Operation Guide 3077
Reference
This section contains more detailed and technical information about watch operation.
It also contains important precautions and notes about the various features and
functions of this watch.
Auto Display
Auto Display causes the Timekeeping Mode main display
area to switch between Regular and Reverse every five
seconds.
To turn off Auto Display
Press any button to turn off Auto Display.
To turn on Auto Display
In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down
C
for about three
seconds until the watch beeps.
•
Note that Auto Display cannot be performed while a
setting screen is on the display.
Dot Animation
Four dots in the upper right corner of the display appear and disappear during certain
watch operations. This animation is for appearance purposes only.
Auto Return Features
•
If you leave the watch in the Alarm or Edit Mode for two or three minutes without
performing any operation, it changes to the Timekeeping Mode automatically.
•
If you leave a screen with flashing digits or a cursor on the display for two or three
minutes without performing any operation, the watch saves any settings you have
made up to that point and exits the setting screen automatically.
Scrolling
The
B
and
D
buttons are used in various modes and setting screens to scroll
through data on the display. In most cases, holding down these buttons scrolls at high
speed.
Initial Screens
When you enter the Timekeeping, World Time, Alarm or Edit Mode, the data you were
viewing when you last exited the mode appears first.
World Time
•
The seconds count of the World Time is synchronized with the seconds count of the
Timekeeping Mode.
•
All World Time Mode times are calculated from the current Home City time in the
Timekeeping Mode using UTC time differential values.
•
The UTC differential is a value that indicates the time difference between a
reference point in Greenwich, England and the time zone where a city is located.
•
The letters “UTC” is the abbreviation for “Coordinated Universal Time”, which is the
world-wide scientific standard of timekeeping. It is based upon carefully maintained
atomic (cesium) clocks that keep time accurately to within microseconds. Leap
seconds are added or subtracted as necessary to keep UTC in sync with the Earth’s
rotation.
Illumination Precautions
•
The electro-luminescent panel that provides illumination loses power after very long
use.
•
Illumination may be hard to see when viewed under direct sunlight.
•
The watch may emit an audible sound whenever the display is illuminated. This is
due to vibration of the EL panel used for illumination, and does not indicate
malfunction.
•
Illumination turns off automatically whenever an alarm sounds.
•
Frequent use of illumination runs down the battery.
Auto light switch precautions
•
Avoid wearing the watch on the inside of your wrist. Doing so causes the auto light
switch to operate when it is not needed, which shortens battery life. If you want to
wear the watch on the inside of your wrist, turn off the auto light switch feature.
•
Illumination may not turn on if the face of the watch is
more than 15 degrees above or below parallel. Make
sure that the back of your hand is parallel to the ground.
•
Illumination turns off in about one seconds, even if you
keep the watch pointed towards your face.
•
Static electricity or magnetic force can interfere with
proper operation of the auto light switch. If illumination
does not turn on, try moving the watch back to the
starting position (parallel with the ground) and then tilt it
back towards you again. If this does not work, drop your
arm all the way down so it hangs at your side, and then
bring it back up again.
•
Under certain conditions, illumination may not turn on until about one second after
you turn the face of the watch towards you. This does not necessarily indicate
malfunction of the auto light switch.
•
You may notice a very faint clicking sound coming from the watch when it is shaken
back and forth. This sound is caused by mechanical operation of the auto light
switch, and does not indicate a problem with the watch.
