About Auto Display
Auto Display is a demonstration feature that continually changes the
contents of the digital display. Note that you cannot use any of the
watch’s other functions while Auto Display is operating.
To turn off Auto Display
Hold down A for about two seconds until the watch beeps.
To turn on Auto Display
1. In any mode (except while figures are flashing on the display for
input), hold down C for about two seconds to enter the Sleep Mode.
2. Hold down A for about two seconds until the watch beeps. This
indicates that Auto Display is on.
• Leaving the watch in a dark area can cause Auto Display operation
to stop. Normal operation should resume when the watch is again
exposed to light.
• Auto Display cannot be turned on while the storage battery is at
Level 4 or Level 5. Auto Display also turns off automatically
whenever the storage battery drops to Level 4 or Level 5.
REFERENCE
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.
Auto Return Features
If you leave a screen with flashing digits or a cursor on the display for
two or three minutes without performing any operation, the watch
automatically saves anything you have input up to that point and exits
the setting screen.
Data and Setting Scrolling
The B and D buttons are used in various modes and setting screens
to scroll through data on the display. In most cases, holding down these
buttons during a scroll operation scrolls through the data at high speed.
Initial Screens
When you enter the Data Bank or World Time Mode, the data you were
viewing when you last exited the mode appears first.
Timekeeping
• The day of the week is automatically displayed in accordance with the
date (year, month, and day) settings.
• The year can be set in the range of 2000 to 2039.
12-hour/24-hour Timekeeping Formats
The 12-hour/24-hour timekeeping format you select in the Timekeeping
Mode is also applied in all modes.
• With the 12-hour format, the P (PM) indicator appears to the left of the
hour digits for times in the range of noon to 11:59 p.m. and the A (AM)
indicator appears to the left of the hour digits 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, with 24 indicator.
More than 15 degrees
too high
World Time
• GMT differential is calculated by this watch based on Universal Time
Coordinated (UTC) data.
• The seconds count of the World Time is synchronized with the
seconds count of the Timekeeping Mode.
Backlight Precautions
• 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.
• The backlight remains lit for about two seconds from the point you
press the button, even if it is already lit when you press the button. If
you keep the button depressed for two seconds or more, the backlight
automatically turns off.
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.
• The backlight may not light 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.
• The backlight turns off in about two
seconds, 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 the backlight does not light, try moving the
watch back to the starting position (parallel with the ground) and then
tilt it back toward 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, the backlight may not light until about one
second after you turn the face of the watch towards you. This does not
necessarily indicate malfunction of the backlight.
