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 UTC offset of –3.5
hours. Because of this, the radio-controlled atomic timekeeping function will not
display the correct time for Newfoundland, Canada.

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.

Radio-controlled Atomic Timekeeping
This watch receives a time calibration signal and updates its time setting accordingly.
• This watch is designed to pick up the time calibration signals transmitted in Germany
(Mainflingen), England (Anthorn), the United States (Fort Collins), China (Shangqiu),
and Japan (Fukushima, Fukuoka/Saga).
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 (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.
• As of March 2010, 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.
• Using this watch in a country covered by a time calibration that is different from the
countries it supports may result in incorrect time indication due to local application of
summer time, etc.

4. Press A to exit the setting screen.
• Normally, your watch should show the correct time as soon as you select your Home
City code. If it does not, it should adjust automatically after the next auto receive
operation (in the middle of the night). You also can perform manual receive or you
can set the time manually.
• The watch will receive the time calibration signal automatically from the applicable
transmitter (in the middle of the night) and update its settings accordingly. For
information about the relationship between city codes and transmitters, see
“Important!” under “Time Calibration Signal Reception” and “Transmitters”.
• See the maps under “Approximate Reception Ranges” for information about the
reception ranges of the watch.
• You can disable time signal reception, if you want. See “To turn auto receive on and
off” for more information.
• Under factory default settings, auto receive is turned off for all of the following city
codes: HNL (Honolulu) and ANC (Anchorage). For details about turning on auto
receive for these city codes, see “To turn auto receive on and off ”.
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
6 times a day (5 times a day for the Chinese calibration signal). 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 pointing 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.

• Make sure the watch is facing the right way.
• Proper signal reception can be difficult or even impossible under the conditions listed
below.

buildings
• Signal reception normally is better at night than during the day.
• Time calibration signal reception takes from three to eight minutes, but in some
cases it can take as long as 16 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.
HNL*, ANC*, LAX,
* The areas covered by the HNL and ANC city codes are quite far from the time
calibration signal transmitters, and so certain conditions may cause problems with
signal reception.
• Calibration signal reception is disabled while a countdown timer operation is in
progress.

• Signal reception may not be possible at the distances noted below during certain
times of the year or day. Radio interference also may cause problems with reception.

Shangqiu (China) transmitter: 1,500 kilometers (910 miles)
• Even when the watch is within the reception range of the transmitter, signal
reception will be impossible if the signal is blocked by mountains or other geological
formations between the watch and signal source.
• Signal reception is affected by weather, atmospheric conditions, and seasonal
changes.
• See the information under “Signal Reception Troubleshooting” if you experience
problems with time calibration signal reception.
About Auto Receive
The watch receives the time calibration signal automatically up to 6 times a day
(5 times a day for the Chinese calibration signal). 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 receive 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.
• Remember that reception of the calibration signal depends on the current time in the
Timekeeping Mode. The receive operation will be performed whenever the display
shows any one of the calibration times, regardless of whether or not the displayed
time actually is the correct time.

READY (or R)
• Even under optimum reception conditions, it can take about 30 seconds for
reception to stabilize.
• Check the second hand position to find out the status of a receive operation and to
determine the best location for signal reception.
• Note that weather, the time of day, surroundings, and other factors all can affect
reception.
Note
To cancel an ongoing signal receive operation, press any button.
