Getting Acquainted

Congratulations upon your selection of this CASIO watch. To get the most out of your purchase, be sure to carefully read this manual and keep it on hand for later reference when necessary.
Expose the watch to bright light to charge its battery before using it.
You can use this watch even as its battery is being charged by exposure to bright light.
Be sure to read “Battery” of this manual for important
information you need to know when exposing the watch to bright light.

General Guide

Press C to change from mode to mode.
In any mode, press L to illuminate the display.
If the SLEEP indicator is on the display, it means that the display is blank because the watch’s Power Saving function has turned off the display to conserve power. Power Saving automatically turns off the display and puts the watch into a sleep state whenever your watch is left for a certain period where it is dark.
The initial factory default setting is Power Saving on.
The watch recovers from the sleep state if you move it to
a well-lit area the watch towards your face for reading.
It can take up to five seconds for the display to turn on.

Seconds
The 1/100-second stopwatch can measure elapsed time and lap/split times. The stopwatch uses the basic data you input and a pacer signal to calculate the distance you cover while jogging or running. Stopwatch times and your distance are also stored in memory.
The stopwatch measurement operation continues even
if you exit the Stopwatch Mode.
Exiting the Stopwatch Mode while a lap/split time is
frozen on the display clears the lap/split time and returns to elapsed time measurement.
Stopwatch measurements are performed in the
Stopwatch Mode, which you enter by pressing C.
How the Stopwatch Works
There are two ways you can use the stopwatch: to measure elapsed time and lap/split times like a standard stopwatch (see To measure times with the stopwatch), and to keep track of the distance you cover while jogging or running. In order to use the stopwatch to keep track of distance, you must first perform the steps listed below.
1. Set your basic data. See “Basic Data”.
2. Turn on the pacer signal. See “To turn the pacer signal on and off”.
Note
In order to obtain accurate distance calculations, you must set accurate basic data
and keep your exercise pace in accordance with the pacer signal emitted by the watch.
See How Stopwatch Data is Stored for information about the type of data the watch
stores in memory when you use the stopwatch.
Use the Recall Mode to view data stored in memory.
You can view distance covered data only by recalling it in the Recall Mode. It does
not appear on the Stopwatch Mode screen.
To measure times with the stopwatch
Note
Pressing D to perform a lap/split time operation freezes the lap/split time at that
point on the display for about eight seconds. After that, the display returns to normal stopwatch time measurement.
During a stopwatch time measurement operation, the upper part of the display
shows the hour digit and the current lap/split number, the center part shows the current split time, and the lower part shows the current lap time.
When the pacer signal is turned on, it sounds for the first 30 seconds after you start
a stopwatch time measurement operation. After that, the pacer signal sounds for 30 seconds whenever you press B.
If the pacer signal does not sound even though you have it turned on, press B to
change the positions of the lap time and split time on the display. This should cause the pacer signal to sound.
Selecting the Stopwatch Screen Format
The following shows how you can control the position of the lap time and split time on the stopwatch screen.
Lap/Split number
Split time
Lap time
The Lap/Split indicator uses arrows to indicate the location the lap time and split
(elapsed) time.
When you first start a stopwatch operation by pressing A, both the center part and
the lower part of the display show minutes, seconds, and 1/100 second. Whenever the time shown in the lower part of the display is greater than 60 minutes, the display format changes to show hours, minutes, and seconds. Whenever the time in the center part of the display is greater than 10 hours, the display format changes to show hours, minutes, and seconds.

USERS GUIDE 2535
Basic Data
The term “basic data” refers to the pacer signal setup, and information about your stride length.
Important!
You cannot change basic data settings while a Stopwatch Mode time measurement
operation is in progress. Stopwatch operation must be stopped and the Stopwatch screen must be cleared to all zeros before you can change basic data settings.
Whenever you want to change the stride length unit, you must first reset the
Cumulative Total screen to zero. See To reset the cumulative total screen” for information about how to do this.
Be sure to update basic data values whenever the person using the watch changes.
Pacer Signal
The pacer signal of this watch beeps in accordance with a pacer value (rate) set by you. You can use the pacer signal to maintain a constant pace while jogging or running. You can also turn off the pacer signal when you do not want to use it.
The pacer value you set specifies the number of beeps per minute.
Turning on the pacer signal causes the watch to beep at the rate specified by the
pacer value.
You can set a pacer value in the range of 100 to 200 beats per minute, in units of 5.
You can disable the pacer function by setting a pacer value of xxx. While the pacer
value is set to xxx, the watch does not calculate distance covered.
Stride Length
You can specify either centimeters (XM) or inches (Yn) as the stride length unit. The unit you specify for the stride length unit also determines the unit of measurement used for the distance value in the Stopwatch Mode and Recall Mode, as shown below.
Stride Length Unit
Centimeters (XM) Inches (Yn)
The following examples illustrate how you can calculate values for this setting.
239 steps required to run around a 300-meter track. 300 (meters) 239 steps required to run around a 330-yard track. 330 (yards)

Recall Mode

Use the Recall Mode to recall and delete records stored by the Stopwatch Mode.
Stopwatch records are stored in “logs that are created
automatically by the watch. See “Memory Management” for more information.
The title screen of the newest log appears first whenever
you enter the Recall Mode.
Log numbers are automatically assigned in sequence,
starting from 01.
All of the operations in this section are performed in the
Recall Mode, which you enter by pressing C.
To recall stopwatch records
In the Recall Mode, use B to scroll through the log title screens, starting from the newest one, as shown below. When the title screen of the log you want is displayed, use D and A to cycle through the records contained in the log.

Press B.
The cumulative total screen shows the total distance since the last cumulative total
distance reset.
The locations of the lap time and split time (middle or bottom of the display) in the
Stopwatch Record screen are determined by the display format you last selected in the Stopwatch Mode.
The BEST indicator identifies the record that contains the best lap time in the log.
If a best lap time record is deleted automatically when the log becomes full, the
BEST indicator will not be transferred to the record with the next best lap time. See Memory Management for more information about automatic deletion of records.
The unit of measurement used for the distance calculation depends on the unit you
select for your stride length as shown in the table below. See To configure your basic data for more information.

To delete a log
1. In the Recall Mode, display the title screen of the log you want to delete.
See “To reset the cumulative total screen below for information about what
happens when you select the cumulative total screen here.
2. Hold down A and D until the watch beeps and
display.
This deletes the log and all the records inside it. Deleting a log does not change the
cumulative total distance value.
To reset the cumulative total screen
1. In the Recall Mode, display the cumulative total screen.
2. Hold down A and D until the watch beeps and

This resets the cumulative total distance to zero, without deleting any logs or
records. A new cumulative total will start with the next stopwatch operation you perform.
