*Based on data as of December 2002.

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 (except for B) to turn off Auto Display.

To turn on Auto Display

In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down C for about three

seconds until the watch beeps.

· Note that Auto Display cannot be performed while a

setting screen is on the display.

Auto Return Features

If you leave a screen with flashing digits on the display for two or three minutes

without performing any operation, the watch 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 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.

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 year can be set in the range of 2000 to 2039.

· 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.

World Time

· The seconds count of the World Time is synchronized with the seconds count of the

Timekeeping Mode.

· The current time in all World Time Mode cities is calculated in accordance with the

Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) differential for each city, based on the current Home

City time setting in the Timekeeping Mode.

· The GMT differential is the time difference of the time zone where the city is located

from Greenwich Mean Time.

· GMT differential is calculated by this watch based on Universal Time Coordinated

(UTC) data.

Auto Time Display Precautions

· The watch may not display the current time if its face is

more than 15 degrees above or below parallel. Make

sure that the back of your hand is parallel to the ground.

· The watch returns to the Animation Mode in about three

seconds, even if you keep the watch pointed towards

your face.

· Static electricity or magnetic force can interfere with

proper auto time display. If the watch does not display

the current time automatically, try moving the watch

back to the starting position (parallel with the ground)

and then tilt it back toward you again. If this does not

work, drop your arm all the way down so it hangs at

your side, and then bring it back up again.

· Under certain conditions, the watch may not display the current time until about one

second after you turn the face of the watch towards you. This does not necessarily

indicate malfunction.

· You may notice a very faint clicking sound coming from the watch when it is shaken

back and forth. This sound is caused by mechanical operation of auto time display,

and does not indicate a problem with the watch.

Backlight Precautions

The backlight uses an EL (electro-luminescent) panel that causes the entire display to

glow for easy reading in the dark.

In any mode, press B to illuminate the display for about two seconds.

· The electro-luminescent panel that provides illumination loses power after very long

use.

· The illumination provided by the backlight 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.

· The backlight automatically turns off whenever an alarm sounds.

· Frequent use of the backlight shortens the battery life.

More than 15 degrees

too high
