Alarms

You can set five independent Daily Alarms. When an
alarm is turned on, the alarm tone sounds when the alarm
time is reached. One of the alarms is a snooze alarm,
while the other four are one-time alarms.
You can turn on an Hourly Time Signal that causes the
watch to beep twice every hour on the hour.

There are six screens in the Alarm Mode. Four are for
one-time alarms (indicated by numbers from

AL1

through 

AL4

), one is for a snooze alarm

(indicated by 

SNZ

), and one is for the Hourly Time

Signal (indicated by 

SIG

).

All of the operations in this section are performed in the
Alarm Mode, which you enter by pressing 

C

.

To set an alarm time

1. In the Alarm Mode, use 

D

 to scroll through the alarm

screens until the one whose time you want to set is
displayed.

To set a one-time alarm, display one of the screens indicated by an alarm number
from 

AL1

through 

AL4

. To set the snooze alarm, display the screen indicated

by 

SNZ

.

The snooze alarm repeats every five minutes.

2. After you select an alarm, hold down 

A

 until the hour setting of the alarm time

starts to flash, which indicates the setting screen.

This operation automatically turns on the alarm.

3. Press 

C

 to move the flashing between the hour and minute settings.

4. While a setting is flashing, use 

D

 (+) and 

B

 (–) to change it.

When setting the alarm time using the 12-hour format, take care to set the time
correctly as a.m. (no indicator) or p.m. (

P

 indicator).

5. Press 

A

 to exit the setting screen.

Alarm Operation

The alarm sounds at the preset time for about 20 seconds, regardless of the mode the
watch is in. In the case of the snooze alarm, the alarm operation is performed a total
of seven times, every five minutes, or until you turn the alarm off.

To stop the alarm tone after it starts to sound, press any button.

Performing any one of the following operations during a 5-minute interval between
snooze alarms cancels the current snooze alarm operation.

screen.

Turning on the snooze alarm (

SNZ

on indicator and snooze alarm indicator on the Alarm
Mode snooze alarm screen.

In all modes, the alarm on indicator is shown for any
alarm that is currently turned on.

The alarm on indicator flashes while the alarm is
sounding.

The snooze alarm indicator flashes during the 5-minute
intervals between alarms.

Auto Return Feature

If you leave a screen with flashing digits 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 or Alarm 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.

With the 12-hour format, the 

P

 (PM) indicator 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.

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 batteries replaced.

World Time

The World Time Mode times are calculated from the current Home City time setting
in the Timekeeping Mode, using the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) differentials
associated with each city code.

The GMT differential is a value that indicates the time difference between Greenwich
Mean Time and the time zone where a city is located.

GMT differential is calculated by this watch based on Universal Time Coordinated
(UTC) data.

Illumination Precautions

This watch has 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.

Display illumination may be hard to see when viewed under direct sunlight.

Illumination automatically turns off whenever an alarm sounds.

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.

Frequent use of illumination runs down the battery.
