BACKLIGHT
In the Timekeeping Mode and World Time Mode, press B to illuminate the display for
about two seconds.
• The backlight may not turn on when you press B under certain conditions in the
World Time Mode. See “To view the time in another zone” for details.
• The backlight of the watch employs an electro-luminescent (EL) light, which 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.

Otherwise, the scrolling operation will be cancelled, and the next press of B will simply
display the current city code and turn on the backlight, as in step 1 of the above
procedure.

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.

setting you want to change.

Time Mode.
• The DST indicator is on the display whenever you display a city for which daylight
saving time is turned on.
The World Time Mode shows the current time in 29 time
zones (28 cities) around the world.
• The time settings of the Timekeeping Mode and the World
Time Mode are independent, so you must make separate
settings for each. Note, however, that the seconds counts
for both modes are synchronized with each other.
• Whenever you change the time setting for any city in the

ALM
World Time Mode, the settings of all other cities are

• Holding down B changes the character at high speed.
4. When the character you want is at the cursor position, press M to move the cursor to
the right.
5. Repeat the steps 3 and 4 until your text is complete.
• You can input up to eight characters for the name.
6. After you input a name, use M to move the cursor to the number area.
• There are eight spaces provided for input of characters of each name, though only
three characters are visible at a time in the animation area. If the name you input has
less than eight characters, use M to move the cursor to the eighth space (which
means you would press M three times after inputting a 5-character name, for example).
Pressing M again while the cursor is at the eighth space causes it to jump down to the
first digit in the number area. When the cursor is at the 12th digit of the number area,
pressing M causes it to jump back up to the first character of the name.
7. Use B to change the character (hyphen, number, or space) at the cursor position in
the number area. The character changes in the following sequence.

• Holding down B changes the character at high speed.
8. When the character you want is at the cursor position, press M to move the cursor to
the right.
9. Repeat steps 7 and 8 until you complete number input.
• You can input up to 12 digits for the number.
10. After inputting your data, press A to store it and return to the Telememo Mode data
screen (without the cursor).
• If you do not perform any button operation for few minutes while the cursor is on the
display, the watch automatically returns to the Telememo Mode data screen.
• The animation area of the display can show only three characters at a time, so longer
text scrolls continuously from right to left.
• The number area can show up to six digits at one time. If a number has more than six
digits, the display automatically switched between the first six digits (counting forward
from the first digit) and the last six digits (counting backward from the last digit) of the
number. This means that if a number is 12 digits long, the number area switches
between the first six digits and the last six digits. If a number is 9 digits long, the
number area switches between digits 1 through 6, and digits 4 through 9.
