00 while the current count is in the range of 30 to 59
causes the minutes to be increased by 1. In the range of 00 to 29, the seconds are
reset to 00 without changing the minutes.
• The year can be set in the range of 2000 to 2039.

World Time
• The seconds count of the World Time is synchronized with the seconds count of the
Timekeeping Mode.
• The World Time that appears in the upper part of the Timekeeping Mode screen
always uses 24-hour format, regardless of the watch's current 12/24-hour setting.
• The current time in all World Time Mode cities is calculated in accordance with the
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) differential for each city, based on the current Home
City time setting in the Timekeeping Mode.
• The GMT differential is the time difference of the time zone where the city is located
from Greenwich Mean Time.
• GMT differential is calculated by this watch based on Universal Time Coordinated
(UTC) data.
Backlight Precautions
The backlight uses an EL (electro-luminescent) panel that causes the entire display to
glow for easy reading in the dark.
In any mode, press B to illuminate the display for about two seconds.
• The electro-luminescent panel that provides illumination loses power after very long
use.
• The illumination provided by the backlight 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.
• The backlight automatically turns off whenever an alarm sounds.
• Frequent use of the backlight shortens the battery life.
