Using the Alarm
You can set fi ve independent daily alarms. When an alarm is turned on, an alarm will sound for about 10
seconds each day when the time in the Timekeeping Mode reaches the preset alarm time. This is true
even if the watch is not in the Timekeeping Mode. One of the daily alarms is a snooze alarm. The snooze
alarm will sound every fi ve minutes up to seven times or until it is turned off.
You can also turn on an Hourly Time Signal, which will cause the watch to beep twice every hour on the
hour.

One second after
WT
appears on the display, the city code of the
currently selected World Time City will scroll once in the upper display.

About the Auto Light Switch
Turning on the auto light switch causes illumination to turn on,
whenever you position your wrist as described below in any mode.
Moving the watch to a position that is parallel to the ground and
then tilting it towards you more than 40 degrees causes
illumination to turn on.
Warning!
•
Always make sure you are in a safe place whenever you are reading the display of the watch
using the auto light switch. Be especially careful when running or engaged in any other activity
that can result in accident or injury. Also take care that sudden illumination by the auto light
switch does not startle or distract others around you.
•
When you are wearing the watch, make sure that its auto light switch is turned off before riding
on a bicycle or operating a motorcycle or any other motor vehicle. Sudden and unintended
operation of the auto light switch can create a distraction, which can result in a traffi c accident
and serious personal injury.
