Navigating Between Modes
This watch has a Timekeeping Mode and
a Stopwatch Mode.
Timekeeping Mode:
Normally the mode hand points to the
current day of the week.
In the Airplane Mode, the mode hands
points to h.
Stopwatch Mode:
The mode hand always points to “STW”,
even in the Airplane Mode.
Use the (C) button to navigate between
modes.
●
Hold down (C) for at least two seconds
to return to the Timekeeping Mode.
●
Holding down (C) for four seconds or
longer will enter or exit the Airplane
Mode.
l Using the Watch on an Aircraft
Using the Crown
Depending on the operation you want to
perform, pull out the crown to the first or
second click and then rotate it.
Important!
●
To prevent loss of water
resistance and/or damage due
to impact, be sure to push the
crown in to its normal position
after you are finished using it.
●
When pushing the crown back
in, take care not to apply too
much force.
●
After pulling out the crown, rotating it
quickly in succession in either direction
will start a fast forward or fast reverse
operation. While a fast forward operation
is in progress, quickly rotating the crown
in succession again will increase the
speed even further.
●
●
Rotate the crown in the direction
opposite that of the ongoing operation or
press any button.
What is solar charging?
This watch runs on power supplied from
a rechargeable (secondary) battery that
is charged by a solar panel. The solar
panel is integrated into the face of the
watch, and power is generated
whenever the face is exposed to light.
●
Fast Forward/Fast Reverse
The fast reverse operation speed is
fixed and cannot be changed.
Stopping Fast Forward/Fast
Reverse
Note
●
If you do not perform any
operation for about two minutes
after pulling out the crown,
crown operations will
automatically become disabled.
If that happens, push the crown
back in and then pull it out again.
Solar Charging
This watch uses a special
rechargeable (secondary) battery.
ー
The watch’s battery will not charge if
the watch’s temperature is less than
approximately -10°C (14°F) or
greater than approximately 60°C
(140°F).
ー
Over-discharge will occur if the
watch is not charged within
approximately three months after it
stops operation due to low battery
power. Charging may not be
possible after over-discharge
occurs.

Charging the Watch
When you are not wearing the watch, put
it in a location where it is exposed to
bright light.
While you are wearing the watch, make
sure that its face (solar panel) is not
blocked from the light by the sleeve of
your clothing. Power generation
efficiency is reduced even when the face
of the watch is blocked only partially.
Note
●
Exposing the watch face to light
after the battery goes dead will
cause the second hand to
revolve counterclockwise until it
stops at second 57. This
indicates charging has started.
●
A fully charged watch can
operate for approximately
seven months without further
charging. Watch operation will
stop approximately 20 days
after the battery goes low.

Checking the Charge Level
The charge level is indicated by watch
hand movement. Functions become
disabled as battery power goes low.
Important!
●
Should battery go low or go
dead, expose the face (solar
panel) to light as soon as
possible.
Immediately after pressing (C) to enter to
the Timekeeping Mode, the second hand
will move to one of the positions below to
indicate the battery charge level.
●
Battery Charged
Important!
●
If the second hand stops for
some time after the watch is
continuously exposed to light, it
could mean that charging is not
possible due to over-discharge.
Request chargeable
(secondary) battery
replacement by your original
retailer or authorized CASIO
service center.
●
Depending on light intensity and
local conditions, the watch may
become hot to the touch when
exposed to light for charging.
Take care to avoid burn injury
after charging. Also, avoid
charging the watch under high-
temperature conditions like the
ones described below.

Power Saving Function
Leaving the watch in a dark location for
about one hour between the hours of 10
p.m. and 6 a.m. will cause the second
hand to stop, and the watch will enter
Level 1 power saving. If the watch is left
in this condition for six or seven days, all
hands will stop and the watch will enter
Level 2 power saving.
Level 1:
Basic timekeeping functions are
operational.
Level 2:
Only the day indicator is operational.
Note
●
Note that the watch also may
enter the power saving state if its
face is blocked from light by your
sleeve while you are wearing it.
●
The watch will enter power
saving from the Timekeeping
Mode only.
●
Recovering from Power Saving
Operation
Press any button or place the watch in a
well-lit area to recover from power
saving.
Time Adjustment (GPS,
Time Calibration Signal)
The watch’s time, day, and Home City
(time zone) settings can be configured in
accordance with a received GPS signal
or time calibration signal.
●
GPS signal position information: Used
to update Home City (time zone), time,
and day settings.
●
GPS signal time information: Used to
update time and day settings.
●
Time calibration signal: Used to update
time and day settings.
Important!
●
Before trying to receive GPS
signal time information and/or a
time calibration signal, first use
GPS to acquire position
information and configure
Home Time (time zone)
settings.
●
Put the watch into the Airplane
Mode whenever you are inside
an aircraft or in any other area
where radio wave reception is
prohibited or restricted.
l Using the Watch on an
Aircraft
Note
●
Areas where time calibration
signal reception is supported
are limited. When the watch in
an area where time calibration
signal reception is not
supported, adjust time and day
settings based on GPS signals.

Note
●
In areas where reception is
poor, keep the watch face
oriented upwards and do not
move the watch.
●
When the watch is set up for
auto receive, take care to avoid
covering the watch face with the
sleeve of your clothing.
●
GPS signal reception is not
possible in the areas described
below.
ー
Where the sky is not visible
ー
Indoors (Reception may be
possible near a window.)
ー
Near wireless communication
equipment or other devices
that generate magnetism.
●
You may experience GPS signal
reception problems in the areas
described below.

Operation Guide 5412
Acquiring GPS Position
Information Manually
You can use a button operation to
acquire GPS position information and
adjust your Home City (time zone), time,
and day settings in accordance with your
current location.
Note
●
GPS signal reception requires
large amounts of power.
Perform it only when necessary.
Getting ready
The receive operation is performed only
while the watch is in the Timekeeping
Mode (normal timekeeping).
●
Normally the mode hand points to the
current day of the week.
l Navigating Between Modes
1. Move to a location appropriate for
signal reception and orient the watch
so its display is pointed straight up at
the sky.
2. Hold down (B) for at least three
seconds. Release the button as soon
as the second hand points to “T+P”.
●
The second hand will move in the
following sequence: “YES” or
“NO” n “T (TIME)” n “T+P”.
●
This indicates that position
information acquisition has
started.
●
If position information acquisition
is successful, the second hand will
move to “YES” and then the watch
will automatically adjust its time
and day settings.
●
If position information acquisition
fails for some reason, the second
hand will move to “NO” and then
the watch will indicate the current
time and day without adjusting
them.
Note
●
Reception takes anywhere from
about 30 seconds to about two
minutes.
●
It can take as long as 13 minutes
when leap second information is
included.
●
You may experience location
information acquisition
problems when you are in the
vicinity of a time zone
borderline.
The watch’s time and day will
not be indicated correctly if the
Home City (Time Zone) setting
is not right for your location.
Perform position information
acquisition in a representative
city in your time zone or in a
location that is well within the
time zone. Or you can perform a
time information receive
operation to adjust time and day
settings after configuring Home
City (Time Zone) and summer
time settings manually.
