TIME ZONE SELECTION

Press the corrector (left-hand recessed button) briefly with a pointed 
object. The number on the LCD now shows the hour. Each subsequent 
brief press on the corrector increases the hour by one, i.e., one time 
zone farther east. At the same time, the hands also move forward by 
one hour. From the 11

th

time you press the corrector, you start returning 

toward the current Central European Time from the westerly direction 
(apparently backward) in hourly steps. For example, in the case of 
Great Britain, which is one hour behind the DCF time, you must press 
the corrector 23 times. If you press it slowly, the hands will adjust 
themselves in unison. But if you press the corrector in very rapid 
succession, the hands may only move 11 hours instead of 23. This
does not mean that your watch is malfunctioning. Nine seconds after 
you last press the corrector, the LCD returns to the normal display of 
seconds and date (adjusted to the new time zone). Instead of waiting 
for nine seconds, you can also finish the time zone selection 
immediately by briefly pressing the push button (on the right). To return 
to the DCF time (after changing a time zone), press the corrector (on 
the left) for longer than three seconds. Your watch then automatically 
sets itself to the DCF time. Due to the internal time memory, this is also 
possible at any time when traveling abroad, even outside the 
transmitter range. 

Note: The manual transmitter call (refer to next section) and automatic 
reception (radio tower symbol and reception indicator both flash) are 
not possible if you have set a time zone beyond the DCF time plus or 
minus one hour. This limitation saves the battery.
