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.)

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.

Bright Light

Electrical energy

• Frequent display illumination can run down the battery quickly and require charging. The following guidelines give an idea of the charging time required to recover from a single illumination operation.

Approximately five minutes exposure to bright sunlight coming in through a

window

Approximately 50 minutes exposure to indoor fluorescent lighting

• Be sure to read “Power Supply” for important information you need to know when exposing the watch to bright light.

If the display of the watch is blank...

If the display of the watch is blank, it means that the watch’s Power Saving function has turned off the display to conserve power.

• See “Power Saving Function” for more information.

Bumps on the Solar Cell Surface

The surface of the solar cell has bumps in some locations. These bumps are electrical contacts and do not indicate any problem with the solar cell.

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.

• The watch will receive the time calibration signal automatically from the applicable transmitter (in the middle of the night) and update its settings accordingly. For information about the relationship between city codes and transmitters, see “Home City Codes and Transmitters”.

• Under factory default settings, auto receive is turned off for all of the following city codes: MOW (Moscow), HKG (Hong Kong), BJS (Beijing), HNL (Honolulu), and ANC (Anchorage). For details about turning on auto receive for these city codes, see “To turn auto receive on and off”.

• You can disable time signal reception, if you want. See “To turn auto receive on and off” for more information.

• See the maps under “Reception Ranges” for information about the reception ranges of the watch.

• If you are in an area that does not use Daylight Saving Time (summertime), 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 3019 3039

• Proper signal reception can be difficult or even impossible under the conditions listed below.

Inside or among buildings

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

• Time calibration signal reception takes from one to seven minutes, but in some

cases it can take as long as 13 minutes. Take care that you do not perform any button operations or move the watch during this time.

• The time calibration signal the watch will attempt to pick up depends on its current Home City code setting as shown below. If you use the watch in Japan or Europe (each of which has two different transmitter locations), it will try to receive the time calibration signal from one of the transmitters in your current location. If it cannot receive the signal, it will then try to receive the time calibration signal from the other transmitter.

Note

• When a calibration time is reached, the watch will receive the calibration signal only if it is in either the Timekeeping Mode or World Time Mode. Reception is not performed if a calibration time is reached while you are configuring settings.

• 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.

• The watch receives the calibration signal for one to seven minutes everyday when the time in the Timekeeping Mode reaches each of the calibration times. Avoid performing any button operation within seven 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 current time 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 displayed time actually is the correct 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.

Receiving indicator

• Use the receiving indicator as a guide for checking signal strength and for finding the best location for the watch during signal receive operations.

• 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.

Transmitter Indicator

Transmitter indicator

• The transmitter indicator turns off automatically at the start of the first auto receive operation of a new day. The time of the first auto receive operation of a new day depends on your currently selected Home City.

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 covered even partially.

Solar cell

Page 4

Operation Guide 3019 3039

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 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 4 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.

Recover indicator

• The LOW indicator flashes on the Timekeeping Mode Time/Date screen whenever the battery is at Level 2. You cannot change from the Time/Date screen to the dual time screen while the battery is at Level 2.

• The LOW indicator at Level 2 and the flashing charge indicator (CHG) at Level 3 tell you that battery power is very low, and that exposure to bright light for charging is required as soon as possible.

• At Level 4, 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 3 (indicated by the flashing charge indicator) from Level 4. You will not be able to configure any of the other settings until the battery reaches Level 1 after dropping to Level 4.

• The watch’s Home City code setting will change automatically to TYO (Tokyo) whenever the battery drops to Level 4. With this Home City code setting, the watch is configured to receive the time calibration signals of Japan. If you are using the watch in North America or Europe, you will need to change the Home City code setting to match your location whenever the battery drops to Level 4.

• 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 Time calibration signal reception

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

Charging Guide

After a full charge, timekeeping remains enabled for up to about 9 months.

• The following table shows the amount of time the watch needs to be exposed to light each day in order to generate enough power for normal daily operations.

Daylight Saving Time (DST)

Daylight Saving Time (summer time) advances the time setting by one hour from Standard Time. Remember that not all countries or even local areas use Daylight Saving Time. The time calibration signals transmitted from Mainflingen (Germany), Rugby (England), or Fort Collins (the United States) include both Standard Time and DST data. When the Auto DST setting is turned on, the watch switches between Standard Time and DST (summer time) automatically in accordance with the signals.

• The time calibration signals transmitted from Fukushima and Fukuoka/Saga (Japan) do not include summer time data.

• The default DST setting is Auto DST (

• If you experience problems receiving the time calibration signal in your area, it probably is best to switch between Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time (summer time) manually.

To change the Daylight Saving Time (summer time) setting

1. On the Timekeeping Mode Dual Time screen, make sure the time whose DST

setting you want to change is in the Home Time position on the display.

• You must make separate DST settings for the Home Time and the Zone 2 Time.

Reference

This section contains more detailed and technical information about watch operation. It also contains important precautions and notes about the various features and functions of this watch.

Button Operation Tone

MUTE indicator

• Since the C button is also the mode change button, holding it down to turn the button operation tone on or off also causes the watch’s current mode to change.

• The MUTE indicator is displayed in all modes when the button operation tone is turned off.

Power Saving Function

• Wearing the watch inside the sleeve of clothing can cause it to enter the sleep state.

• The watch will not enter the sleep state between 6:00 AM and 10:59 PM. If the

watch is already in the sleep state when 6:00 AM arrives, however, it will remain in the sleep state.

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.

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 Atomic 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 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 Receive Mode is the date data included in the received time calibration signal. When only time data is received, however, the Receive Mode 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 ±20 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.

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,

Illumination

The watch has an EL (electro-luminescent) panel that causes the entire display to glow for easy reading in the dark. In any mode (except when a setting screen is on the display), press B to illuminate the display for about one second.

Illumination Precautions

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

• 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
