• The actual level at which some functions are disabled depends on the watch model.

• Frequent display illumination can run down the battery quickly and require charging.

• Be sure to read “Power Supply” (page E-41) 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” (page E-59) for more information.

The electricity generated by the solar cell of the watch is stored by a rechargeable 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.

Illumination

This watch has an EL (electro-luminescent) panel that causes the entire display to glow for easy reading in the dark. The watch’s auto light switch turns on illumination automatically when you angle the watch towards your face.

• The auto light switch must be turned on (indicated by the auto light switch on indicator) for it to operate.

Auto light switch on indicator

About the Auto Light Switch

Turning on the auto light switch causes illumination to turn on, whenever you position your wrist as described below in any mode. Note that this watch features a “Full Auto EL Light”, so the auto light switch operates only when available light is below a certain level. It does not turn on the backlight under bright light.

Moving the watch to a position that is parallel to the ground and then tilting it towards you more than 40 degrees causes illumination to turn on.

• Wear the watch on the outside of your wrist.

• See “Illumination Precautions” (page E-63) for other

important information about using illumination.

To illuminate the display manually

In any mode (except when a setting screen is on the display), press B to turn on illumination.

• The above operation turns on illumination regardless of the current auto light switch setting.

Warning!

••

• Always make sure you are in a safe place whenever you are reading the

••

display of 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 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.

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 batter y power to run down. Be sure that the watch is exposed to br ight light whenever possible.

• This watch uses a 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 rechargeable battery to charge fully, contact your dealer or CASIO distributor about having it replaced.

• Never try to remove or replace the watch’s rechargeable batter y 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 (pages E-43 and E-44) and when you have the battery replaced.

• Turn on the watch’s Power Saving function (page E-59) 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.

E-42

• The flashing LOW indicator at Level 3 tells 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 reaches Level 2 after falling to Level 5, reconfigure the current time, date, and other settings.

• The watch’s Home City code setting will change automatically to TYO (Tokyo) whenever the battery drops to Level 5.

•

Display indicators reappear as soon as the battery is charged from Level 5 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.

Power Supply

This watch is equipped with a solar cell and a rechargeable 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 tr y to keep the watch outside of your sleeve as much as possible. Charging is reduced significantly if the face is covered only partially.

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

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.

Tide Site Name

Selecting the Tide Site Name

The tide site names you can select depend on your current Home City setting.

• Select tide site names in the Timekeeping Mode.

• After configuring the settings for your Home City, press A once to display the tide

site name selection screen.

• Note that the tide sites you can select are those located in the same time zone as your Home City. They are not necessarily located near your Home City.

To configure tide site settings

1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down A for about two

seconds until the city code starts to flash. This is the setting screen.

• The watch will exit the setting screen automatically if you do not perform any operation for about two or three minutes.

Moon Phase

The Moon phase indicator of this watch indicates the current phase of the Moon as shown below. It is based on the view of the left side of the moon at meridian transit from the northern hemisphere of the Earth. If the appearance of the Moon phase indicator is reversed from the actual Moon as viewed from your location, you can use the procedure under “To reverse the displayed Moon phase” (page E-22) to change the indicator.

Tidal Movements

Tides are the periodic rise and fall of the water of oceans, seas, bays, and other bodies of water caused mainly by the gravitational interactions between the Earth, Moon and Sun. Tides rise and fall about every six hours. The Tide Graph of this watch indicates tidal movement based on the Moon’s transit over a meridian and the lunitidal interval. The Tide Graph calculates and graphically represents current tide conditions in your currently selected site or USER site based on longitudes, lunar day length, and lunitidal interval preset in watch memory, and on high tide times specified by you.

High tideLow tide

Lunitidal Interval

Theoretically, high tide is at the moon’s transit over the meridian and low tide is about six hours later. Actual high tide occurs somewhat later, due to factors such as viscosity, friction, and underwater topography. Both the time differential between the moon’s transit over the meridian until high tide and the time differential between the moon’s transit over the meridian until low tide are known as the “lunitidal inter val”. Tides data is calculated using the lunitidal intervals preset for each site.

E-59

Page 7

Operation Guide 3216 3223

• The watch will not enter the sleep state between 6:00 AM and 9:59 PM. If the watch is already in the sleep state when 6:00 AM arrives, however, it will remain in the sleep state.

To recover from the sleep state

Perform any one of the following operations.

• Move the watch to a well-lit area.

• Press any button.

• Angle the watch towards your face for reading (page E-39).

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 without changing the minutes.

• 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 batter y replaced.

• The current time for all city codes in the Timekeeping Mode and World Time Mode is calculated in accordance with the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) for each city, based on your Home City time setting.

World Time

• The seconds count of the World Time is synchronized with the seconds count of the Timekeeping Mode.

E-62

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 toward 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.

• 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.

E-64

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

4. Press A to exit the setting screen.

• The Power Saving indicator is on the display in all modes while Power Saving is turned on.

• 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 a preset amount of time (1.5 or 3 seconds), even if you keep the watch pointed towards your face.

) and off

Auto Return

• If you do not perform any operation for about two or three minutes while a setting screen (with a flashing setting) is on the display, the watch will exit the setting screen automatically.

Scrolling

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

Initial Screens

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

Illumination Precautions

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

• Illumination may be difficult 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

• Avoid wearing the watch on the inside of your wrist. Doing so causes the auto light switch to operate when it is not needed, which shortens battery life. If you want to wear the watch on the inside of your wrist, turn off the auto light switch feature.
