date in the Timekeeping Mode.
To set the time and date
1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down A until the city
code starts to flash, which indicates the setting screen.
2. Press C to change the flashing contents in the
sequence shown below to select other settings.

MEX, YWG, CHI, MIA, YTO, NYC, YHZ, or YYT is selected as the Home City

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 transmitted from Mainflingen (Germany), Rugby
(England), or Fort Collins (the United States) 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 signals.
• The time calibration signals transmitted from Fukushima and Fukuoka/Saga (Japan)
do not include summer time data.
• The default DST setting is Auto DST ( ) whenever you select LIS, LON, MAD,
PAR, ROM, BER, STO, ATH, MOW, HKG, BJS, TPE, SEL, TYO, HNL, ANC, YVR,
LAX, YEA, DEN, MEX, YWG, CHI, MIA, YTO, NYC, YHZ, or YYT as your Home City
code.
• If you experience problems receiving the time calibration signal in your area, it
probably is 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 city code starts to flash, which
indicates the setting screen.
2. Press C and the DST setting screen appears.
3. Use D to cycle through the DST settings in the sequence shown below.
Auto DST ( ) DST off ( ) DST on ( )
4. When the setting you want is selected, press A to exit the setting screen.
• The DST indicator appears to indicate that Daylight Saving Time is turned on.
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.
Button Operation Tone
The button operation tone sounds any time you press one
of the watch’s buttons. You can turn the button operation
tone on or off as desired.
• Even if you turn off the button operation tone, the alarm,
Hourly Time Signal, and Countdown Timer Mode alarm
all operate normally.
To turn the button operation tone on and off
In any mode (except when a setting screen is on the
display), hold down C to toggle the button operation tone
on (MUTE indicator not displayed) and off (MUTE
indicator displayed).

• Since the C button is also the mode change button, holding it down to turn the
button operation tone on or off also causes the watch’s current mode to change.
• The MUTE indicator is displayed in all modes when the button operation tone is
turned off.
Power Saving Function
When turned on, the Power Saving function enters a sleep
state automatically whenever the watch is left in an area
where it is dark for a certain period. The table below
shows how watch functions are affected by the Power
Saving function.
