before setting the time and date in the Timekeeping Mode.

A
until
the city code starts to flash, which indicates

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.
•
As of July 2007, China does not use Daylight Saving Time (DST). If China
does go to the Daylight Saving Time system in the future, some functions of
this watch may no longer operate correctly.
•
If you experience problems receiving the time calibration signal in your
area, it probably is best to switch between Standard Time and Daylight
Saving Time (summer time) manually.
To change the Daylight Saving Time (summer time) setting
1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down
A
until the city code starts to flash,
which indicates the setting screen.
2. Press
C
and the DST setting screen appears.
3. Press
D
to toggle between Daylight Saving Time (
ON
displayed) and
Standard Time (
OFF
displayed).
4. When the setting you want is selected, press
A
to exit the setting screen.
•
The
DST
indicator appears to indicate that Daylight Saving Time is turned
on.

is turned off.
Power Saving Function
When turned on, the Power Saving function
enters a sleep state automatically whenever the
watch is left in an area for a certain period where

functions are affected by the Power Saving
function.
