E-13

To toggle the Timekeeping Mode time between DST and Standard Time

1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down A until the seconds start to flash, which indicates the setting screen.

2. Press C once to display the DST setting screen.

3. Press D to toggle between Daylight Saving Time (On displayed) and Standard Time (OF displayed).

4. Press A twice to exit the setting screen.

x The DST indicator appears on the Timekeeping, Moon/Tide Data, and Alarm Mode screens to indicate that Daylight Saving Time is turned on. In the case of the Moon/Tide Data Mode, the DST indicator appears on the tide data screen only.

Home Site Data

Moon phase, tide graph data, and Moon/Tide Data Mode data will not be displayed properly unless Home Site data (UTC differential, longitude, and lunitidal interval) is configured correctly.

x The UTC differential is a value that indicates the time difference between a reference point in Greenwich, England and the time zone where a city is located.

x The letters “UTC” is the abbreviation for “Coordinated Universal Time”, which is the world-wide scientific standard of timekeeping. It is based upon carefully maintained atomic (cesium) clocks that keep time accurately to within microseconds. Leap seconds are added or subtracted as necessary to keep UTC in sync with the Earth’s rotation.

x The lunitidal interval is the time elapsing between the Moon’s transit over a meridian and the next high tide at that meridian. See “Lunitidal Interval” (page E-45) for more information.

x This watch displays lunitidal intervals in terms of hours and minutes.

x The “Site/Lunitidal Interval Data List” at the back of this manual provides UTC differential and longitude information around the world.

x The following is the initial factory default Home Site data (Tokyo, Japan) when you first purchase the watch, and whenever you have the battery replaced. Change these settings to match the area where you normally use the watch.

UTC differential (+9.0); Longitude (East 140 degrees); Lunitidal interval (5 hours, 20 minutes)

To configure Home Site data
