MA0905-EA
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 configure Home City settings” to configure 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 configure these
settings correctly.
3. Set the current time.
To set the time using a time calibration signal •
See “To get ready for a receive operation”.
To set the time manually •
See “Configuring Current Time and Date Settings Manually”.
The watch is now ready for use.
For details about the watch’s radio controlled timekeeping feature, see “Radio
Controlled Atomic Timekeeping”.
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
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 if its face is
blocked by your sleeve
even only partially.
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 •
Under direct sunlight •
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 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”. •

The watch will not enter a sleep state between 6:00 AM and 9:59 PM. If the watch •
is already in a sleep 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.
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 “Configuring Current
Time and Date Settings Manually” 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:
The watch can receive the signal from the
transmitter located here:
LON, PAR, ATH Anthorn (England), Mainflingen (Germany)
HKG Shangqiu City (China)
TYO Fukushima (Japan), Fukuoka/Saga (Japan)
HNL, ANC, LAX, DEN, CHI, NYC Fort Collins, Colorado (United States)
Important!
The areas covered by • HNL and ANC are quite far from the calibration signal
transmitters, so certain conditions may cause reception problems.
When • HNL or 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 toggle
the Home City time between standard time and daylight saving time” for information
about how to do this.

Even when the watch is within range of a transmitter, signal reception may be •
impossible due to the 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 influence 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.

Manual Receive.
Auto Receive: Leave the watch over night in the location you selected in step 2. •
See “Auto Receive” for details.
Manual Receive: Perform the operation under “To perform manual receive”. •
Auto Receive
With Auto Receive, the watch performs the receive operation each day •
automatically up to six times (up to five 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 •
configuring settings.
To perform manual receive
In the regular timekeeping mode, keep 1. A depressed (for about two seconds) as
the
x Second Hand goes through the following sequence.
Moves to the last signal reception result ( • Y or N), then to READY (or R for some
models).
The 2.
x Second Hand indicates the operations the watch is currently performing.
@
When the x Second
Hand is pointed here:
It means this:
READY (R) Watch is setting up for reception.
WORK (W) Reception is in progress.
YES (Y)
Reception was completed
successfully.
NO (N) Reception failed for some reason.
If signal reception is unstable, the • x Second Hand may
move between WORK (W) and READY (R).
The receive operation is complete when the 3.
x Second
Hand moves to YES (Y) or NO (N) for about five
seconds, and then resumes regular timekeeping.
When the receive operation is successful, the watch •
adjusts the time setting accordingly. It does not adjust
the setting if the operation failed.
Note
To interrupt a receive operation and return to the regular •
timekeeping, press any button.
If the •
x Second Hand is pointing to YES (Y) or NO (N),
you can return to regular timekeeping by pressing A.
To check the result of the latest receive operation
In the regular timekeeping mode, press A.
The •
x Second Hand will move to YES (Y) for five
seconds if the latest receive operation was successful,
or NO (N) if it was not. After that, regular timekeeping
will resume.
Note
The •
x Second Hand will indicate NO (N) if you have
adjusted the time or date setting manually since the
latest receive operation.
If the •
x Second Hand is pointing to YES (Y) or NO (N),
you can return to regular timekeeping by pressing A.
Radio-controlled Atomic Timekeeping Precautions
Strong electrostatic charge can result in the wrong time setting. •

