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.

Charging the Watch
The face of the watch is a solar panel 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.
x
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, be sure
to leave it in a location where
it is exposed to light.
Best charging
x
performance is achieved
by exposing the watch to
light that is as strong as
possible.
When wearing the watch, makes
sure that its face is not blocked
from light by the sleeve of your
clothing.
The watch may enter a sleep
x
state (page E-10) if its face is
blocked by your sleeve even
only partially.

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 x
state when 6:00 AM arrives, however, it will remain in the sleep state.
The watch will not enter a sleep state while it is in the Stopwatch Mode. x

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 continuous signal reception or other operations 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.

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-23) 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)
NEW YORK (NYC), CHICAGO (CHI),

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

on page E-14 for details.
Manual Receive: Perform the operation under “To perform manual receive” on page E-15. x
Auto Receive
x
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 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
x
Timekeeping Mode. The receive operation is not performed if a calibration time is reached while you
are confi guring settings.

As of December 2010, China does not use Daylight Saving Time (DST). If China does go to the x
Daylight Saving Time system in the future, some functions of this watch may no longer operate
correctly.
