Stopwatch
Analog Timekeeping
The analog time of this watch is synchronized with the digital time. The analog time setting is adjusted automatically whenever you change the digital time. Note � After you manually change the digital time setting, the hands of the analog timepiece move clockwise to adjust to the new setting. If the analog time does not match the digital time for any reason, use the procedure described under �To adjust the analog time� to match the analog setting to the digital setting. � Alarms, the Hourly Time Signal, and the display illumination are all disabled while the analog hands are moving. � Whenever you need to manually adjust both the digital and the analog time settings, make sure you adjust the digital setting first. � Depending on how much the hands have to move in order to adjust to the digital time, it may take some time before the analog hands stop moving.
