4. Data Communication Between Watches

If your friend or acquaintance has the same type of watch, data can be transferred
between watches by using the infrared communication function. Data that can be
transferred between watches is indicated below.
• Time settings (time, date, time difference from UTC, daylight savings time)
• Alarm settings
• Dive alarm (depth alarm, dive time alarm) settings
• Anniversary data (graphic)
Following data transfer, the watch settings of the receiving watch change according to the
watch settings of the sending watch.

* Time and alarm settings can also be transferred between other watches equipped with an infrared

communication function that complies with IrWW standards.

Procedure

Refer to part "B. Infrared Communication Mode Operating Procedure" of the previous
section "2. Infrared Communication" for an explanation of the procedure for calling up
each display.
(1) Switch the watch that is to receive data to the reception standby display of the data you

want to receive.

* In the case of time or alarm data,

select the "TIME/ALM / Receive"
menu, and in the case of dive alarm or
anniversary data, select the "toWATCH
/ WaitDATA" menu.

(2) Switch the watch that is to send data

to the transmission display of the
data you want to send (last display of
the menu).

(3) Press button (B) or the EL light

button of the sending watch after
aligning the respective infrared
transmission/reception units of the
sending and receiving watches. A
sound is made by both the sending and receiving watches once data transfer begins.
There is no sound made by the receiving watch if data transfer has failed (in the case
of transferring data between two CYBER AQUALAND watches).

(4) Pressing button (D) for at least 2 seconds on both the sending and receiving watches

returns the watches to the time mode of the standard mode.

* One set of anniversary data (graphic) is sent per transmission. The anniversary graphic that

will be sent changes each time button (C) is pressed during the Annivers (Anniversary Data
Transmission) display.

* When sending time setting data, if the time difference zone (time difference from UTC) of the

sending watch is not present in the receiving watch, a temporary location named "IrWW" is
created in the receiving watch, and that location is corrected to the same time as the time of
the sending watch.
The location "IrWW" cannot be displayed with the "CAPgm" software. After setting the various
watch settings on "CAPgm" and sending those settings to the watch, the location "IrWW" is
deleted automatically.
