Current Time Setting

Normally, you do not need to do anything to set the current time as long as you are within an area in West Europe where the watch can pick up the time calibration signal. You can also set the current time manually when you are outside the range of the signal.

• Before using the watch after purchasing it, use the procedure under “Selecting Your

Home City Code” to specify your Home City, and then use the procedure under “To perform manual time calibration signal reception”.

• Note that after you set your Home City code, you must also turn on the watch’s time

calibration signal receiver if you want to enable auto time calibration. See “About Auto Receive” for more information.

• See “Setting the Digital Time and Date Manually” for information about manual

settings.

• The analog time of this watch is synchronized with the digital time. Because of this,

the analog time setting is automatically adjusted whenever you change the digital setting. See “Analog Timekeeping” for more information.

Setting the Digital Time and Date Manually

Once you select a Home City code and set its time, you can view the current time in other cities by simply changing the city code setting. Even if you plan to use the watch without enabling auto time calibration, be sure to select a Home City code (the city code whose time and date you are setting), before you set the time and date.

Time Calibration Signal Reception

This watch is designed to pick up a time calibration signal transmitted from Mainflingen, Germany and update its time setting in accordance with the signal. There are two different methods you can use to receive the signal: Auto Receive and Manual Receive. With Auto Receive, the watch automatically receives the calibration signal twice each day and makes appropriate adjustments. With Manual Receive, you perform a specific button operation to receive the calibration signal.

Note

• If you are using the time calibration signal to set the time for this watch, be sure to

correctly set your Home City. Otherwise, there is the chance that the watch will not set the correct time. See the “To select your Home City code” for details.

• Time calibration reception is limited to specific geographic areas in West Europe.

• The current time setting in accordance with the time calibration signal takes priority

over any time settings you make.

• The watch is designed to automatically update the date and day of the week for the

period January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2039. Setting of the date by the time calibration signal cannot be performed starting from January 1, 2040.

• This watch can receive signals that differentiate between leap years and non-leap years.

• Auto Receive is turned on when the watch is shipped from the factory.

• See the information under “Time Calibration Signal Reception Precautions” if you

experience problems with time calibration signal reception.

Auto Summer Time (DST) Switching

The time calibration signal transmitted from Mainflingen, Germany includes both standard time and summer time (Daylight Saving Time or DST) data. Because of this, the watch automatically switches between standard time and summer time (DST) automatically whenever BER, LON, PAR, CAI, or JRS is selected as the Home City code.

• Daylight Saving Time (DST) advances the time setting by one hour from Standard

Time. Remember that not all countries or even local areas use Daylight Saving Time.

About the Receiving Indicator

The receiving indicator shows the strength of the calibration signal being received. For best reception, be sure to keep the watch in a location where signal strength is strongest.

(Level 1) (Level 4) (Level 1) (Level 4)

• Even in an area where signal strength is strong, it takes about 10 seconds for signal

reception to stabilize enough for the receiving indicator to indicate signal strength.

• Use the receiving indicator as a guide for checking signal strength and for finding the

best location for the watch during signal receive operations.

• The receiving indicator (Level 4) remains on the display in all modes following

reception of the time calibration signal and calibration of the watch’s time setting. The receiving indicator (Level 4) is not displayed if signal reception was unsuccessful or after manual adjustment of the current time setting.

About Auto Receive

When auto receive is turned on, the watch automatically starts to receive the time calibration signal when the digital time in the Timekeeping Mode reaches 2:00 AM, and 4:00 AM each day (calibration times).

Note

• The Auto Receive operation is performed only if the watch is in the Timekeeping

Mode when one of the calibration times is reached. It is not performed if the calibration time is reached while you are making settings (while settings are flashing on the display).

OFF (Default for CAI and JRS)

1. Place the watch on a stable surface to its top (12 o’clock side) is facing in the general direction of Frankfurt, Germany.

• Position the watch so the case is pointing upwards as

shown in the nearby illustration. This puts the watch in the optimum position for time calibration signal reception.

• Note that signal reception is poor if the watch is on its

back or side.

2. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down D for about two seconds, until the watch beeps and the current time is flashing on the display.

• This indicates that signal reception has started.

• Time calibration signal reception takes from four to 11

minutes. Take care that you do not move the watch during this time.

• Auto receipt of the calibration signal is designed to be performed early in the

morning, while you sleep (provided that the digital time is set correctly). Before going to bed for the night, remove the watch from your wrist, and put it in a location where it can easily receive the signal.

