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.
••
• This watch does not have a city code that corresponds to the Greenwich
••
Mean Time differential of –3.5 hours. Because of this, the radio-controlled
atomic timekeeping function will not display the correct time for
Newfoundland, Canada.

• 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.

• Whenever you enter the Timekeeping, Countdown Timer, World Time, or Alarm
Mode, the hands of the watch move to the applicable time for that mode. Even if the
hands are moving, you can press C to move to another mode (except for the
Stopwatch Mode), if you want. Note, however, that all other buttons are disabled
while the hands are moving.
Radio-controlled Atomic Timekeeping
This watch receives a time calibration signal and updates its time setting accordingly.
• Supported time calibration signals: Germany (Mainflingen), England (Anthorn),
United States (Fort Collins), Japan (Fukushima or Fukuoka/Saga).
• See the information under “Signal Reception Troubleshooting” if you experience
problems with time calibration signal reception.
Current Time Setting
This watch adjusts its time setting automatically in accordance with a time calibration
signal. You also can perform a manual procedure to set the time and date, when
necessary.
• The first thing you should do after purchasing this watch is to specify your
Home City, which is the city where you normally will use the watch. For more
information, see “To specify your Home City”.
• When using the watch outside the areas covered by the time signal transmitters, you
will have to adjust the current time setting manually as required. See “Timekeeping”
for more information about manual time settings.
• The U.S. time calibration signal can be picked up by the watch while in North
America. The term “North America” in this manual refers to the area that consists of
Canada, the continental United States, and Mexico.

• Note that this watch does not have a city code that corresponds to Newfoundland.
3. After the Home City setting is the way you want, press A to return to the
Timekeeping Mode.
• Normally, your watch should show the correct time as soon as you specify your
Home City code. If it does not, it should adjust automatically after the next auto
receive operation. You also can perform manual receive or you can set the time
manually.
• Even if the time calibration signal is received correctly, there are some times when
the analog hands may not indicate the correct time. If this happens, use the
procedures under “Adjusting the Home Positions” to check the home positions of the
hands, and make adjustments as required.
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), Anthorn
(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.
• Though the time calibration signal transmitted by the Fukushima and Fukuoka/Saga,
Japan transmitters include summer time data, summer time currently is not
implemented in Japan (as of 2007).
• The default DST setting is Auto DST (AT/AUTO) whenever you select LON, PA R,
ATH , ANC, LAX, DEN, CHI, NYC, or TYO as your Home City code.
• 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. For more information, see “To set the time and date
manually”.

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.
This watch is designed to receive a time calibration signal late at night. Because of
this, you should place the watch near a window as shown in the illustration when you
take it off at night. Make sure there are no metal objects nearby.

or
• Make sure the watch is facing the right way.
• 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 two to seven minutes, but in some
cases it can take as long as 14 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.

as of April 2007
• In April 2007, the U.K. signal transmitter was moved from Rugby to Anthorn, which
resulted in a slight shift in the approximate reception range of the signal. The shift is
so slight that there is virtually no change in the ability to receive the signal.
• Even when the watch is within the reception range of a transmitter, signal reception
may be impossible at times due to the effects of geographic contours, structures,
weather, the season of the year, the time of day, radio interference, etc. Note that the
signal becomes weaker at distances of approximately 500 kilometers from the
transmitter, which means that the influence of the conditions listed above becomes
even greater.

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
• 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 receipt 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 two to 14 minutes every day when the
time in the Timekeeping Mode reaches each of the calibration times. Do not perform
any button operation within 14 minutes before or after 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.
