Timekeeping Mode.
• When setting the time and date, you can also configure settings for your Home Time
Zone (the time zone where you normally use the watch) and summer time (Daylight
Saving time or DST).

differential value starts to flash, which indicates the
setting screen.

• Auto DST ( ) can be selected only while +0.0, +1.0, or +2.0 (+1.0, +2.0, or +3.0
while DST is turned on) is selected as the Home Time Zone. For more information,
see “Daylight Saving Time (DST)” below.
Daylight Saving Time (DST)
Daylight Saving Time (summer time) advances the time setting by one hour from
Standard Time. Remember that not all countries or even local areas use Daylight
Saving Time.
The time calibration signals include both Standard Time and DST data. When the auto
DST setting is turned on, the watch switches between Standard Time and DST
(summer time) automatically in accordance with the signal it receives.
• The auto DST setting can be turned on only while +0.0, +1.0, or +2.0 (+1.0, +2.0, or
+3.0 while DST is turned on) is selected as the Home Time Zone.
• If you experience problems receiving the time calibration signal in your area, it is
probably best to switch between Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time (summer
time) manually.
To change the Daylight Saving Time (summer time) setting
1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down A until the GMT differential value starts to
flash, which indicates the setting screen.
2. Press C to display the DST setting screen.
3. Press B to cycle through the DST settings in the sequence shown below.
Auto DST ( ) DST off ( ) DST on ( )
4. Press A to exit the setting screen.
• The DST indicator appears on the display to indicate that Daylight Saving Time is
turned on.
• Turning on DST causes the GMT differential value to be increased by one.
Illumination
An LED (light-emitting diode) illuminate the face of the
watch for easy reading in the dark. The watch’s auto light
switch illuminates the face automatically when you angle
the watch towards your face.
• The auto light switch must be turned on for it to operate.
• See “Illumination Precautions” for other important
information.
To illuminate the face of the watch
In Timekeeping mode (except when a setting screen is on
the display), press B to illuminate the face of the watch.
• The above operation turns on illumination regardless of
the current auto light switch setting.
About the Auto Light Switch
Turning on the auto light switch causes the face to illuminate, whenever you position
your wrist as described below in any mode. Note that this watch features an “Auto LED
Light,” so the auto light switch operates only when available light is below a certain
level. It does not illuminate the face under bright light.
Moving the watch to a position that is parallel to the ground and then tilting it
towards you at more than 40 degrees causes illumination to turn on.
• Wear the watch on the outside of your wrist.
