Getting Acquainted

Congratulations upon your selection of this CASIO watch. To get the most out of your purchase, be sure to read this manual carefully.

Keep the watch exposed to bright light

Bright Light

Solar cell

• The watch continues to operate, even when it is not exposed to light. Leaving the watch in the dark can cause the battery to run down, which will result in some watch functions to be disabled. If the battery goes dead, you will have to re-configure watch settings after recharging. To ensure normal watch operation, be sure to keep it exposed to light as much as possible.

Battery charges in the light. Battery discharges in the dark.

Solar cell (Converts light to electrical power.)

Charge

The electricity generated by the solar cell of the watch is stored by a built-in battery. Leaving or using the watch where

it is not exposed to light causes the battery to run down.

Make sure the watch is exposed to light as much as possible.

•

When you are not wearing the watch on your wrist, position the face so it is pointed at a source of bright light.

• You should try to keep the watch outside of your sleeve as much as possible. Charging is reduced significantly if the face is only partially covered.

• When using the watch outside the range of the time signal transmitter, you have to adjust the current time setting manually as required. See “Timekeeping” for more information about manual time settings.

To set your Home City

City code

This watch receives a time calibration signal and updates its time setting accordingly. The time calibration signal includes both Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time (summer time) data.

• This watch is designed to pick up the time calibration signal transmitted from Mainflingen, Germany and the signal from Rugby, England.

• In the Timekeeping Mode, you can press A to toggle the display contents.

Current Time Setting

This watch adjusts its time setting automatically in

Seconds

accordance with a time calibration signal. You can also perform a manual procedure to set the time and date, when necessary.

1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down A until the city

code starts to flash, which indicates the setting screen.

2. Use D(east) and B(west) to select the city code you

Important!

• Normally, your watch should show the correct time as soon as you select your Home City code. If it does not, it should adjust automatically after the next auto receive operation (in the middle of the night). You can also perform manual receive or you can set the time manually.

• If you are in an area that does not use Daylight Saving Time (summer time), turn off the DST setting.

Time Calibration Signal Reception

There are two different methods you can use to receive the time calibration signal: auto receive and manual receive.

• Auto Receive

With auto receive, the watch receives the time calibration signal automatically up to six times a day. When any auto receive is successful, the remaining auto receive operations are not performed. For more information, see “About Auto Receive”.

• Manual Receive

Manual receive lets you start a time calibration receive operation with the press of a button. For more information, see “To perform manual receive”.

Important!

• When getting ready to receive the time calibration signal, position the watch as shown in the nearby illustration, with its 12 o’clock side facing towards a window. Make sure there are no metal objects nearby.

Operation Guide 3017

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

• Time calibration signal reception takes from two to six minutes, but some cases it

can take as long as 12 minutes. Take care that you do not perform any button operations or move the watch during this time.

• When within range of the applicable transmitter, this watch can receive either the Germany (Mainflingen) or England (Rugby) time calibration signals.

See “Transmitters” for more information.

Reception Ranges

1,500 kilometers

Rugby

500 kilometers

• This watch is designed to receive the time calibration signal transmitted from Mainflingen, Germany and the signal from Rugby, England. Signal reception is possible within the area represented by a circle with a radius of about 1,500 kilometers.

• At distances further than about 500 kilometers from a transmitter, signal reception may not be possible during certain times of year or times of day. Radio interference may also cause problems with reception.

• Even when the watch is within the reception range of the transmitter, signal reception will be impossible if the signal is blocked by mountains or other geological formations between the watch and signal source.

• Signal reception is affected by weather, atmospheric conditions, and seasonal changes.

• See the information under “Signal Reception Troubleshooting” if you experience problems with time calibration signal reception.

About Auto Receive

The watch receives the time calibration signal automatically up to six times a day. When any auto receive is successful, the remaining auto receive operations are not performed. The reception schedule (calibration times) depends on your currently selected Home City, and whether standard time or Daylight Saving Time is selected for your Home City.

Note

• Auto receive is turned on whenever LIS, LON, BCN, MAD, PAR, MIL, ROM, BER, STO, or ATH is selected as the Home City code.

Note

• Auto receive works only while the watch is in the Timekeeping Mode or World Time Mode. Auto receive is not performed if an auto receive time is reached while an alarm is sounding, while a countdown timer operation is in progress, or while a setting screen (a screen with a flashing setting) is on the display.

• Auto receive of the calibration signal is designed to be performed early in the morning, while you sleep (provided that the Timekeeping Mode 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 receive the signal easily.

• When auto receive is turned on, the watch receives the calibration signal for two to five minutes everyday when the Timekeeping Mode time reaches each of the calibration times. Do not perform any button operation within five minutes before or after any one of the calibration times. Doing so can interfere with correct calibration.

