Dual Time
Dual Time lets you display the current time in another time zone called your “Dual Time City”, in addition
to your Home City’s current time. This feature is very handy for business professionals and others who

range of noon to 11:59 p.m. and no indicator appears for times in the range of midnight to 11:59 a.m.

The 12-hour/24-hour timekeeping format you select in the Timekeeping Mode is applied in all other
x
modes.
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 Mainfl ingen (Germany), Anthorn (England), and Fort Collins
(the United States) include both Standard Time and DST data. When the Auto DST setting is turned on,
the watch switches between Standard Time and DST (Daylight Saving Time) automatically in accordance
with the signals.
Though the time calibration signals transmitted by the Fukushima and Fukuoka/Saga, Japan
x
transmitters include summer time data, summer time currently is not implemented in Japan (as of
2010).

Charging Precautions
Certain charging conditions can cause the watch to become very hot. Avoid leaving the watch in the areas
described below whenever charging its rechargeable battery.
Also note that allowing the watch to become very hot can cause its liquid crystal display to black out. The
appearance of the LCD should become normal again when the watch returns to a lower temperature.
Warning!
Leaving the watch in bright light to charge its rechargeable battery can cause it to become quite
hot. Take care when handling the watch to avoid burn injury.
The watch can become particularly hot when exposed to the following conditions for long periods.
On the dashboard of a car parked in direct sunlight
Too close to an incandescent lamp
Under direct sunlight
