This watch is preset with a number of city codes, each of
which represents the time zone where that city is located.
When setting the time, it is important that you select the
correct city code for your Home City (the city where you
normally use the watch). If your location is not included in
the preset city codes, select the preset city code that is in
the same time zone as your location.

Important!
• A “run” is the total elapsed time and all the lap/split times you recorded from the
point you start the stopwatch until you stop it. The watch stores each run as a
separate memory record.
• The run number that appears on the display whenever you clear the stopwatch to all
zeros indicates the number of the next run record that will be created when you
perform a stopwatch operation. The watch automatically increases the run number
by one each time you store run data.
• “Lap time” is the time spent to cover a specific segment of a race, such as one lap
around a track. “Split time” is the time spent from the beginning of a race up to a
certain point.

indicating the zone’s Greenwich Mean Time differential appears in place of a city
code.
• When you are wearing the watch, make sure that its auto light switch is turned
off before riding on a bicycle or operating a motorcycle or any other motor
vehicle. Sudden and unintended operation of the auto light switch can create
a distraction, which can result in a traffic accident and serious personal injury.

• 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.
• The alarm on indicator and the Hourly Time Signal on indicator are shown on the
display in all modes while these functions are turned on.
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 seconds count of the World Time is synchronized with the seconds count of the
Timekeeping Mode.
• 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
The display of the watch is illuminated using an EL
Auto light switch on indicator
(electro-luminescent) panel for easy reading in the dark.
The watch’s auto light switch automatically turns on
illumination when you angle the watch towards your face.
• The auto light switch must be turned on (indicated by
the auto light switch on indicator) for it to operate.
• You can specify 1.5 seconds or 2.5 seconds as the
illumination duration.
Illumination Precautions

• See “Illumination Precautions” for other important
information about using illumination.
use.
• Illumination 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.
To turn on illumination manually
The button you need to press to illuminate the display depends on the mode you are in.
• In the Timekeeping*, Stopwatch, or Countdown Timer Mode*, press C.
* If the Timekeeping Mode or Countdown Timer Mode setting screen is on the
display, press E.
• Illumination automatically turns off whenever an alarm sounds.
• Frequent use of illumination shortens the battery life.
• In the Recall, World Time, or Alarm Mode, press E.
• The above operation turns on illumination regardless of the current auto light switch
setting.

Auto light switch precautions
• Wearing the watch on the inside of your wrist and movement or vibration of your arm
can cause the auto light switch to activate and illuminate the display. To avoid
running down the battery, turn off the auto light switch whenever engaging in
activities that might cause frequent illumination of the display.
• Illumination may not turn on if the face of the watch is
More than 15 degrees
more than 15 degrees above or below parallel. Make
too high
sure that the back of your hand is parallel to the ground.
• Illumination turns off after the preset illumination
duration (see “To specify the illumination duration”),
even if you keep the watch pointed towards your face.
• Static electricity or magnetic force can interfere with proper operation of the auto
light switch. If illumination does not turn on, try moving the watch back to the starting
position (parallel with the ground) and then tilt it back towards your face 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, illumination does not turn on until about one second after
you turn the face of the watch towards you. This does not 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 the auto light
switch, and does not indicate a problem with the watch.