• Remember that reception of the calibration signal depends on the time kept in the Timekeeping Mode. The receive operation will be performed whenever the display shows any one of the calibration times, regardless of whether or not the Timekeeping Mode time actually is the correct time.

• Calibration signal reception is disabled while a countdown timer operation is in progress.

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.

• 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.

• Following reception of the time calibration signal and calibration of the watch’s time setting, the Level 3 receiving indicator will remain on the display in all modes. The Level 3 receiving indicator will not be displayed if signal reception was unsuccessful or after you adjust the current time setting manually.

• The Level 3 receiving indicator is displayed only when the watch is able to receive both time and date data successfully. It does not appear when only time data is received.

• The Level 3 receiving indicator indicates that at least one of the auto calibration signal receive operations was successful. Note, however, that the Level 3 receiving indicator is cleared from the display when the first auto receive operation of the day is performed.

Warning!

• Always make sure you are in a safe place whenever you are reading the watch using the auto light switch. Be especially careful when running or engaged in any other activity that can result in accident or injury. Also take care that sudden illumination by the auto light switch does not startle or distract others around you.

• When you are wearing the watch, make sure that its auto light switch is turned off before riding on a bicycle, or operating a motorcycle or any other motor vehicle. Sudden and unintended operation of the auto light switch can create a distraction, which can result in a traffic accident and serious personal injury.

To turn the auto light switch on and off

In any mode, hold down B for about two seconds to toggle the auto light switch on (auto light switch indicator displayed) and off (auto light switch indicator not displayed).

• The auto light switch indicator remains in all modes while the auto light switch is turned on.

Power Supply

This watch is equipped with a solar cell and a special rechargeable battery (secondary battery) that is charged by the electrical power produced by the solar cell. The illustration shown below shows how you should position the watch for charging.

Example: Orient the watch so its face

is pointing at a light source.

• The illustration shows how to position a watch with a resin band.

• Note that charging efficiency drops when any part of the solar cell is blocked by clothing, etc.

• You should try to keep the watch outside of your sleeve as much as possible. Charging is reduced significantly if the face is only partially covered.

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. Make sure that the watch is normally exposed to bright light whenever possible.

• This watch uses a special rechargeable battery to store power produced by the solar cell, so regular battery replacement is not required. However, after very long use, the rechargeable battery may lose its ability to achieve a full charge. If you experience problems getting the special rechargeable battery to charge fully, contact your dealer or CASIO distributor about having it replaced.

• Never try to remove or replace the watch’s special battery yourself. Use of the wrong type of battery can damage the watch.

• The current time and all other settings return to their initial factory defaults whenever battery power drops to Level 5 and when you have the battery replaced.

• Turn on the watch’s Power Saving function and keep it in an area normally exposed to bright light when storing it for long periods. This helps to keep the rechargeable battery from going dead.

Battery Power Indicator and Recover Indicator

The battery power indicator shows you the current power level of the rechargeable battery.

Battery power indicator

Recover indicator

• The LOW indicator flashes on the display in the Timekeeping Mode when battery is at Level 3.

• The LOW indicator at Level 3 and the flashing charge indicator (CHG) at Level 4 tell you that battery power is very low, and that exposure to bright light for charging is required as soon as possible.

• At Level 5, all functions are disabled and settings return to their initial factory defaults. Functions are enabled once again after the rechargeable battery is charged, but you need to set the time and date, after the battery reaches Level 4 (indicated by the flashing charge indicator) from Level 5. You will not be able to configure any of the other settings until the battery reaches Level 3 (no charge indicator) after dropping to Level 5.

•

Leaving the watch in direct sunlight or some other very strong light source can cause the battery power indicator to show a reading that is momentarily higher than the actual 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, the recover indicator (RECOV) appears and the following operations become disabled until battery power recovers.

Illumination Beeper tone

After some time, battery power will recover and the recover indicator will disappear, indicating that the above functions are enabled again.

Charging Precautions

Certain charging conditions can cause the watch to become very hot. Avoid leaving the watch in the areas described below whenever charging its rechargeable battery. Also note that allowing the watch to become very hot can cause its liquid crystal display to black out. The appearance of the LCD should become normal again when the watch returns to a lower temperature.

Warning! Leaving the watch in bright light to charge its rechargeable battery can cause it to become quite hot. Take care when handling the watch to avoid burn injury. The watch can become particularly hot when exposed to the following conditions for long periods.

• On the dashboard of a car parked in direct sunlight

• Too close to an incandescent lamp

• Under direct sunlight

Auto Return Features

• If you leave the watch in the Alarm Mode for two or three minutes without performing any operation, it returns to the Timekeeping Mode automatically.

• If you leave the watch with a flashing setting on the display for two or three minutes without performing any operation, the watch exits the setting screen automatically.

