Barometer/Thermometer

This watch uses a pressure sensor to measure air pressure (barometric pressure) and a temperature sensor to measure temperature.
You can calibrate the temperature sensor and the pressure sensor if you suspect that readings are incorrect.
To take barometric pressure and temperature readings
Barometric pressure graph
Barometric pressure differential pointer
The displayed barometric pressure value changes to a measured barometric pressure falls outside the range of 260 hPa to 1,100 hPa (7.65 inHg to 32.45 inHg). The barometric pressure value will reappear as soon as the measured barometric pressure is within the allowable range.
Temperature is displayed in units of 0.1°C (or 0.2°F).
The displayed temperature value changes to xx.x °C (or °F) if a measured temperature falls outside the range of –10.0°C to 60.0°C (14.0°F to
140.0°F). The temperature value will reappear as soon as the measured temperature is within the allowable range.
In some areas, barometric pressure is expressed in millibars (mb) instead of hectopascals (hPa). It really makes no difference, because 1hPa = 1mb.
You can select either hectopascals (hPa) or inchesHg (inHg) as the display unit for the measured barometric pressure, and Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F) as the display unit for the measured temperature value. See “To select the temperature, barometric pressure, and altitude units”.
See “Barometer and Thermometer Precautions” for impor tant precautions.
Barometric Pressure Graph
Barometric pressure indicates changes in the atmosphere. By monitoring these changes you can predict the weather with reasonable accuracy. This watch takes barometric pressure measurements automatically every two hours (at the top of each even-numbered hour), regardless of its current mode. Measurement results are used to produce barometric pressure graph and barometric pressure differential pointer readings. The barometric pressure graph shows readings of previous measurements for up to 30 hours. The horizontal axis of the graph represents time, with each dot standing for two hours. The rightmost dot represents the most recent reading. The vertical axis of the graph represents barometric pressure, with each dot standing for the relative difference between its reading and that of the dots next to it. Each dot represents 1hPa. The following shows how to interpret the data that appears on the barometric pressure graph.
Barometric pressure
Temperature
Pressing B in the Timekeeping Mode or Altimeter Mode enters the Barometer/ Thermometer Mode and starts barometric pressure and temperature measurements automatically.
It can take up to four or five seconds for the barometric pressure reading to appear after you enter the Barometer/Thermometer Mode.

A rising graph generally means improving weather.
Note that if there are sudden changes in weather or temperature, the graph line of past measurements may run off the top or bottom of the display. The entire graph will become visible once barometric conditions stabilize. The following conditions cause the barometric pressure measurement to be skipped, with the corresponding point on the barometric pressure graph being left blank.

Barometric Pressure Differential Pointer
This pointer indicates the relative difference between the most recent barometric pressure reading indicated on the barometric pressure graph, and the current barometric pressure value displayed in the Barometer/ Thermometer Mode.
Pressure differential is indicated in the range of ±5 hPa, in 1-hPa units.
The barometric pressure differential pointer is not displayed when the
displayed current barometric value is outside of the allowable measurement range (260 to 1,100 hPa).
Barometric pressure is calculated and displayed using hPa as the standard. The barometric pressure differential also can be read in inHg units as shown in the illustration.

Altimeter

The watch’s altimeter uses a pressure sensor to detect current air pressure, which is then used to estimate the current altitude based on ISA (International Standard Atmosphere) preset values. You also can specify a reference altitude, which the watch will use to calculate your current altitude based on the value you specify. You can configure an altimeter alarm that sounds whenever the measured altitude reaches a value you preset. Altimeter functions also include storage of measurement data in memory.
Important!
This watch estimates altitude based on air pressure. This means that altitude readings for the same location may vary if air pressure changes.
The semiconductor pressure sensor used by the watch for altitude measurements also is affected by temperature. When taking altitude measurements, make sure the watch is not subjected to temperature changes.
To avoid the effect of sudden temperature changes during measurement, keep the watch on your wrist in direct contact with your skin.
Do not rely upon this watch for altitude measurements or perform button operations while sky diving, hang gliding, or paragliding, while riding a gyrocopter, glider, or any other aircraft, or while engaging in any other activity where there is the chance of sudden altitude changes.
Do not use this watch for measuring altitude in applications that demand professional or industrial level precision.
Remember that the air inside of a commercial aircraft is pressurized. Because of this, the readings produced by this watch will not match the altitude readings announced or indicated the flight crew.
A falling graph generally means deteriorating weather.