• The Level 4 receiving indicator (

reception attempts were successful. If you do not see the Level 4 receiving indicator, it means there was some problem with the last calibration reception operation. Either perform reception manually, or make sure the watch is set up properly to receive the time calibration signal for the next automatic reception time.

• Even if the calibration reception is successful, the Level 4 receiving indicator

disappears every day at 3am.

• When auto receive is turned on, the watch receives the calibration signal for four to

11 minutes each day when the digital time reaches 2:00 AM, and 4:00 AM. Do not operate any of the watch’s buttons within 15 minutes prior to or following the calibration times. Doing so can interfere with correct calibration.

• Remember that reception of the calibration signal depends on the time shown on the

digital display. The receive operation will be performed whenever the digital display shows 2:00 AM, and 4:00 AM, regardless of whether or not the displayed time is actually the correct time.

• When two receptions are successful, the watch uses the data of the last reception

for calibration. When only one reception is successful, the watch uses the data of the successful reception.

To turn auto receive on and off

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

• Whenever you manually change the digital time setting or Home City code, or if the

time is adjusted by receipt of a time calibration signal, the hands of the analog timepiece move clockwise or counter 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.

• Whenever you need to adjust both the digital and the analog time settings manually,

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.

• The analog time does not change while a signal receipt operation is in progress.

After the receive operation is complete, the analog time is automatically adjusted to match the digital time.

• If a signal receive operation is performed while the analog time and digital time do

not match, the digital time will be adjusted correctly but the analog time may not be adjusted. If this happens, perform the steps below to adjust the analog time.

Battery

This watch is equipped with a solar cell and a rechargeable battery (secondary battery) that is charged by the electrical power produced by the solar cell.

Important!

• Storing the watch for long periods in an area where there is no light or wearing it in

such a way that it is blocked from exposure to light can cause rechargeable battery power to run down. Be sure that the watch is normally exposed to light whenever possible.

• This watch employs a solar cell that converts light into electricity that charges a built-

in rechargeable battery. Normally, the rechargeable battery should not need replacement, but after very long use over a number of years, the rechargeable battery may lose its ability to achieve a full charge. Should you notice problems with getting the rechargeable battery to a full charge, contact your dealer or CASIO distributor about having the rechargeable battery replaced.

• The rechargeable battery should be replaced with a CASIO-specified CTL1616 battery

only. Other rechargeable batteries can cause damage to the watch.

• Tur n on the watch’s sleep mode and keep it in an area normally exposed to light

when storing it for long periods. This helps to keep the rechargeable battery from going dead.

Battery Power Indicator

The battery power indicator on the display shows you the current status of the rechargeable battery’s power.

Battery power indicator

RECOVER indicator

• At Level 4, all functions are disabled. Functions are enabled once again after the

rechargeable battery is charged, but anything previously stored in memory is lost. Because of this, you must set the current time and alarms, and re-input Telememo records after the rechargeable battery is charged.

• Leaving the watch in direct sunlight or some other very strong light source can

cause the battery power indicator to temporarily show a reading that is actually higher than the battery level. The correct battery power indicator should appear after a few minutes.

• If you use the light or alarms a number of times during a short period, a RECOVER

indicator ( )appears on the display and the following operations become disabled until battery power recovers.

• This watch is able to receive the time calibration signal

transmitted from Mainflingen, Germany (located 25 kilometers southeast of Frankfurt). Signal reception is possible within the area represented by a circle with a radius of about 1,000 kilometers. At distances further than about 500 kilometers, the signal may become weak and reception may be impossible under certain conditions.

• Even when the watch is within the reception range,

signal reception is impossible if the signal is blocked by mountains or other geological formations between the watch and signal source.

• Signal reception may be poor in the shaded area on the

map, even though it is within 1,000 kilometers of the signal transmitter.

• Signal reception is affected by weather, atmospheric

conditions, and seasonal changes.

• The time calibration signal is bounced off the

ionosphere. Because of this, such factors as changes in the reflectivity of the ionosphere, as well as movement of the ionosphere to higher altitudes due to seasonal atmospheric changes or the time of day may change the reception range of the signal and make reception temporarily impossible.

USER’S GUIDE 2367/2739

• This watch is designed to receive the signal transmitted from Mainflingen. This

means that reception is best when the antenna built into the 12 o’clock edge of the watch is facing towards Mainflingen. Note, however, that moving the watch while the time calibration signal receive operation is taking place will make stable reception impossible.

