Configuring Current Time and Date Settings Automatically

Date and time settings are kept accurate using information provided by a time calibration signal.

• Time calibration signals can be received using Auto Receive or Manual Receive.

Normally, you should set up the watch for Auto Receive of the current time and date.

• If you are in an area where a time calibration signal cannot be received, you need

to adjust time and date settings manually.

• For information about the manual receive operation and time calibration signal

reception ranges, refer to the Operation Guide available at the CASIO website.

Important!

• For the watch to be able to receive a time calibration signal, its Home City setting
