Congratulations upon your selection of this CASIO watch.

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

Note that CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD. assumes no responsibility for any damage or loss suffered by you or any third party arising through the use of this product or its malfunction.

2. Check the Home City and the daylight saving time (DST) setting.

Use the procedure under “To conﬁ gure Home City settings” (page E-21) to conﬁ gure your Home City and daylight saving time settings.

Important!

Proper time calibration signal reception and World Time settings depend on correct Home City, Home Time, and Home Date settings. Make sure you conﬁ gure these settings correctly.

Charging the Watch

The face of the watch is a solar cell that generates power from light. The generated power charges a built-in rechargeable battery, which powers watch operations. The watch charges whenever it is exposed to light.

Charging Guide

Warning! Leaving the watch in bright light for charging 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 x Under direct sunlight x

Whenever you are not wearing the watch, leave it in a location where it is exposed to light.

Best charging

performance is achieved by exposing the watch to light that is as strong as possible.

When wearing the watch, make sure that its face is not blocked from light by the sleeve of your clothing.

The watch may enter a sleep

state (page E-10) if its face is blocked by your sleeve even only partially.

Important!

Keep the watch in an area normally exposed to bright light when storing it for long periods. This helps to ensure that power does not run down.

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 power to run down. Make sure that the watch is exposed to bright light whenever possible.

Power Levels

You can get an idea of the watch’s power level by observing the movement of the

Second Hand.

Power Saving

Power Saving enters a sleep state automatically whenever the watch is left for a certain period in an area where it is dark. The table below shows how watch functions are affected by Power Saving.

There actually are two sleep state levels: “second hand sleep” and “function sleep”.

Elapsed Time in Dark Operation

60 to 70 minutes (second hand sleep)

6 or 7 days (function sleep)

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

To recover from the sleep state

Move the watch to a well-lit area or press any button.

E-10

Second Hand is moving at two-second intervals, power is at Level

2, which is quite low. Expose the watch to light as soon as possible so it can charge.

When power drops to Level 3, all functions will be disabled but the watch will continue to keep time x internally for about one week. If you recharge the battery sufﬁ ciently during this period, the analog hands will move automatically to the correct setting and regular timekeeping will resume. After one week, all settings (including timekeeping) will be cleared. Recharging the battery will reset all settings to their initial factory defaults.

Radio Controlled Atomic Timekeeping

This watch receives a time calibration signal and updates its time setting accordingly. However, when using the watch outside of areas covered by time calibration signals, you will have to adjust the settings manually as required. See “Conﬁ guring Current Time and Date Settings Manually” (page E-24) for more information.

This section explains how the watch updates its time settings when the city code selected as the Home City is in Japan, North America, Europe, or China, and is one that supports time calibration signal reception.

If your Home City Code setting is this:

LONDON (LON), PARIS (PAR), ATHENS (ATH) Anthorn (England), Mainﬂ ingen (Germany)

HONG KONG (HKG) Shangqiu City (China)

TOKYO (TYO) Fukushima (Japan), Fukuoka/Saga (Japan)

HONOLULU (HNL), ANCHORAGE (ANC), LOS ANGELES (LAX), DENVER (DEN), CHICAGO (CHI), NEW YORK (NYC)

Important!

x HONOLULU (HNL) and ANCHORAGE (ANC) are quite far from the calibration

The areas covered by signal transmitters, so certain conditions may cause reception problems. When

x HONOLULU (HNL) or HONG KONG (HKG) is selected as the Home City, only the time and date

are adjusted according to the time calibration signal. You need to switch manually between standard time and daylight saving time (DST) if required. See “To conﬁ gure Home City settings” (page E-21) for information about how to do this.

The watch can receive the signal from the transmitter located here:

To get ready for a receive operation

Check to make sure the watch is in the regular timekeeping mode. If it isn’t, hold down 1. C at least two seconds to enter the regular timekeeping mode.

The antenna of this watch is located on its 12 o’clock side. Position the watch with 12 o’clock facing 2. towards a window as shown in the nearby illustration. Make sure there are no metal objects nearby.

Signal reception normally is better at night. x The receive operation takes from two to seven minutes, but in some cases it can take as long as x 14 minutes. Take care that you do not perform any button operation or move the watch during this time.

Even when the watch is within range of a transmitter, signal reception may be impossible due to the x effects of geographic contours, structures, weather, the time of year, the time of day, radio interference, etc. The signal becomes weaker at distances of approximately 500 kilometers, which means that the inﬂ uence of the above conditions becomes even greater. Signal reception may not be possible at the distances noted below during certain times of the year or

day. Radio interference may also cause problems with reception.

As of January 2010, China does not use Daylight Saving Time (DST). If China does go to the Daylight x Saving Time system in the future, some functions of this watch may no longer operate correctly. Using this watch in a country covered by a time calibration signal that is different from the countries it x supports may result in incorrect time indication due to local application of summer time, etc.

Signal reception may be difﬁ cult or even impossible under the conditions described below. x

Inside or among buildings

What you should do next depends on whether you are using Auto Receive or Manual Receive.3.

Auto Receive: Leave the watch over night in the location you selected in step 2. See “Auto Receive” x on page E-15 for details. Manual Receive: Perform the operation under “To perform manual receive” on page E-16. x

Auto Receive

With Auto Receive, the watch performs the receive operation each day automatically up to six times (up to ﬁ ve times for the Chinese calibration signal) between the hours of midnight and 5 a.m. (according to the Home City time). When any receive operation is successful, none of the other receive operations for that day are performed. The receive operation is not performed if a calibration time is reached while you are conﬁ guring

settings.

appliances, ofﬁ ce equipment, or a mobile phone
