About the backlight
The backlight uses an EL (electro-luminescent) panel that causes the entire display
to glow for easy reading in the dark. Pressing L (LIGHT) in any mode turns on the
EL backlight for about three seconds.
• The backlight remains lit for about three seconds from the point you press L,
even if it is already lit when you press L. If you keep depressed for three seconds,
the backlight will automatically turn off.
• Pressing L lights the backlight and causes a 10-second animation to play.
• The electro-luminescent 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. This is
caused by a transformer that vibrates when the EL panel lights up. It does not
indicate malfunction of the watch.
• The backlight automatically turns off whenever an alarm sounds or a paging
operation is performed.
To switch between standard time and daylight saving time
Daylight saving time (DST), which is also sometimes called “summer time,” advances
the time for one hour, as is the custom in some areas during the summer. Remember
that not all countries or even local areas use Daylight Saving Time.
1. Hold down A while in the Timekeeping Mode until
the seconds digits start to flash on the display. The
seconds flash because they are
selected

2. Press M twice to move the flashing to the DST on/
off setting.
3. Press F to toggle daylight saving time on (
ON)
and off (

• See the documentation that comes with your cell phone for information about which
type it is.
• Module 1507 may not be compatible with certain non-GSM network phone systems.
Paging Interval
Presetting a start time and end time defines the “paging interval”. VIVCEL is activated
each day during the paging interval and deactivated outside the paging interval (as
long as VIVCEL is turned on). You can specify the hour only for these times, within
the range of 1 (1 o’clock) to 24 (midnight).

(
DIGTL, ANLOG, or DUAL) flashes on the
display.
3. Press R or F to scroll through the available cell
phone system indicators until the one you want is
displayed.
4. Press M to advance to the start time setting screen.
• At this time the current start time setting flashes on
the display.

Manual VIVCEL Activation
Press R in the Timekeeping Mode to add two to the current paging interval hour and
round the minutes digits to zero. This means that if it is 10:58 p.m. when you press
R, the paging interval is extended up to 00:00 a.m. Each press of R adds two
hours, up to a total of eight hours.
• Pressing R while VIVCEL is deactivated (outside the paging period), activates
VIVCEL. The watch vibrates when VIVCEL is activated.
• The R button can be used to extend the paging interval for up to eight hours (four
R button operations).
• Any extension of the paging interval with the R button is automatically cancelled
whenever you turn off VIVCEL or change any of its settings.
VIVCEL Precautions
• Since VIVCEL operates by picking up signals from your cell phone, a paging
operation may also be triggered by an outgoing call or even while a call is in progress.
A paging operation can also be triggered by another cell phone or other device
operating on the same frequency as your cell phone.
• Any of the following conditions can cause interference with VIVCEL paging operations.
Obstruction between the watch and cell phone
Sensitivity set to
LOW
while the watch is located away from the cell phone
Use with a non-compatible telephone system
• Frequent use of VIVCEL paging can shorten battery life.
• Turn off VIVCEL before operating a motor vehicle or bicycle to avoid the
chance of accident caused by a paging operation while operating a vehicle.
VIVCEL Operation
Note that for VIVCEL to operate correctly, it must be
turned on (by holding down F) and activated (the
current time is within the paging interval defined by
the VIVCEL start and end times).
• Pressing A in the Timekeeping Mode toggles the
animation area between the day of the week and
the paging interval.
• The paging interval is indicated by a bar graph in
the animation area. The nearby illustration indicates
a paging interval of 10 am to 11 pm.
• VIVCEL automatically activates and deactivates
during the defined paging interval.

WORLD TIME MODE
The World Time Mode shows the current time in 27
cities (29 time zones) around the world.
Timekeeping in the World Time Mode
The current time in all the World Time zones is
calculated in accordance with the Greenwich Mean
Time (GMT) differential for each zone, based on the
current home time setting in the Timekeeping Mode.
You can also turn Daylight Saving Time (DST) on or
off separately for each time zone. Turning on daylight
saving time automatically advances the corresponding
time setting by one hour.
• The seconds count of the World Time is synchronized
with the seconds count in the Timekeeping Mode.
• The 12-hour/24-hour format of the World Time matches the format you select in the
Timekeeping Mode.
• With daylight saving time, clocks are set one hour forward in order to better take
advantage of daylight hours during the summer, when days are longer . Whether or
not daylight saving time is used depends on the country you are in.
To view the Time in Another Zone
Press F while in the World T ime Mode to scroll forward through the city codes (time
zones) and R to scroll back.
• Holding down either button scrolls through the city codes at high speed.
• For full information on city codes, see the “CITY CODE TABLE” at the back of this
manual.
• 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.
