing direction measurement operation is temporarily paused while
the watch is performing an alert operation (daily alarm, Hourly Time Signal,
countdown timer alarm) or while illumination is turned on (by pressing
L
).
The measurement operation resumes for its remaining duration after the
operation that caused it to pause is finished.
•
The following table shows the meanings of each of the direction
abbreviations that appear on the display.

Barometer/Thermometer
This watch uses a pressure sensor to measure air pressure (barometric
pressure) and a temperature sensor to measure temperature.
•
You can calibrate the temperature sensor and the pressure sensor if you
suspect that readings are incorrect.
To take barometric pressure and temperature readings
Pressing
B
in the Timekeeping or in any of other
sensor modes enters the Barometer/
Thermometer Mode and automatically starts
barometric pressure and temperature
measurements.
•
It can take up to four or five seconds for the
barometric pressure reading to appear after
you enter the Barometer/Thermometer Mode.
•
Barometric pressure is displayed in units of
1hPa (or 0.05 inHg).

The displayed barometric pressure value changes to
xxxx
hPa (or inHg) if
a measured barometric pressure falls outside the range of 260 hPa to
1100 hPa (7.65 inHg to 32.45 inHg). The barometric pressure value will
reappear as soon as the measured barometric pressure is within the
allowable range.
•
Temperature is displayed in units of 0.1
°
C (or 0.2
°

•
The displayed temperature value changes to
xxx

F) if a measured
temperature falls outside the range of –10.0
°
C to 60.0
°
C (14.0

temperature is within the allowable range.
