Warning!
Never try to read your watch when mountain climbing or hiking in
areas that are dark or in areas with poor footing. Doing so is
dangerous and can result in serious personal injury.
Never try to read your watch when running where there is danger of
accidents, especially in locations where there might be vehicular
or pedestrian traffic. Doing so is dangerous and can result in serious
personal injury.
Never try to read your watch when riding on a bicycle or when
operating a motorcycle or any other motor vehicle. Doing so is
dangerous and can result in a traffic accident and serious personal
injury.
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.

In the Timekeeping Mode, an animated figure appears in the text area at
00 and 30 seconds, and whenever the backlight is turned on.
Auto Return Feature
After you perform an operation in any mode (except for the backlight
operation), pressing M returns to the Timekeeping Mode.
If you leave a screen with flashing digits or cursor on the display for two
or three minutes without performing any operation, the watch automatically
saves anything you have input up to that point and exits the setting screen.
Data and Setting Scrolling
The B and C buttons are used in various modes and screens to scroll
through data on the display. In most cases, holding down these buttons
during a scroll operation scrolls through the data at high speed.
12-hour/24-hour Timekeeping Formats
The 12-hour/24-hour timekeeping format you select in the Timekeeping Mode
is also applied in the Dive Time Measurement, World Time, and Alarm Modes.
With the 12-hour format, the P (PM) indicator appears to the left of the
hour digits for times in the range of noon to 11:59 pm. No indicator is
shown from midnight to 11:59 am.
With the 24-hour format, times are indicated in the range of 00:00 to
23:59, with 24 indicator.
World Time Mode
The GMT differential is the time difference of the time zone where the
city is located from Greenwich Mean Time.
The seconds count of the World Time is synchronized with the seconds
count of the Timekeeping Mode.
GMT differential is calculated by this watch based on Universal Time
Coordinated (UTC) data.
The time zone that is displayed when you leave the World Time Mode
will still be displayed when you enter the World Time Mode again.
Backlight Precautions
The electro-luminescent (EL) panel loses illuminating power after very
long use.
The illumination provided by the backlight may be hard to see when
viewed under direct sunlight.
The watch will emit an audible sound whenever the display is illuminated.
It does not indicate malfunction of the watch.
The backlight automatically turns off whenever an alarm sounds.

Auto light switch precautions
Avoid wearing the watch on the inside of your wrist. Doing so causes the
auto light switch to operate when it is not needed, which shortens battery
life. If you want to wear the watch on the inside of your wrist, turn off the
auto light switch feature.
The backlight may not light if the face of the watch is more than 15 degrees
off the parallel as shown below. Make sure that the back of your hand is
parallel to the ground.
Parallel to ground
More than 15
degrees too high
The backlight turns off in about two seconds, even if you keep the
watch pointed towards your face.
Static electricity or magnetic force can interfere with proper operation of
the auto light switch. If the backlight does not light, try moving the watch
back to the starting position (parallel with the ground) and then tilt it back
toward you again. If this does not work, drop your arm all the way down
so it hangs at your side, and then bring it back up again.
Under certain conditions the backlight may not light until about one second
after you turn the face of the watch towards you. This does not necessarily
indicate malfunction of the backlight.
About the Battery
Whenever battery power is below a certain level, the flashing
appears, display characters appear dim, the backlight may fail to light, the
alarm may fail to sound and the auto light switch does not operate. For safety
reasons, the watch will not enter the Dive Time Measurement Mode when
battery power is low. This is indicated by the message
when you hold down M to enter the Dive Time Measurement Mode. Using
the watch while the battery is low can result in abnormal operation.
Even when the battery power is not low, backlight, alarm, and other
sustained high-power consumption operations can cause the flashing
indicator to appear temporarily. In this case, the
disappear from the display in about 10 minutes. However, note that the
above listed functions, which are normally disabled when battery power is
low, are also disabled while the
