Using the Watch for Official Timing of a Sport Event
After you set a game or event time, the watch will perform an alert operation (beeper
or vibration) when the time in the lower display reaches that time.
If the event is interrupted for some reason, you can press B to pause and restart
timing in the upper display. The lower display shows the total elapsed time since the
start of the timing operation. You can calculate the total amount of time that play was
interrupted (lost time or injury time) by subtracting the upper display time from the
lower display time.

Warning!
• Always make sure you are in a safe place whenever you are reading the watch
using the auto light switch. Be especially careful when running or engaged in
any other activity that can result in accident or injury. Also take care that
sudden illumination by the auto light switch does not startle or distract others
around you.
To toggle a city code time between Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time
1. In the World Time Mode, use D and B to display the
city code (time zone) whose Standard Time/Daylight
Saving Time setting you want to change.
• 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.
2. Hold down A for about one second to toggle between
Daylight Saving Time (DST displayed) and Standard
Time (DST not displayed).

Alarm
Reference
When the Daily Alarm is turned on, the currently selected
alert operation (beeper or vibration) is performed at the
preset time each day. When the Hourly Time Signal is
turned on, the watch performs an alert operation every
hour on the hour.
• You can configure the watch for beeper alert or vibration
alert. For details about vibration alert, see “Vibration
Alert”.
This section contains more detailed and technical information about watch operation.
It also contains important precautions and notes about the various features and
functions of this watch.

Vibration Alert
When Vibration Alert is turned on, the watch vibrates instead of sounding a beeper.
This lets you use the watch without disturbing others with beeping sounds.
• Vibration Alert can be used to replace alarm sounds.
• For information about selecting the alert type, see “To switch between vibration alert
and beeper alert” below.
• All of the operations in this section are performed in the
Alarm Mode, which you enter by pressing C.
To set the alarm time
• Watches with a metal band may produce a noise when a vibration operation is
performed. This is due to vibration of the metal band, and does not indicate
malfunction of the watch.
Alarm time

This watch has an EL (electro-luminescent) panel that
causes the entire display to glow for easy reading in the
dark. The watch’s auto light switch turns on illumination

face for reading.

the auto light switch indicator) for it to operate.

• The year can be set in the range of 2000 to 2099.
• 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.
World Time
• The seconds count of the World Time is synchronized with the seconds count of the
Timekeeping Mode.
• All World Time Mode times are calculated from the current Home City time in the
Timekeeping Mode using UTC time differential values.
Auto light switch indicator
• The UTC differential is a value that indicates the time difference between a
reference point in Greenwich, England and the time zone where a city is located.
• The letters “UTC” is the abbreviation for “Universal Time Coordinated”, which is the
world-wide scientific standard of timekeeping. It is based upon carefully maintained
atomic (cesium) clocks that keep time accurately to within microseconds. Leap
seconds are added or subtracted as necessary to keep UTC in sync with the Earth’s
rotation.
To illuminate the display manually
In any mode, press L to turn on illumination for about one second.
• The above operation turns on illumination regardless of the current auto light switch
setting.

Operation Guide 2993
Illumination Precautions
• The electro-luminescent panel that provides illumination loses power after very long
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.
• Illumination turns off automatically whenever an alert operation (beeper or vibration)
is performed.
• Frequent use of illumination runs down the battery.
Auto light switch precautions
• Avoid wearing the watch on the inside of your wrist. Doing so causes the auto light
switch to operate when it is not needed, which shortens battery life. If you want to
wear the watch on the inside of your wrist, turn off the auto light switch feature.
• Illumination may not turn on if the face of the watch is
more than 15 degrees above or below parallel. Make
sure that the back of your hand is parallel to the ground.
• Illumination turns off in about one second, 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 you 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 may not turn on until about one second after
you turn the face of the watch towards you. This does not necessarily indicate
malfunction of the auto light switch.
• 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.
