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, time, and date settings in the Timekeeping Mode. Make sure you
configure 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•
Under direct sunlight•
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.
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.

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

When power drops to Level 3, all functions will be disabled but the watch will •
continue to keep time internally for about one week. If you recharge the battery
sufficiently 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.
Power Recovery Mode
The watch is designed to go into a power recovery mode that stops hand operation
temporarily whenever power suddenly drops below a certain level due to overuse
of the alarm tone over a short period. Note that all operations are disabled while the
watch is in the power recovery mode.
The hands will move to the correct positions and the watch will resume normal
operation after power recovers (in about 15 minutes). Putting the watch in a location
where it is exposed to light will help power to recover sooner.

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”.•

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.

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.

As of January 2009, China does not use Daylight Saving Time (DST). If China does •
go to the Daylight Saving Time system in the future, some functions of this watch
may no longer operate correctly.
To get ready for a receive operation
Confirm that the watch is in the Timekeeping Mode. If it isn’t, hold down 1. C for
about two seconds to enter the Timekeeping Mode.
The antenna of this watch is located on its 12 o’clock side. Position the watch with 2.
12 o’clock facing towards a window as shown in the nearby illustration. Make sure
there are no metal objects nearby.
Signal reception may be difficult or even impossible under the conditions •
described below.

What you should do next depends on whether you are using Auto Receive or 3.
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 Timekeeping Mode
time). When any receive operation is successful, none of the other receive
operations for that day are performed.
When a calibration time is reached, the watch will perform the receive operation •
only if it is in the Timekeeping Mode or World Time Mode. The receive operation is
not performed if a calibration time is reached while you are configuring settings.

Adjusting Home Positions
Strong magnetism or impact can cause the hands and/or date of the watch to be
off, even if the watch is able to perform the signal receive operation. If this happens,
perform the applicable home position adjustment procedures in this section.

correct.
Note
Any time after you enter the home position adjustment mode in step 1 of the following
procedure, you can return to the Timekeeping Mode by pressing A. The watch also
will return to the Timekeeping Mode automatically if you do not perform any operation
for about two or three minutes in the home position adjustment mode. In either case,
any adjustments you made before the watch returned to the Timekeeping Mode will
be applied.

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 watch is returning to the Timekeeping Mode automatically from the Alarm •
Mode.
Hands suddenly stop moving. Button operation also is disabled.
The watch may be in the power recovery mode. Do not perform any operation until the
hands return to their normal positions (in about 15 minutes). The hands should return
to their correct positions when power recovers. To help power recover, leave the
watch in a location where it is exposed to light.
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/DST 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

Operation Guide 5089
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 CauseRemedy
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 CauseRemedy
The watch is in the Stopwatch Mode.
Your Home City setting is wrong.
There is not enough power for signal
reception.
Signal reception is being performed successfully, but the time and/or day is
wrong.
Possible CauseRemedy
Your Home City setting is wrong.
The watch may have been exposed to
magnetism or strong impact, which has
caused problems with proper hand and
day alignment.
Auto Receive is not performed while the watch
is in the Stopwatch Mode. Hold down C for
about two seconds to enter the Timekeeping
Mode.
Check your Home City setting and correct it,
if necessary.
Expose the watch to light to charge it.
Check your Home City setting and correct it,
if necessary.
Adjust the watch’s hand and day home
positions.
