Operation Guide 3035
Illumination
This watch has an EL (electro-luminescent) panel that
causes the entire display to glow for easy reading in the
dark.
Illumination Precautions
• The electro-luminescent panel that provides illumination
loses power after very long use.
• Illumination may be hard to see when viewed under
direct sunlight.
• The watch may emit an audible sound whenever the
display is illuminated. This is due to vibration of the EL
panel used for illumination, and does not indicate
malfunction.
• Illumination turns off automatically whenever an alarm
sounds.
• Frequent use of illumination runs down the battery.
To illuminate the display
In any mode, press L to turn on illumination.
• You can use the procedure below to select either 1.5 seconds or 3 seconds as the
illumination duration. When you press L, the illumination will remain on for about
1.5 seconds or 3 seconds, depending on the current 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 B to toggle the
illumination duration between 1.5 seconds ( ) and 3
seconds ( ).
3. Press A to exit the setting screen.
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.
• The alarm, Hourly Time Signal, and preset timer tones
will sound even when the button operation tone is
turned off.
To turn the button operation tone on and off
Mute indicator
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.
Auto Return Features
• If you leave the watch in the Alarm Mode for two or three minutes without performing
any operation, it changes to the Timekeeping Mode automatically.
• If you leave a screen with flashing digits on the display for two or three minutes
without performing any operation, the watch saves any settings you have made up
to that point and exits the setting screen automatically.
Scrolling
The B and D buttons are used in various modes and setting screens to scroll
through data on the display. In most cases, holding down these buttons scrolls at high
speed.
Initial Screens
When you enter the World Time or Alarm Mode, the data you were viewing when you
last exited the mode appears first.
World Time
• The seconds count of the World Time is synchronized with the seconds count of the
Timekeeping Mode.
• All World Time Mode times are calculated from the current Home City time in the
Timekeeping Mode using UTC time differential values.
• UTC differential is a value that indicates the time difference between a reference
point in Greenwich, England and the time zone of each city code.
• The letters "UTC" is the abbreviation for "Universal Time Coordinated", which is the
world-wide scientific standard of timekeeping. It is based upon carefully maintained
atomic (cesium) clocks that keep time accurately to within microseconds. Leap
seconds are added or subtracted as necessary to keep UTC in sync with the Earth's
rotation.
