Operation Guide 3212
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 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 World Time or Alarm 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 offset values.
•
The UTC offset 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.
