Time (DST)” below.
Daylight Saving Time (DST)
Daylight Saving Time (summer time) advances the digital time setting by one hour from
Standard Time. Remember that not all countries or even local areas use Daylight Saving Time.
The time calibration signal transmitted from Fort Collins includes 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 Fort
Collins signal.
•
The default DST setting is Auto DST (
A

) whenever you select
ANC

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 the city code starts to flash, which
indicates the setting screen.
2. Press
C
once 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
to exit the setting screen.
•
The DST indicator (
) appears on the display to indicate that Daylight Saving
Time is turned on.

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 they stop moving.
To adjust the analog time
1. In the Timekeeping Mode, press
C
five 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.
When you want to do this:
Move the hand setting
forward 20 seconds
Move the hand setting a short
way forward at high speed
Move the hand setting a long
way forward at high speed
Perform this button operation:
•
Press
D
.
•
Hold down
D
.
•
Release
D
when the hands reach the setting
you want.
•
While holding down
D
to move the hands at
high speed, press
B
to lock the high-speed
hand movement.
•
To stop the hand movement, press any
button.
•
Hand movement stops automatically if the hour
hand makes one full (12-hour) revolution.

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 continually changes the contents of the
digital display.
To turn off Auto Display
Press any button to turn off Auto Display. This returns to
the Timekeeping Mode.
To turn on Auto Display
In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down
C
for about two
seconds until the watch beeps.
Note
•
Calibration signal reception is disabled while Auto
Display is being performed.
•
Auto Display cannot be performed while a setting screen
is on the display.
Auto Return Features
•
If you leave the watch in the Alarm or Hand Setting Mode for two or three minutes
without performing any operation, it automatically returns to the Timekeeping Mode.
•
If you leave the watch with a flashing setting on the display for two or three minutes
without performing any operation, the watch automatically 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 Mode, the data you were viewing when you last exited
the mode appears first.
Radio-controlled Atomic Timekeeping Precautions
•
Strong electrostatic charge can result in the wrong time being set.
•
Even when the watch is within the reception range of the transmitter, signal
reception will be impossible if the signal is blocked by mountains or other geological
formations between the watch and signal source.
•
Signal reception is affected by weather, atmospheric conditions, and seasonal
changes.
•
The time calibration signal bounces 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 manually.
•
The watch is designed to automatically update the date and day of the week for the
period January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2099. Setting of the date by the time
calibration signal cannot be performed starting from January 1, 2100.
•
This watch can receive signals that differentiate between leap years and non-leap
years.
•
If you are in an area where proper time calibration signal reception is impossible, the
watch keeps time within ±15 seconds a month at normal temperature.
•
If you have problems with proper time calibration signal reception or if the time
setting is wrong after signal reception, check your current city code, DST (summer
time), and auto receive settings. The following are the initial factory defaults for these
settings.
Timekeeping
•
Resetting the seconds to 00
while the current count is in the range of 30 to 59
causes the minutes to be increased by 1. In the range of 00 to 29, the seconds are
reset to 00
without changing the minutes.
•
The day of the week is automatically displayed in accordance with the date (year,
month, and day) settings.
•
The year can be set in the range of 2000 to 2099.
•
The watch’s built-in full automatic calendar makes allowances for different month
lengths and leap years. Once you set the date, there should be no reason to change
it except after you have the watch’s battery replaced.

•
The current time for all city codes in the Timekeeping Mode and World Time Mode is
calculated in accordance with the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) differential for each
city, based on your Home City time setting.
•
GMT differential is calculated by this watch based on Universal Time Coordinated
(UTC*) data.
* UTC 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.
The reference point for UTC is Greenwich, England.
12-hour/24-hour Timekeeping Formats
The 12-hour/24-hour timekeeping format you select in the Timekeeping Mode is also
applied in all other modes.
•
With the 12-hour format, the PM indicator (P) appears on the display for times in the
range of noon to 11:59 p.m. and no indicator appears for times in the range of
midnight to 11:59 a.m.
•
With the 24-hour format, times are displayed in the range of 0:00 to 23:59, without
any indicator.
Illumination Precautions
•
Illumination may be hard to see when viewed under direct sunlight.
•
Illumination automatically turns off whenever an alarm sounds.
•
Frequent use of illumination runs down the battery.
4. Press
A
to exit the setting screen.
•
When you exit the setting screen, the analog hands are adjusted automatically to
match the digital time. See “Analog Timekeeping” for more information.