Operation Guide 3022
How the Altimeter Measures Altitude
The altimeter can measure altitude based on its own preset values, or a reference altitude specified by you.
When you measure altitude based on preset values
Data produced by the watchs barometric pressure sensor is conver ted to approximate altitude based on ISA (International Standard Atmosphere) conversion values stored in watch memory.
When you measure altitude using a reference altitude specified by you
After you specify a reference altitude, the watch uses that value to convert the current measured barometric pressure value to altitude.
To determine the height of a tall building, for example, specify zero for the reference altitude value while you are on the ground floor. Then when you go to a higher floor, the altitude displayed by the watch will indicate the height from the ground floor. Note that you may not be able to get a good reading if the building is pressurized or air-conditioned.
When mountain climbing, you can set the reference value in accordance with a marker along the way or altitude information from a map. After that, the altitude readings produced by the watch will be more accurate than they would without a reference altitude.
Displaying Your Current Altitude
You can use the procedure described in this section to display your current altitude. If you leave the watch in the Altimeter Mode, it will update the displayed altitude value regularly and indicate reading-to-reading changes in the altitude graph. You can select either of the two altitude measurement types described below. SHORT: Readings at five-second intervals for one hour LONG: Readings at five-second intervals for the first three minutes followed
by two-minute intervals for approximately nine or 10 hours
For information about configuring settings for the altitude reading interval and duration, see To select the altitude measurement type”.
Important!
The procedure in this section simply displays values indicating your current altitude, without storing them in watch memory. For information about recording altitude readings in watch memory, see “Altitude Records”.

Notes
Normally, displayed altitude values are based on the watchs preset conversion values. You also can specify a reference altitude, if you want. See Specifying a Reference Altitude”.
Altitude is displayed in units of 5 meters (20 feet).
The measurement range for altitude is 700 to 10,000 meters (2,300 to
32,800 feet).
The measured altitude may be a negative value in cases where there is a reference altitude value set or because of certain atmospheric conditions.
The displayed altitude value changes to measured altitude falls outside the measurement range. The altitude value will be displayed again as soon as the measured altitude is within the allowable range.
You can change the measurement unit for displayed altitude values to either meters (m) or feet (ft). See “To select the temperature, barometric pressure, and altitude units”.

Altitude Records
Storing altitude data in memory creates an altitude record. If a reading is greater than all of the other altitude readings currently stored in memory, it is stored in the maximum altitude record. The following describes the contents of each type of record.
Recording date (year, month, day), time (hour, minutes) and altitude: Up to 40 records Maximum altitude (including recording date and time): 1 record
The maximum altitude record shows information about the altitude record that has the greatest altitude value. The maximum altitude record is updated any time a reading produces an altitude that is greater than that of the current maximum altitude record.

Questions & Answers

Question: How does the barometer work?
Answer: Barometric pressure indicates changes in the atmosphere, and by
monitoring these changes you can predict the weather with reasonable accuracy. Rising atmospheric pressure indicates good weather, while falling pressure indicates deteriorating weather conditions. The barometric pressures that you see in the newspaper and on the TV weather report are measurements corrected to values measured at 0 m sea level.

Operation Guide 3022
Question: How does the altimeter work?
Answer: Generally, air pressure and temperature decrease as altitude
increases. This watch bases its altitude measurements on International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) values stipulated by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). These values define relationships between altitude, air pressure, and temperature.

