GPS
The letters “GPS” stand for “Global Positioning System, which was developed and is operated by the United States Department of Defense.
A GPS device picks up radio signals from three or more of the system’s satellites orbiting about 21,000 kilometers above the Earth, and then applies the principles of triangulation to calculate a current position based on the distance between each satellite and the GPS device, and based on each satellites orbit. Each satellite constantly transmits time information required for GPS measurement, a one-second pulse (Universal Coordinated Time), the satellites orbit information (ephemeris data), information about the orbits of all the other satellites (almanac data), and other information. Your watch analyzes the data it receives from the GPS satellites to determine your current location, and calculates the distance you have covered and your bearing.
Important!
The signals of the GPS system are controlled by the Tracking and Control Center (TACC) of the United States, and are subject to intentional precision degradation and signal termination at its discretion.
This watch depends on the reception of radio waves from artificial satellites, so certain conditions can interfere with its operation.
The following conditions can cause radio interference and make reception impossible.
Among buildings or underground
Under ground
Surrounded by skyscrapers
Inside a motor vehicle

Built-in battery Life
Built-in battery capacity becomes 70% of normal after 300 charge/ discharge cycles. Actual built-in battery life depends on operating conditions.
Handling
Be sure to keep the charger contacts of the watch clean at all times. Dirt can cause poor contact. Before charging, wipe the contacts with a dry cloth, tissue paper, etc. Never allow needles, pins, or other metal objects to touch the contacts.
Built-in battery performance deteriorates under low temperatures, which can cause the LOW BATTERY message to appear more quickly than normal.
The allowable temperature range of the charger unit during charging is 5°C to 35°C (41°F to 95°F).
Use only the AC adaptor that comes with the charger unit. Never try to use any other type of AC adaptor.
Never plug the AC adaptor into any power supply that is outside the power supply voltage range marked on the adaptor. Doing so creates the risk of fire, malfunction, and electric shock.
The LED will flash if an error occurs during charging. If this happens, turn the charger units charge switch off and then back on again. If this does not correct the problem, contact your original retailer or authorized CASIO service center.
Take care to avoid cutting or damaging of the AC adaptor’s power cord. Do not place any heavy object on the cord or expose it to heat. A damaged power cord creates the risk of fire, accident, and electric shock.
Never plug in or unplug the AC adaptor while your hands are wet. Doing so creates the risk of electric shock.
Do not plug the AC power cord into an extension cord shared by other devices. Doing so creates the risk of fire, malfunction, and electric shock.
Should the AC adaptor’s power cord become damaged (internal wires exposed, shorted, etc.), request repair from your original retailer or authorized CASIO service center. Using a damaged power cord creates the risk of fire, malfunction, and electric shock.
The AC adaptor will become warm to the touch during charging. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.
Always unplug the AC adaptor from the power outlet when you are not using it.
Never cover the AC adaptor with a tablecloth, rug, blanket, cushion, or similar item while charging. Internal heat build-up creates the risk of fire.

Performing Stopwatch Operations Using GPS Measurement
The watch will not be able to receive GPS data if a stopwatch elapsed
time measurement operation is started before GPS measurement is started. Because of this, only lap times will be displayed by the stopwatch.
The watch will do the following if GPS reception becomes bad during
a stopwatch measurement operation or if there is some problem with the GPS.
Elapsed time continues to be measured.
Distance covered calculation stops.
“– – –” is displayed for speed and pace.
If GPS measurement becomes possible again, the watch will add
on to the last distance traveled value that was measured successfully before GPS measurement stopped.
Time Required for GPS Measurement
The watch normally starts measuring new GPS data within about two minutes, because it remembers data from the last GPS measurement. It can take longer if the data from the last measurement has been corrupted for some reason or if there has been a major change in the orbits of the satellites since the last measurement. The message “TIME OUT” will appear on the display and measurement will stop if GPS measurement cannot be completed within about five minutes. If that happens, perform GPS measurement again.
GPS Measurement Auto Cancel
The TIME OUT message will appear and
GPS acquisition will be canceled if a signal cannot be received within about two minutes after GPS acquisition has started.
If a weak signal can be received and the
stopwatch measurement operation is complete, acquisition will continue for five minutes. If the received contents cannot be recognized, TIME OUT will appear on the display and GPS acquisition will be terminated.
If the GPS signal is interrupted during
measurement, the message “SIGNAL WEAK will appear on the display.
If a weak signal can be received and the
stopwatch measurement is in progress, GPS acquisition will continue.
The message “GPS OFF? YES/NO will
appear after about two minutes if you leave GPS measurement on after you stop a stopwatch elapsed time measurement operation. When this happens, use the A button to move the arrow ( ) to “YES” (initial default selection) or “NO”. Next, press the E button.
If you do not perform any operation for about one minute while the