• Think of the watch as acting like a TV or radio when it is receiving the calibration

signal. When receiving indoors, move to a location as near as possible to a window. Proper signal reception can be difficult or even impossible under the conditions listed below.

Near TVs, refrigerators, computers, or other household appliances Far away from broadcasting stations among ferro-concrete structures or near mountains Underground, in tunnels or in ferro-concrete buildings Near high-tension wires, neon signs, or radio stations with interfering frequencies Near railroads, highways or airports In trains or cars

• Radio interference can make signal reception impossible.

• Signal reception is normally better at night than during the day.

• Strong electrostatic charge can result in the wrong time being set.

• The daily alarm and hourly time signal do not operate during signal reception.

• If you are in an area where proper time calibration signal reception is impossible, the watch keeps time within ±15 seconds a month at normal temperature.

Signal Receive Troubleshooting

Check the following points whenever you experience problems with your watch.

Problem

Cannot perform manual receive.

Auto receive is turned on, but the receiving indicator (Level

4) does not appear on the display.

Time setting is incorrect following signal reception.

Timekeeping

• Note that you cannot switch between standard time and Daylight Saving Time while

GMT is selected as the city code.

• The day of the week is automatically displayed in accordance with the date (year, month, and day) settings.

• The year can be set in the range of 2000 to 2039.

• The watch’s built-in full automatic calendar automatically makes allowances for

different month lengths and leap years. Once you set the date, there should be no reason to change it except after you have the watch’s battery replaced.

• The current time for all city codes in the Timekeeping Mode is calculated in accordance with the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) differential for each city, based on the your Home City time setting.

• GMT differential is calculated by this watch based on Universal Time Coordinated (UTC) data.

12-hour/24-hour Timekeeping Formats

The 12-hour/24-hour timekeeping format you select in the Timekeeping Mode is also applied in all other modes.

• With the 12-hour format, the P (PM) indicator appears to the left of the hour digits for times in the range of noon to 11:59 p.m. and the no indicator appears to the left of the hour digits for times in the range of midnight to 11:59 a.m.

• With the 24-hour format, times are displayed in the range of 0:00 to 23:59, with 24 indicator.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to input the rest of the characters you want.

Sleep Mode

While the sleep mode is turned on, the watch automatically goes to "sleep" to save power whenever it is left in a place where lighting is dim (less than about 30 lux). The following shows how watch functions are affected when left in a dark place while in the sleep mode.

Approximate Period in

Sleep Mode

3 to 4 days

8 days or more

To exit the sleep mode, move the watch to a location that is more brightly lit, or press any button.

• It takes up to about five seconds for the watch to recover from the sleep mode.

• Even when the watch is in the sleep mode, digital-analog time coordination and auto

signal receive are both performed.

• See “To set the current digital time and date manually” for information about configuring sleep mode settings.

Probable Cause

•

The watch is not in the Timekeeping Mode.

• You changed the time setting

manually.

• The watch was not in the

Timekeeping Mode or you were performing some button operation during the last auto signal receive operation was performed.

•

Even if receive is successful, the receiving indicator (Level 4) disappears every day at 3am.

•

If the time is one hour off, DST setting may be incorrect.

• The Home City Code setting is not

correct for the area where you are using the watch.

1. When the cursor is on the display, use B and D to cycle through the available letters, numbers and symbols, in the sequence shown below.

(space)

• Enter the Timekeeping Mode

and try again.

• Perform manual signal receive

or wait until the next auto signal receive operation is performed.

• Check to make sure the watch

is in a location where it can receive the signal.

•

Put the watch in a location that is suitable for good reception.

• Change the DST setting to Auto

DST.

• Select the correct Home City

Code.

Press D.

Functions

Backlight Precautions

The backlight uses an EL (electro-luminescent) panel that causes the entire display to glow for easy reading in the dark. In any mode, press B to illuminate the display for about one second.

• The electro-luminescent panel that provides illumination loses power after very long

use.

• The illumination provided by the backlight may be hard to see when viewed under

direct sunlight.

• The watch may emit an audible sound whenever the display is illuminated. This is

due to vibration of the EL panel used for illumination, and does not indicate malfunction.

• The backlight automatically turns off whenever an alarm sounds.

• Frequent use of the backlight runs down the battery.
