date in the Timekeeping Mode.
To set the current digital time and date manually
1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down
A
until the
transmitter indicator starts to flash, which indicates the
setting screen.
2. Use

Time/Date Settings
•
The auto receive setting is used for time calibration signal reception only. See “About
Auto Receive” for details.
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.
The time calibration signals transmitted from Rugby and Mainflingen include both
Standard Time and DST data. When the Auto DST setting is turned on, the watch
switches between Standard Time and DST (summer time) automatically in
accordance with the received time signal.
•
The default DST setting is Auto DST (
A
) whenever you select
BER
,
PAR
,
LON
,
or
ATH
as your Home City code.
•
If you experience problems receiving the time calibration signal in your area, it is
probably 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 transmitter indicator starts to flash,
which indicates the setting screen.
2. Press
C
twice and the DST setting screen appears.
3. Use
D
to cycle through the DST settings in the sequence shown below.
4. When the setting you want is selected, press
A
twice to exit the setting screen.

Analog Timekeeping
The analog time of this watch is synchronized with the digital time. The analog time
setting is adjusted automatically whenever you change the digital time.
Note
•
The hands for the analog timepiece move to adjust to a new setting whenever any of
the following occurs.
When you change the digital time setting manually
When the digital time setting is changed by time calibration signal reception
When you change the Home City code and/or DST setting
•
If the analog time does not match the digital time for any reason, use the procedure
described under “To adjust the analog time” to match the analog setting to the digital
setting.
•
Whenever you need to adjust both the digital and the analog time settings manually,
make sure you adjust the digital setting first.
•
Depending on how much the hands have to move in order to adjust to the digital
time, it may take some time before the analog hands stop moving.
To adjust the analog time
1. In the Timekeeping Mode, press
C
six times to enter
the Hand Setting Mode.
2. Hold down
A
until the current digital time starts to
flash, which indicates the setting screen.
3. Use
D
(+) and
B
(–) to adjust the analog setting as
described below.

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 return features
•
If you leave the watch in the Alarm (except for the target alarm screen explained on
“To set an alarm time”), Date Alert, or Hand Setting Mode for two or three minutes
without performing any operation, it automatically changes to the Timekeeping
Mode.
•
If you leave the watch with a flashing setting or cursor on the display for two or three
minutes without performing any operation, it automatically saves any settings you
have made up to that point and exits the setting screen.
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 during a scroll
operation scrolls through the data at high speed.
Initial Screens
When you enter the World Time, Alarm, or Date Alert Mode, the data you were
viewing when you last exited the mode appears first.
Radio-controlled Timekeeping Precautions
•
Strong electrostatic charge can result in the wrong time being set.
•
The time calibration signal is bounced off the ionosphere. Because of this, such
factors as changes in the reflectivity of the ionosphere, as well as movement of the
ionosphere to higher altitudes due to seasonal atmospheric changes or the time of
day may change the reception range of the signal and make reception temporarily
impossible.
•
Even if the time calibration signal is received properly, certain conditions can cause
the time setting to be off by up to one second.
•
The current time setting in accordance with the time calibration signal takes priority
over any time settings you make.
•
The watch is designed to automatically update the date and day of the week for the
period January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2039. Setting of the date by the time
calibration signal cannot be performed starting from January 1, 2040.
•
This watch can receive signals that differentiate between leap years and non-leap
years.
•
Though this watch is designed to receive both time data (hour, minutes, seconds)
and date data (year, month, day), certain signal conditions can limit reception to time
data only.
