∗

Daylight Saving Time (DST), which is also sometimes called “summer time”
advances the time for one hour, as is the custom in some areas during the summer.
Remember that not all countries or even local areas use Daylight Saving Time.

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 

L

 to illuminate the display for about three 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.

The World Time Mode shows the current time in 40 cities (27 time zones) around the
world. The lower part of the display shows either the day of the week and day, or the
month and day. The format used is the one you select in the Timekeeping Mode
before entering the World Time Mode.

•

For full information on city codes, see the “City Code Table”.

•

The time setting of the Timekeeping Mode and the World Time Mode are
synchronized, except for the Daylight Saving Time (summer time) setting. Whenever
you change the time setting for any city in the Timekeeping Mode, the settings of all
World Time cities are changed accordingly.

The World Time Mode has its own Daylight Saving Time (summer time) setting.

In the World Time Mode, press 

D

or

 to scroll to the west. Holding down 

B

 or 

D

 scrolls at high speed.

•

You can set up an alarm in the Alarm Mode so it operates based on the current time
in a city you specify in the World Time Mode.

Daylight Saving Time automatically advances the time setting by one hour from
Standard Time. You cannot make individual Daylight Saving Time settings for each
city code (time zone). Turning on Daylight Saving Time affects all World Time time
zones. Remember that not all countries or even local areas use Daylight Saving Time.

In the World Time Mode, hold down 

A

Standard Time.
