• If you do not operate any button for a few minutes while a selection is flashing, the

flashing stops and the watch goes back to the Timekeeping Mode automatically.

Animation Area

The animation area of the Timekeeping Mode normally
shows the current date’s moon phase. Different animated
figures appear at 00 and 30 seconds.

• The moon phase shown in the animation area is that as

viewed on the current date from a point in the northern
hemisphere looking south. Note that the left-right orien-
tation of the moon phase shown on the display may dif-
fer from that of the actual moon.

• The left-right orientation of the moon phase is reversed

when viewing from the southern hemisphere or from a
point near the equator.

• Note that the moon phase is based on the date as set in

the Timekeeping Mode. The moon phase will not be
correct if the date is not set correctly.

• The stars in the animation area twinkle with each passing second.

• The accuracy of moon age calculations by this watch is  ±2 days.

• The following shows how the different moon phases are represented in the anima-

tion area.

About the backlight
A backlight that uses an EL (electro-luminescent) panel causes the entire display to
glow for easy reading in the dark. Depending on the mode, pressing E or B turns
on the backlight for about three seconds. See the sections that cover each mode for
information on whether you should press E or B.

• 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.

COUNTDOWN ALARM MODE

The Countdown Alarm Mode has three 60-minute timers
whose starting time can be set in one-minute increments.
When the countdown reaches zero, an alarm sounds.

• In the Countdown Alarm Mode, press B to illuminate

the display for about three seconds. To illuminate the
display while setting the countdown time (while the min-
utes digits are flashing), press E.

• The starting times of the countdown timers are preset to

15, 30, and 60 minutes when you purchase it. You can
use these settings as they are, or you can change to
different starting times if you want.

To use a countdown timer
1. Press D while in the Countdown Alarm Mode to select the timer whose time you

want to use.

Timer 1

Timer 3

Timer 2

• Pressing D does not change the timer selection if a countdown timer operation is

currently in progress or is paused. You must stop the ongoing countdown operation
before you can change to another timer.

2. Press E to start the countdown timer.

• When the countdown reaches zero, an alarm sounds for 10 seconds or until you

stop the alarm by pressing any button. The countdown time is automatically reset to
its starting value after the alarm stops.

• Press E while a countdown operation is in progress to pause it. Press E again to

resume the countdown.

• To completely stop a countdown operation, first pause it (by pressing E), and then

press D. This returns the countdown time to its starting value.

To change a countdown time
1. Press D while in the Countdown Alarm Mode to select the timer whose time you

want to change.

2. After you select a timer, hold down A until the minutes digits start to flash on the

display.

3. Press D to increase the minutes. Holding down D changes the minutes at high

speed.

4. After you set the countdown time, press A to return to the Countdown Alarm Mode.

• If you do not operate any button for a few minutes while the minutes digits are

flashing, the flashing stops and the watch goes back to the Countdown Alarm Mode
automatically.
