Checking the Current Time in a Different Time Zone
You can use the World Time Mode to view the current time in one of 31 time zones (48 cities) around the
globe. The city that is currently selected in the World Time Mode is called the “World Time City”.
To enter the World Time Mode
Use
D to select the World Time Mode (WT) as shown in “Selecting a
Mode”.
• About one second after WT appears on the display, the display will
change to show the city code of the currently selected World Time City.
• The two pointers described below are on the display in the World Time
Mode.
Pointer 1 (not fl ashing): Indicates the current time in the currently
selected World Time City in 24-hour format.
Pointer 2 (fl ashing): Indicates the current Timekeeping Mode time in
24-hour format.
To view the time in another time zone
In the World Time Mode, use
A (East) and C (West) to scroll through city codes.
To specify standard time or daylight saving time (DST) for a city
1. In the World Time Mode, use A (East) and C (West) to display the
city code (time zone) whose Standard Time/Daylight Saving Time
setting you want to change.
2. Hold down E until DST Hold appears on the display and then
disappears. Release E after DST Hold disappears.
• This toggles the city code you selected in step 1 between Daylight
Saving Time (DST indicator displayed) and standard time (DST
indicator not displayed).
• Using the World Time Mode to change the DST setting of the
city code that is selected as your Home City also will change the
Timekeeping Mode time DST setting.
• Note that you cannot switch between standard time/daylight
saving time (DST) while UTC is selected as the World Time City.
• Note that the standard time/daylight saving time (DST) setting
affects only the currently selected time zone. Other time zones are
not affected.
Using the Stopwatch
The stopwatch measures elapsed time, split times, and two fi nishes.
To enter the Stopwatch Mode
Use
D to select the Stopwatch Mode (STW) as shown in “Selecting a
Mode”.
• About one second after STW appears on the display, the display will
change to show the stopwatch hours.
