Analog Timekeeping
The analog time of this watch is synchronized with the digital time. The analog time
setting is adjusted automatically whenever you change the digital time.
Note
• After you manually change the digital time setting, the hands of the analog timepiece
move clockwise to adjust to the new setting. If the analog time does not match the
digital time for any reason, use the procedure described under “To adjust the analog
time” to match the analog setting to the digital setting.
• Alarms, the Hourly Time Signal, and the display illumination are all disabled while
the analog hands are moving.
• Whenever you need to manually adjust both the digital and the analog time settings,
make sure you adjust the digital setting first.
• Depending on how much the hands have to move in order to adjust to the digital
time, it may take some time before the analog hands stop moving.
To adjust the analog time
1. In the Timekeeping Mode, press B four times to enter
the Hand Setting Mode.
2. Hold down A until the current digital time starts to
flash, which indicates the analog setting screen.
• Note that you will not be able to change to the setting
screen if the analog hands are moving because the
watch is automatically adjusting the analog time to
match the digital time. If this happens, wait until the
hands stop moving.
• The hour hand and minute hand of the watch do not
move while the setting screen is on the display.
3. Press C to advance the analog time setting by
20 seconds.
• Holding down C advances the analog time setting at
high speed.
• If you need to advance the analog time a long way, press C and L at the same
time. This locks the high speed hand movement, so you can release the two
buttons. High-speed hand movement continues until you press any button. It will
also stop automatically after the time advances 12 hours or if an alarm (daily
alarm or Hourly Time Signal) starts to sound.
4. Press A to exit the setting screen.
• To return to the Timekeeping Mode, press B .

Auto light switch indicator
Display Illumination
An LED (light-emitting diode) and a light guide panel
illuminate the display for easy reading in the dark. The
watch’s auto light switch automatically turns on display
illumination when you angle the watch for reading in the
dark.
• The auto light switch must be turned on (indicated by
the auto light switch indicator) for it to operate.
• See “Illumination Precautions” for more important
information.
To illuminate the display
In any mode, press L to turn on illumination.
• The above operation turns on illumination regardless of the current auto light switch
setting.
• You can use the procedure below to select either one second or three seconds as
the illumination duration. When you press
L , the illumination will remain on for
about one second or three seconds, depending on the current illumination duration
setting.
To specify the illumination duration
1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down A until the seconds start to flash, which
indicates the setting screen.
2. While the seconds are flashing, press L to toggle the illumination duration
between three seconds (3" displayed) and one second (3" not displayed).
3. Press A to exit the setting screen.
• When the three-second setting is selected, the three-second (3") indicator remains
on the display in all modes.
About the Auto Light Switch
While the auto light switch is enabled, illumination turns on for about one second or
three seconds, whenever you position your wrist as described below in any mode.
Note that this watch features a “Full Auto Light,” so the auto light switch operates only
when available light is below a certain level. Illumination does not turn on under bright
light.
• Be sure to wear the watch on the outside of your wrist while using the auto light
switch.
Moving the watch to a position that is parallel to the ground and then tilting it
towards you more than 40 degrees causes illumination to turn on.
Warning!
• Always make sure you are in a safe place whenever you are reading the watch
using the auto light switch. Be especially careful when running or engaged in
any other activity that can result in accident or injury. Also take care that
sudden illumination by the auto light switch does not surprise or distract
others around you.
• When you are wearing the watch, make sure that its auto light switch is turned
off before riding on a bicycle or operating a motorcycle or any other motor
vehicle. Sudden and unintended operation of the auto light switch can create
a distraction, which can result in a traffic accident and serious personal injury.
To turn the auto light switch on and off
In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down L for about two seconds to toggle the auto light
switch on ( displayed) or off ( not displayed).
• The auto light switch is automatically turned off whenever battery power is at Level
3. After battery power recovers to Level 2, you will have to perform the above
procedure to turn the auto light switch back on again.
• The auto light switch indicator ( ) is on the display in all modes while the auto
light switch is turned on.
