towards you more than 40 degrees causes illumination to turn on.
• Wear the watch on the outside of your wrist.
Warning!

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 surprise or distract
others around you.

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 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
• All World Time Mode times are calculated from the current Home City time in the
Timekeeping Mode using UTC time differential values.
• 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.