Scrolling

The B and D buttons are used in various modes and setting screens to scroll through data. In most cases, holding down these buttons during a scroll operation scrolls through the data at high speed.

Initial Screens

When you enter the World Time or Alarm Mode, the data you were viewing when you last exited the mode appears first.

Radio-controlled Timekeeping Precautions

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

• 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.

• Even if the time calibration signal is received properly, certain conditions can cause the time setting to be off by up to one second.

• The current time setting in accordance with the time calibration signal takes priority over any time settings you make.

The button operation tone sounds any time you press one of the watch’s buttons. You can turn the button operation tone on or off as desired.

• Even if you turn off the button operation tone, the alarm, Hourly Time Signal, and Countdown Timer Mode alarm all operate normally.

To turn the button operation tone on and off

In any mode (except when a setting screen is on the display), hold down C to toggle the button operation tone on (MUTE not displayed) and off (MUTE displayed).

When turned on, the Power Saving function enters a sleep state automatically whenever the watch is left in an area where it is dark for a certain period. The table below shows how watch functions are affected by the Power Saving function.

Operation Guide 3017

• The watch is designed to update the date and day of the week automatically for the period January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2099. Setting of the date by a time calibration signal cannot be performed starting from January 1, 2100.

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

• Though this watch is designed to receive both time data (hour, minutes, seconds) and date data (year, month, day), certain signal conditions can limit reception to time data only.

• Normally, the signal reception date shown by the Last Signal screen is the date data included in the received time calibration signal. When only time data is received, however, the Last Signal screen shows the date as kept in the Timekeeping Mode at the time of 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.

• If you have problems with proper time calibration signal reception or if the time setting is wrong after signal reception, check your current city code, DST (summer time), and auto receive settings. The following are the initial factory defaults for these settings.

Setting

City code DST (summer time)

Auto receive

Transmitters

This watch is designed to receive the time calibration signal transmitted from Mainflingen, Germany and the signal from Rugby, England. You can configure the watch to automatically select the transmitter that has the strongest signal.

In this case:

The first signal auto search operation after factory default settings are in effect, or after the city code has been changed

Any case other than the above.

Timekeeping

• Resetting the seconds to 00 while the current count is in the range of 30 to 59 causes the minutes to be increased by 1. In the range of 00 to 29, the seconds are reset to 00

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

• The year can be set in the range of 2000 to 2099.

• The watch’s built-in full automatic calendar 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 or when battery power drops to Level 5.

• The times for the Timekeeping Mode and all the city codes of the World Time Mode are calculated in accordance with each city’s UTC differential.

• The UTC differential is a value that indicates the time difference between a reference point in Greenwich, England and the time zone where a city is located.

• The letters “UTC” is the abbreviation for “Universal Time Coordinated”, which is the world-wide scientific standard of timekeeping. It is based upon carefully maintained atomic (cesium) clocks that keep time accurately to within microseconds. Leap seconds are added or subtracted as necessary to keep UTC in sync with the Earth’fs rotation.

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 PM indicator (P) appears on the display for times in the range of noon to 11:59 p.m. and no indicator appears 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, without any indicator.

Illumination Precautions

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

• Illumination 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.

• Illumination turns off automatically whenever an alarm sounds.

• Frequent use of illumination runs down the battery.

Auto light switch precautions

• The auto light switch is turned off automatically whenever battery power is at Level

• Wearing the watch on the inside of your wrist, movement of your arm, or vibration of your arm can cause frequent activation of the auto light switch and illumination of the display. To avoid running down the battery, turn off the auto light switch whenever engaging in activities that might cause frequent illumination.

• Note that wearing the watch under your sleeve while the auto light switch is turned on can cause frequent illumination of the display and can run down the battery.

• Under certain conditions, illumination may not turn on until about one second after you turn the face of the watch towards you. This does not necessarily indicate malfunction of the auto light switch.

• You may notice a very faint clicking sound coming from the watch when it is shaken back and forth. This sound is caused by mechanical operation of the auto light switch, and does not indicate a problem with the watch.

(Auto switching)

(Auto receive)

without changing the minutes.

• Illumination may not turn on if the face of the watch is more than 15 degrees above or below parallel. Make sure that the back of your hand is parallel to the ground.

• Illumination turns off after the preset illumination duration (see “To set the time and date”), even if you keep the watch pointed towards your face.

• Static electricity or magnetic force can interfere with proper operation of the auto light switch. If illumination does not turn on, try moving the watch back to the starting position (parallel with the ground) and then tilt it back towards you again. If this does not work, drop your arm all the way down so it hangs at your side, and then bring it back up again.

The watch does this:

1. Checks the Mainflingen signal first.

2. If the Mainflingen signal cannot be received, checks the Rugby signal.

1. Checks the last successfully received signal first.

2. If the last successfully received signal cannot be received, checks the other signal.
