Note

When you use the above procedure to set the digital display time, the hands of the
analog timepiece normally adjust according to your setting.

With the 12-hour format, the (PM) indicator appears to the left of the hour digits for
times in the range of noon to 11:59 p.m. and no indicator appears to the left of the
hour digits 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
an indicator.

The 12-hour/24-hour timekeeping format you select in the Timekeeping Mode is
applied in all modes.

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 2039.

The watch’s built-in full automatic calendar automatically 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 batteries replaced.

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.

To toggle the Timekeeping Mode time between DST and Standard Time

A

 until the city

code starts to flash, which indicates the setting screen.

2. Press 

C

 to toggle between Daylight Saving Time (DST

displayed) and standard time (DST not displayed).

Note that you cannot switch between standard time
and Daylight Saving Time while GMT is selected as
the city code.

3. 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

Whenever you manually change the digital time setting or Home City code, the
hands of the analog timepiece move clockwise or counter clockwise to adjust to the
new 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.

Alarms, the hourly time signal, and the backlight are all disabled while the analog
hands are moving.

Whenever you need to manually adjust both the digital and the analog time settings,
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 the analog hands stop moving.

To adjust the analog time

1. In the Timekeeping Mode, press 

D

 six times to enter

the Hand Setting Mode.

2. Hold down 

A

 until the current digital time starts to

flash, which indicates the setting screen.

Note that you will not be able to change to the setting
screen if the analog hands are moving because the
watch is automatically adjusting the analog time to
match the digital time. If this happens, wait until the
hands stop moving.

3. Use 

E

 (+) and 

B

 (–) to adjust the analog setting as
