Illumination
This watch has an EL (electro-luminescent) panel that
causes the entire display to glow f or easy reading in the
dark. The watch’s auto light switch turns on illumination
automatically when you angle the watch to wards your
face.
• The auto light switch must be turned on (indicated by
the auto light switch on indicator) f or it to operate .
• See “ Illumination Precautions ” for other important
information about using illumination.
T o turn on illumination manuall y
In any mode (except when a setting screen is on the
display), press B to illuminate the displa y for about one
second.
• The above operation turns on illumination regardless of
the current auto light switch setting.

About the Auto Light Switch
T urning on the auto light switch causes illumination to turn on, whenever y ou position
your wrist as described below in any mode, e xcept for the Hand Setting Mode setting
screen.
Moving the watch to a position that is parallel to the g round and then tilting it towards
you more than 40 degrees causes illumination to turn on.
• Wear the watch on the outside of y our wrist.

• When you are wearing the watch, make sure that its auto light switch is turned
off before riding on a bicyc le or operating a motorcyc le or any other motor
vehicle. Sudden and unintended operation of the auto light switch can create a
distraction, whic h can result in a traffic accident and serious personal injury .
T o turn the auto light s witch on and off
In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down D for about three seconds to toggle the auto
light switch on (
displayed) and off ( not displayed).
• The auto light switch on indicator (
) is on the display in all modes while the auto
light switch is turned on.

Moon Phase Indicator
The Moon phase indicator of this watch indicates the current phase of the Moon as
shown below .

• The Moon phase indicator shows the Moon as viewed at noon from a position in the
Nor thern Hemisphere looking south. Note that at times the image shown b y the
Moon phase indicator may diff er from that of the actual Moon in your area.
• The left-right orientation of the Moon phase is reversed when viewing from the
Southern Hemisphere or from a point near the equator.

Moon Phases and Moon Age
The Moon goes through a regular 29.53-day cycle. During each cycle, the Moon
appears to wax and wane as the relativ e positioning of the Earth, Moon, and Sun
changes. The greater the angular distance between the Moon and the Sun,* the more
we see illuminated.
* The angle to the Moon in relation to the direction at which the Sun is visib le from the
Earth.
This watch performs a rough calculation of the current Moon age starting from day 0
of the moon age cycle. Since this watch performs calculations using integer values
only (no fractions), the margin for error of the displa yed Moon age is ± 1 da y .
Thermometer
Temperature Sensor Calibration
The temperature sensor built into the watch is calibr ated at the factory and normally
requires no further adjustment. If you notice serious errors in the temper ature readings
produced by the watch, y ou can calibrate the sensor to correct the errors.
Important!
Incorrectly calibrating the temperature sensor can result in incorrect readings.
Carefully read the following bef ore doing anything.
•
Compare the readings produced by the w atch with those of another reliable and
accurate thermometer .
•
If adjustment is required, remove the w atch from your wrist and wait f or 20 or 30
minutes to give the temper ature of the watch time to stabiliz e.
T o calibrate the temperature sensor
1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down A until the
seconds star t to flash, which indicates the setting
screen.
2. Press C nine times to display the temper ature sensor
calibration screen.
3. Use D (+) and B ( – ) to change the calibration value .
• Y ou can change the v alue in 0.1° C (0.2° F) steps, in a
range of ±10° C (±18 ° F). The calibration value shows
‘‘--. - ’’ when the setting is outside the allowab le range.
• T o return the calibration value to its def ault (no calibration, indicated by ‘‘- - ’’),
press D and B at the same time.
• T emperature sensor calibration will not be possible if the current reading is
outside the allowab le display range (–10.0° C/14.0° F to 60.0°C/140.0 ° F) and the
calibration value shows ‘‘- - ’’.
• Setting a sensor calibration value does not aff ect temperature values that are
already stored in memory .
4. After configur ing the setting you want, press A twice to e xit the setting screen.

T o specify the temperature display unit
1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down A until the

screen.
2. Press C 10 times to displa y the temperature unit
setting screen.
3. Use D to switch betw een Celsius (
) and F ahrenheit
(
).
• The initial factory default and the initial def ault after
battery replacement is Celsius (
).
4. After configur ing the setting you want, press A twice to e xit the setting screen.
• The temperature displa y unit setting you select is also applied to temperature values
that are already stored in memory .

Button Operation T one
The button operation tone sounds an y time you press one
of the watch’s buttons. Y ou can turn the button operation
tone on or off as desired.
• Even if you turn off the button oper ation tone, the alarm,
Hourly Time Signal, and Countdo wn Timer Mode alarm
all operate normally .
T o turn the button operation tone on and off
In any mode (except when a setting screen is on the
display), hold down C to toggle the button operation tone
on (
not display ed) and off ( display ed).
• Since the C button is also the mode change button, holding it do wn to turn the
button operation tone on or off also causes the w atch’ s current mode to change .
• The
indicator is display ed in all modes when the button operation tone is turned
off.
Mute indicator
Auto Return Feature
• If you leave a screen with flashing digits on the displa y without performing any
operation f or two or three minutes, the watch sa ves any settings y ou have made up
to that point and exits the setting screen automatically .
• The watch will change to the Timekeeping Mode automatically if you do not perf or m
any operation in the Hunting/Fishing Mode , T emperature Data Recall Mode, Alarm
Mode, or Hand Setting Mode for tw o or three minutes.
Scrolling
The B and D buttons are used in v arious modes and setting screens to scroll
through data on the display . In most cases, holding do wn these buttons during a scroll
operation scrolls through the data at high speed.
Timekeeping
• Resetting the seconds to 00 while the current count is in the range of 30 to 59
causes the minutes to be increased b y 1. In the range of 00 to 29, the seconds are
reset to 00 without changing the minutes.
• With the 12-hour format, the P (PM) indicator appears on the display f or times in the
range of noon to 11:59 p .m. and the A (AM) indicator appears for times in the r ange
of midnight to 11:59 a.m.
• With the 24-hour format, times are displayed in the r ange of 0:00 to 23:59, without
any indicator .
• The year can be set in the range of 2000 to 2099.
• The watch ’s built-in full automatic calendar mak es allowances f or different month
lengths and leap years . Once you set the date, there should be no reason to change
it e xcept after you hav e the watch’s batter ies replaced.
W orld Time
• The seconds count of the W orld Time is synchroniz ed with the seconds count of the
Timekeeping Mode.
• All W orld Time Mode times are calculated from the current time in the Timekeeping
Mode using UTC time differential v alues.
