• Based on data as of June 2007.
• The rules governing global times (GMT differential and UTC
offset) and summer time are determined by each individual
country.
* In December 2007, Venezuela changed its offset from –4.0 to
–4.5. Note, however, that this watch displays an offset of –4.0 (the
old offset) for the CCS (Caracas, Venezuela) city code.
Using World Time
❚ To check the current summer time on/
off setting
In the World Time Mode, press
the A
A A A A button.
• The second hand moves to “0”
when summer time is turned on,
and to “5” (between “4” and “6”)
when summer time is turned off.
• The second hand will resume
normal operation after about five
seconds.
When summer time is turned on
• When you turn on summer time for a city code that supports time
calibration signal reception, the watch will decide automatically
whether or not to apply the summer time or standard time setting
in accordance with the received signal.
• In the case of a city code that does not support signal reception,
turning on summer time advances the current time setting by one
hour.
• City codes that support signal reception are TYO, HKG, HNL,
ANC, LAX DEN, CHI, and NYC.
• Signal reception is possible in Hong Kong (HKG), Honolulu
(HNL), and Anchorage (ANC) when reception conditions are
good.
• To select summer time manually for a city code that supports
signal reception, turn off summer time for the city code and
then select a city code in the neighboring time zone that will
advance the time by one hour.

Important!
If you are using the watch in Japan, be sure to select TYO (Tokyo)
as your Home City.
Selecting another city code will make it impossible to receive the
time calibration signal, which will cause your time setting to be off.
