zone where that city is located. When setting the digital time, it is important that you
select the correct city code for your Home City. If your location is not included in the
preset city codes, select the preset city code that is in the same time zone as your
location.

• Note that all of the times for the World Time Mode city codes are displayed in
accordance with the digital time and date settings you configure in the Timekeeping
Mode.
