•
Make sure you select your Home City code before changing any other
setting.
•
For full information on city codes, see the “City Code Table”.
•
The following steps explain how to configure timekeeping settings only.
4. When the timekeeping setting you want to change is flashing, use

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 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. Use
D

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 pressure sensor and the temperature sensor if you
suspect that readings are incorrect.
To take barometric pressure and temperature readings
Pressing
B
in the Timekeeping Mode or
Altimeter Mode enters the Barometer/
Thermometer Mode and starts barometric
pressure and temperature measurements
automatically .
•
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
°
F).
•
The displayed temperature value changes to
xxx
°
C (or
°
F) if a measured
temperature falls outside the range of –10.0
°
C to 60.0
°
C (14.0
°
F to
140.0
°
F). The temperature value will reappear as soon as the measured
temperature is within the allowable range.
•
In some areas, barometric pressure is expressed in millibars (mb) instead
of hectopascals (hPa). It really makes no difference, because 1hPa = 1mb.
•
You can select either hectopascals (hPa) or inchesHg (inHg) as the display
unit for the measured barometric pressure, and Celsius (
°
C) or Fahrenheit
(
°
F) as the display unit for the measured temperature value. See “To select
the temperature, altitude, and barometric pressure units”.
•
See “Barometer and Thermometer Precautions” for important precautions.
Barometric Pressure Graph
Barometric pressure indicates changes in the atmosphere. By monitoring
these changes you can predict the weather with reasonable accuracy.
This watch takes barometric pressure measurements automatically every two
hours (at the top of each even-numbered hour), regardless of its current
mode. Measurement results are used to produce barometric pressure graph
and barometric pressure differential pointer readings.
The barometric pressure graph shows readings of previous measurements for
up to 24 hours. The horizontal axis of the graph represents time, with each dot
standing for two hours. The rightmost dot represents the most recent reading.
The vertical axis of the graph represents barometric pressure, with each dot
standing for the relative difference between its reading and that of the dots
next to it. Each dot represents 1hPa.
The following shows how to interpret the data that appears on the barometric
pressure graph.
A rising graph generally means improving weather.
A falling graph generally means deteriorating weather.
Note that if there are sudden changes in barometric
pressure or temperature, the graph line of past
measurements may run off the top or bottom of the display.
The entire graph will become visible once barometric
conditions stabilize.
The following conditions cause the barometric pressure
measurement to be skipped, with the corresponding point on
the barometric pressure graph being left blank.

the display.
Barometric Pressure Differential Pointer
This pointer indicates the relative difference between the most recent
barometric pressure reading indicated on the barometric pressure graph, and
the current barometric pressure value displayed in the Barometer/
Thermometer Mode.
•
Pressure differential is indicated in the range of
±
5 hPa, in 1-hPa units.
•
The barometric pressure differential pointer is not displayed when the
displayed current barometric value is outside of the allowable measurement
range (260 to 1,100 hPa).
•
Barometric pressure is calculated and displayed using hPa as the standard.
The barometric pressure differential also can be read in inHg units as
shown in the illustration.
Pressure differential
examples in the
illustration are indicated
in 3 hPa/0.1 inHg steps.

About Barometric and Temperature Measurements
•
Barometric pressure and temperature measurement operations are
performed as soon as you enter the Barometer/Thermometer Mode. After
that, barometric pressure and temperature measurements are taken every
five seconds.
•
You also can perform a barometric pressure and temperature measurement
at any time by pressing
B
in the Barometer/Thermometer Mode.
