• The watch’s built-in full automatic calendar automatically makes allowances for dif-
ferent month lengths and leap years. Once you set the date, there should be no
reason to change it except after the replacement of the watch’s battery.
Daylight Saving Time (DST), which is also sometimes called “summer time” ad-
vances the time for one hour, as is the custom in some areas during the summer.
Remember that not all countries or even local areas use Daylight Saving Time.
ABOUT THE BACKLIGHT
• Press
to illuminate the display for about three seconds.
• The backlight of this watch employs an electro-luminescent (EL) light, which loses
its illuminating power after very long term use.
• Frequent use of the backlight shortens the battery life.
• The watch emits an audible sound whenever the display is illuminated. This does
not indicate malfunction of the watch.
• The illumination provided by the backlight may be hard to see when viewed under
direct sunlight.
• The backlight automatically turns off whenever an alarm sounds.

[Month-day display]
The World Time Mode shows the current time in 40 cities (27 time zones) around the
world. The lower part of the display shows either the day of the week and day, or the
month and day. The format used is the one you select in the Timekeeping Mode
before entering the World Time Mode.
• For full information on city codes, see the “CITY CODE TABLE”.
• The time setting of the Timekeeping Mode and the World Time Mode are synchro-
nized, except for the daylight saving time (summer time) setting. Whenever you
change the time setting for any city in the Timekeeping Mode, the settings of all
World Time cities are changed accordingly.
• The World Time Mode has its own daylight saving time (summer time) setting.
To select a World Time City and view its time
In the World Time Mode, press
to scroll forward through the city codes (time
zones). Holding down
scrolls at high speed.
• You can set up an alarm in the Alarm Mode so it operates based on the current time
in a city you specify in the World Time Mode.
Daylight Saving Time (DST)
Daylight Saving Time automatically advances the time setting by one hour from Stan-
dard Time. You cannot make individual Daylight Saving Time settings for each city
code (time zone). Turning on Daylight Saving Time affects all World Time time zones.
Remember that not all countries or even local areas use Daylight Saving Time.
To switch between Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time
In the World Time Mode, hold down
toggle between Daylight Saving Time and

DAY COUNTER MODE
The Day Counter Mode lets you count the number of days from the Timekeeping
Mode’s current date to a specific target date.
This watch has five day counters. You can assign text titles up to eight characters
long to each of the five Day Counters. Whenever the date specified by any one of the
day counters matches the date of the Timekeeping Mode (regardless of the day
counter’s year setting), the DAYS indicator flashes on the Timekeeping Mode. In the
Day Counter Mode, the DAYS indicator flashes on the screen of the particular day
counter whose date matches the date of the Timekeeping Mode.
The initial default date for all Day Counters is January 1, 2001.
