PART 3 DETERMINING THE DIRECTION TO QIBLA
This part of the manual tells you how to determine Qibla. It also contains information
about the Qibla value.
Important!
Be sure to keep this watch away from any sources of strong magnetism whenever
using the digital compass to determining directions or Qibla. Also note that proper
digital compass operation is impossible while inside a motor vehicle. For details, see
“7-2 Digital Compass Precautions” of this manual.
3-1 Determining Qibla
1. Set your city data.
2. Place the watch on a flat surface or (if
you wearing the watch), make sure
that your wrist horizontal (in relation
to the horizon).
Digital compass operation while the watch is not horizontal can produce erroneous
results.

correctly.

• If any prayer time indicator is on, the prayer alarm indicator is shown on the display
when you change to another mode.
4-3 Prayer Time Precautions
• Compared to astronomical calculations, the accuracy of the prayer time values
produced by this watch is within ±5 minutes.
• When you move from one region to another, be sure that you correctly set the
Timekeeping Mode data (city data, prayer time calculation method, and current time)
for the region you are moving into.
• In Europe, the United States, and other areas that use daylight saving time (summer
time), be sure to make the proper adjustment in the current time and the GMT
differential to allow for standard time or daylight saving time (standard time +1 hour).
Example:
Paris: GMT +1 (standard time) or GMT +2 (daylight saving time)
New York: GMT -5 (standard time) or GMT -4 (daylight saving time)
Remember that if you fail to make the above settings correctly, the prayer times cannot
be calculated and displayed properly.

When you enter the Hijra Date Mode from another mode, the display automatically

Timekeeping Mode setting.
This watch uses a 30-day cycle to calculate the Hijra months. Because of this, the
Hijra date shown by this watch may differ from the actual date.
With the above operation, you can advance the date up to one year. If the current
Timekeeping Mode Gregorian date is June 30, 1994 for example, you can advance
up to June 29, 1995.
Note that the message “NEXT YEAR” appears on the display when you advance the
date into the next year.