Precautions Concerning Simultaneous Measurement of Altitude and Temperature
Though you can perform altitude and temperature measurements at the same time, you should remember that each of these measurements requires different conditions for best results. With temperature measurement, it is best to remove the watch from your wrist in order to eliminate the effects of body heat. In the case of altitude measurement, on the other hand, it is better to leave the watch on your wrist, because doing so keeps the watch at a constant temperature, which contributes to more accurate altitude measurements. The following describes what you should do to give priority to either altitude or temperature.
To give altitude measurement priority, leave the watch on your wrist or in any other location where the temperature of the watch is kept constant.
To give temperature measurement priority, remove the watch from your wrist and allow it to hang freely from your bag or in another location where it is not exposed to direct sunlight. Note that removing the watch from your wrist can affect pressure sensor readings momentarily.

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

of your sleeve as much as possible. Charging is reduced significantly if the face is covered only partially.
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 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.
All data stored in memory is deleted, and 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.

The flashing indicator at Level 3 and the flashing CHG indicator 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. Once the battery is charged to Level 2 after falling to Level 5, reconfigure the current time, date, and other settings.
Display indicators reappear as soon as the battery is charged from Level 4 to Level 2.
Leaving the watch exposed to direct sunlight or some other very strong light source can cause the battery power indicator to show a reading temporarily that is higher than the actual battery level. The correct battery level should be indicated after a few minutes.
Recover indicator
Even if battery power is at Level 1 or Level 2, the Barometer/Thermometer Mode or Altimeter Mode sensor may be disabled if there is not enough voltage available to power it sufficiently. This is indicated by RECOV on the display.
If RECOV appears frequently, it probably means that remaining battery power is low. Leave the watch in bright light to allow it to charge.
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
Performing multiple sensor, illumination, or
beeper operations during a short period may cause RECOV to appear on the display. Illumination, alarm, countdown timer alarm, Hourly Time Signal, and sensor operations will be disabled until battery power recovers. After some time, battery power will recover and RECOV will disappear, indicating that the above functions are enabled again.
Except for timekeeping and the CHG indicator, all functions and display indicators are disabled.
All functions disabled.

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
With the 12-hour format, the P (PM) indicator 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.
The 12-hour/24-hour timekeeping format you select in the Timekeeping Mode is applied in all modes.
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 when battery power drops to Level 5.
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.
Illumination turns off automatically whenever an alarm sounds.
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.
Frequent use of illumination runs down the battery.
Auto light switch precautions
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 of the display.
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.
More than 15 degrees too high
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 your face 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.
Under certain conditions, illumination does not turn on until about one second after you turn the face of the watch towards you. This does not necessarily indicate malfunction.
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.
Barometer and Thermometer Precautions
The pressure sensor built into this watch measures changes in air pressure, which you can then apply to your own weather predictions. However, it is not intended for use as a precision instrument in official weather prediction or reporting applications.
Sudden temperature changes can affect pressure sensor readings.
Temperature measurements are affected by your body temperature (while
you are wearing the watch), direct sunlight, and moisture. To achieve a more accurate temperature measurement, remove the watch from your wrist, place it in a well ventilated location out of direct sunlight, and wipe all moisture from the case. It takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes for the case of the watch to reach the actual surrounding temperature.
Pressure Sensor and Temperature Sensor Calibration
The pressure sensor and temperature sensor built into the watch are calibrated at the factory and normally require no further adjustment. If you notice serious errors in the temperature readings produced by the watch, you can calibrate the sensor to correct the errors.
Important!
Calibrating the barometric pressure sensor incorrectly can result in incorrect readings. Before performing the calibration procedure, compare the readings produced by the watch with those of another reliable and accurate barometer.
Calibrating the temperature sensor incorrectly can result in incorrect readings. Carefully read the following before doing anything.
Compare the readings produced by the watch with those of another reliable and accurate thermometer. If adjustment is required, remove the watch from your wrist and wait for 20 or 30 minutes to give the temperature of the watch time to stabilize.
00
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 in about one second, even if you keep the watch pointed towards your face.