World Time Minute Hand home position adjustment.
The •
n World Time Hour Hand and m World Time Minute Hand are at their
proper home positions if they both move to 24. If the hands are not positioned
correctly, use D (+) and B (–) to move them to 24.
After confirming that the 5.
n World Time Hour Hand and m World Time Minute
Hand are in the correct home position, press C. This will advance to
v Day of the
Week Hand home position adjustment.
The •
v Day of the Week Hand is in the correct home position if it is pointing at
Su. If it isn’t, use D (+) and B (–) to move it to Su.
After confirming that the 6.
v Day of the Week Hand is in
the correct home position, press C. This will advance to
b Day home position adjustment.
The •
b Day is in the correct home position if it
shows 1. If it doesn’t, use D (+) and B (–) to change
the day to 1.
Press 7. A to return to regular timekeeping.
The •
b Day moves to the current day, and then the z
Hour Hand and the
c Minute Hand will move to the
current time. Wait until everything stops moving.
Troubleshooting
Hand Movement and Position
The
x Second Hand is moving at two second intervals.
All the watch’s hands are stopped at 12 o’clock and none of the buttons work.
Power may be low. Expose the watch to light until the
x Second Hand starts moving
normally, at one-second intervals.
The hands of the watch suddenly start moving at high speed, even when I do
not perform any operation.
This could be due to any one of the following causes. In all cases, the hand movement
does not indicate malfunction, and should stop shortly.
The watch is recovering from a sleep state. •
The time setting is being adjusted following a successful auto time calibration •
signal receive operation.
The current time setting is off by hours.
Your Home City setting may be wrong. Check your Home City setting and correct it,
if necessary.
The current time setting is off by one hour.
If you are using the watch in an area where time calibration signal reception is
possible, see “To configure Home City settings”.
If you are using the watch in an area where time calibration signal reception is not
possible, you may need to change your Home City’s STD (standard time)/DST
(daylight saving/summer time) setting manually. Use the procedure under “To toggle
the Home City time between standard time and daylight saving time” to change the
STD (standard time)/DST (daylight saving/summer time) setting.
The hands and/or day indications are off.
This could indicate that the watch has been exposed to magnetism or strong impact,
which has caused problems with proper hand and day alignment. Adjust the watch’s
hand and day home position alignment.
World Time
The World Time indicated by the
n World Time Hour Hand and m World Time
Minute Hand is one hour off from the actual time in the selected time zone.
The STD (standard time)/DST (daylight saving/summer time) setting of the selected
World Time City may be wrong. Select the correct STD (standard time)/DST (daylight
saving/summer time) setting.
The World Time indicated by the
n World Time Hour Hand and m World Time
Minute Hand is off.
Your Home City settings may be wrong. Check your Home City settings and correct
them, if necessary.
Charging
The watch does not resume operation after I expose it to light.
This can happen after the power level drops to Level 3. Continue exposing the watch
to light until the
x Second Hand starts moving normally (at one-second intervals).
The
x Second Hand starts to move at one-second intervals, but then suddenly
returns to moving at two-second intervals.
The watch probably is not sufficiently charged yet. Continue keeping it exposed to
light.

Time Calibration Signal
The information in this section applies only when LON, PAR, ATH, HNL, ANC, LAX,
DEN, CHI, NYC, HKG, or TYO is selected at the Home City. You need to adjust the
current time manually when any other city is selected as the Home City.
The
x Second Hand indicates NO (N) when I check the result of the latest
receive operation.
Possible Cause Remedy
You are wearing or moving the watch, or •
performing a button operation during the
signal receive operation.
The watch is in an area with poor reception •
conditions.
Keep the watch in an area where reception
conditions are good while the signal receive
operation is performed.
You are in an area where signal reception is
not possible for some reason.
See “Approximate Reception Ranges”.
The calibration signal is not being transmitted
for some reason.
Check the website of the organization •
that maintains the time calibration signal
in your area for information about its
down times.
Try again later. •
The current time setting changes after I set it manually.
You may have the watch configured for Auto Receive of the time calibration signal,
which will cause the time to be adjusted automatically according to your currently
selected Home City. If this results in the wrong time setting, check your Home City
setting and correct it, if necessary.
The current time setting is off by one hour.
Possible Cause Remedy
Signal reception on a day for switching
between STD (standard time)/DST (daylight
saving/summer time) may have failed for
some reason.
Perform the operation under “To get ready
for a receive operation”. The time setting
will be adjusted automatically as soon as
signal reception is successful.
If you are unable to receive the time
calibration signal, change the STD
(standard time)/DST (daylight saving/
summer time) setting manually.
Auto Receive is not performed or I cannot perform Manual Receive.
Possible Cause Remedy
Your Home City setting is wrong.
Check your Home City setting and correct
it, if necessary.
There is not enough power for signal
reception.
Expose the watch to light to charge it.
Signal reception is being performed successfully, but the time and/or day is
wrong.
Possible Cause Remedy
Your Home City setting is wrong.
Check your Home City setting and correct
it, if necessary.
The watch may have been exposed to
magnetism or strong impact, which has
caused problems with proper hand and day
alignment.
Adjust the watch’s hand and day home
position alignment.
