5. Press E to exit the setting screen.

Note

• See “Daylight Saving Time (DST)” for details about the DST setting.

• You also need to enter the Timekeeping Mode in order to configure the

following settings.

Display illumination duration (“To specify the illumination duration”)

Power saving on/off (“To turn Power Saving on and off”)

Temperature, barometric pressure, and altitude units (“To select the

temperature, barometric pressure, and altitude units”)

• The year can be set in the range of 2000 to 2099. The day of the week is

calculated automatically in accordance with the date you set.

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.

To toggle the Timekeeping Mode digital time between DST and

Standard Time

1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down E until

the city code starts to flash, which indicates

the setting screen.

2. Press D once and the DST setting screen

appears.

3. Press C to toggle between Daylight Saving

Time (

displayed) and Standard Time

(

4. Press E to exit the setting screen.

• The DST indicator appears on the display to

indicate that Daylight Saving Time is turned on.

Digital Compass

A built-in bearing sensor detects magnetic north and indicates one of 16

directions on the display. Direction readings are performed in the Digital

Compass Mode.

• You can calibrate the bearing sensor if you suspect the direction reading is

incorrect.

To enter and exit the Digital Compass Mode

1. While in the Timekeeping or in any of the other

sensor modes, press A to enter the Digital

Compass Mode.

• At this time, the watch will start a Digital

Compass operation. After about two

seconds, letters appear on the display to

indicate the direction that the 12 o’clock

position of the watch is pointing.

Timekeeping Mode time

• The direction reading on the display is updated each second for up to 20

seconds, after which measurement stops automatically.

• The ACT indicator flashes on the display while a measurement is in

progress.

2. Press D to return to the Timekeeping Mode.

To take a direction reading

1. While the watch is in the Digital Compass

Mode, place it on a flat surface or, if you are

wearing the watch, make sure that your wrist

is horizontal (in relation to the horizon).

2. Point the 12 o’clock position of the watch in

the direction you want to measure.

3. Press A to start a Digital Compass

measurement operation.

• After about two seconds, the direction that the

12 o’clock position of the watch is pointing

appears on the display.

• Also, four pointers appear to indicate magnetic

north, south, east, and west.

• After the first reading is obtained, the watch

continues to take direction readings

automatically each second, for up to 20

seconds.

• During measurement, the watch displays an angle value, a direction

indicator, and four direction pointers, which change dynamically when the

watch is moved. After measurement is complete, the angle value,

direction indicator, and four direction pointers are frozen in accordance

with the last measurement.

• The ACT indicator flashes on the display while a measurement is in

progress.

Note

• Note that taking a measurement

while the watch is not horizontal

(in relation to the horizon) can

result in large measurement error.

• The margin of error for the angle value is ±11 degrees. If the indicated

direction is northwest (NW) and 315 degrees, for example, the actual

direction can be anywhere from 304 to 326 degrees.

• Any ongoing direction measurement operation is temporarily paused while

the watch is performing an alert operation (daily alarm, Hourly Time Signal,

countdown timer alarm) or while illumination is turned on (by pressing L).

The measurement operation resumes for its remaining duration after the

operation that caused it to pause is finished.

• The following table shows the meanings of each of the direction

abbreviations that appear on the display.

• See “Digital Compass Precautions” for other important imformation about

taking direction readings.

Barometer/Thermometer

This watch uses a pressure sensor to measure air pressure (barometric

pressure) and a temperature sensor to measure temperature.

• You can calibrate the temperature sensor and the pressure sensor if you

suspect that readings are incorrect.

To take barometric pressure and temperature readings

Pressing B in the Timekeeping or in any of other

sensor modes enters the Barometer/

Thermometer Mode and automatically starts

barometric pressure and temperature

measurements.

• It can take up to four or five seconds for the

barometric pressure reading to appear after

you enter the Barometer/Thermometer Mode.

• Barometric pressure is displayed in units of

1hPa (or 0.05 inHg).

• The displayed barometric pressure value changes to

hPa (or inHg) if

a measured barometric pressure falls outside the range of 260 hPa to

1100 hPa (7.65 inHg to 32.45 inHg). The barometric pressure value will

reappear as soon as the measured barometric pressure is within the

allowable range.

• Temperature is displayed in units of 0.1°C (or 0.2°F).

• The displayed temperature value changes to

xxx

°C (or °F) if a measured

temperature falls outside the range of –10.0°C to 60.0°C (14.0°F to

140.0°F). The temperature value will reappear as soon as the measured

temperature is within the allowable range.
