Home City and selecting either standard time or daylight 
saving time (DST).

A

 until 

SET

starts to flash and the city name starts to scroll on the 
display.

supports time calibration signal reception (page E-21) is selected as the Home 
City. While Auto DST is selected the DST setting will be changed automatically 
in accordance with time calibration signal data.

 Note that you cannot switch between standard time and daylight saving time

5. After all the settings are the way you want, press 

A

 to return to the Timekeeping 

Mode.

 The 

DST

 indicator appears to indicate that Daylight Saving Time is turned on.

Note

 After you specify a city name, the watch will use UTC* offsets in the World Time 

Mode to calculate the current time for other time zones based on the current 
time in your Home City.

* Coordinated Universal Time, the world-wide scientific standard of timekeeping. 

The reference point for UTC is Greenwich, England.

 Selecting some city names automatically makes it possible for the watch to 

receive the time calibration signal for the corresponding area. See page E-21 
for details.

 While 12-hour format is selected for timekeeping, a 

P

 (PM) indicator will appear 

for times from noon to 11:59 p.m. No indicator appears for times from midnight 
to 11:59 a.m. With 24-hour format, time is displayed from 0:00 to 23:59, without 
any 

P

 (PM) indicator.

 The 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 rechargeable battery 
replaced or after power drops to Level 5 (page E-14).

E-49

Digital Compass

A built-in bearing sensor detects magnetic north at regular intervals and indicates one 
of 16 directions on the display.

 The watch also takes temperature readings in the Digital Compass/Thermometer 

Mode. For more information, see “Thermometer” (page E-73).
