Operation Guide 5415

Congratulations upon your selection of this CASIO watch.

Applications

This watch has built-in sensors that measure direction and temperature. Measurement results are indicated by the watch’s hands and displays. These features make this watch useful when hiking, mountain climbing, or when engaging in other such outdoor activities.

• The measurement functions built into this watch are not intended for taking measurements that

require professional or industrial precision. Values produced by this watch should be considered as reasonable representations only.

•

When engaging in mountain climbing or other activities in which losing your way can create a dangerous or life-threatening situation, always use a second compass to conﬁ rm direction readings.

• 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.

Warning!

About This Manual

• Depending on the model of your watch, display text appears either as

dark ﬁ gures on a light background, or light ﬁ gures on a dark background. All examples in this manual are shown using dark ﬁ gures on a light background.

• Button operations are indicated using the letters shown in the

illustration.

• Note that the product illustrations in this manual are intended for

reference only, and so the actual product may appear somewhat different than depicted by an illustration.

Important!

• Whenever you use the digital compass of this watch for serious trekking, mountain climbing, or other

activities, always be sure to take along another compass to conﬁ rm readings. If the readings produced by the digital compass of this watch are different from those of the other compass, perform bidirectional calibration of the digital compass to ensure more accurate readings.

• Direction readings and digital compass calibration will not be possible if the watch is in the vicinity of a

permanent magnet (magnetic accessory, etc.), metal objects, high-voltage wires, aerial wires, or electrical household appliances (TV, computer, cellphone, etc.)

Things to check before using the watch

1. Check the Home City and the daylight saving time (DST) setting.

Use the procedure under “To conﬁ gure Home City settings” (page E-13) to conﬁ gure your Home City and daylight saving time settings.

Important!

Proper World Time Mode data depends on correct Home City, time, and date settings in the Timekeeping Mode. Make sure you conﬁ gure these settings correctly.

2. Set the current time.

See “Conﬁ guring Current Time and Date Settings” (page E-15).

The watch is now ready for use.

Note

After performing home position adjustment, check to make sure that the analog hands and the upper display indicate the same time. If they do not, perform home position adjustment again.

Using the Digital Compass

You can use the Digital Compass Mode to determine the direction of north, and to check your bearing to a destination.

• For information about what you can do to improve digital compass reading accuracy, see “Calibrating

the Bearing Sensor” (page E-23) and “Digital Compass Precautions” (page E-31).

To perform a digital compass operation

1. Place the watch on a ﬂ at surface. If you are wearing the watch, make sure that your wrist is horizontal

(in relation to the horizon).

2. Point the 12 o’clock position of the watch in the direction you want to check.

3. In any mode (except a setting mode), press C to perform a digital compass operation.

• This will cause the mode dial hand to move to COMPASS.

• COMP will appear in th e lower display t o indicate that a d igital com pass operat ion is in progre ss.

• After abo ut two sec onds, the s econd hand w ill point in th e direction o f magnetic no rth. Th e

bearing and d irection an gle value will a ppear on the d igital disp lay.

Digital Compass Readings

• After the ﬁ rst reading is obtained, the watch will continue to take digital compass readings automatically

each second for up to 20 seconds. After that, the digital compass operation will stop automatically.

• The direction indicator and angle value will show

complete.

• The auto light switch is disabled during the 20 seconds that digital compass readings are being taken.

• The following table shows the meanings of each of the direction abbreviations that appear on the lower

display.

Direction Meaning Direction Meaning Direction Meaning Direction Meaning

North

East

South

West

• The margin of error for the angle value and the direction indicator is ±15 degrees while the watch is

horizontal (in relation to the horizon). If the indicated direction is northwest (NW) and 315 degrees, for example, the actual direction can be anywhere from 300 to 330 degrees.

• Note that performing a digital compass operation while the watch is not horizontal (in relation to the

horizon) can result in large error.

• You can calibrate the bearing sensor if you suspect the direction reading is incorrect.

• If there is an an gle value in the l ower display, it mea ns that the be aring mem ory reco rd (page

E-28) is displ ayed. If this happ ens, press E to exit the bea ring memo ry record.

4. To return to the mode you were in immediately before entering the Digital Compass Mode, press D. To enter the Timekeeping Mode, hold down D for at least two seconds.

• Any ongoing digital compass operation is paused temporarily while the watch is performing an alert

operation (daily alarm, Hourly Time Signal, countdown timer alarm) or while illumination is turned on (by pressingB). The digital compass operation resumes for its remaining duration after the operation that caused it to pause is ﬁ nished.

• See “Digital Compass Precautions” (page E-31) for important information about taking direction readings.

• The direction indicated by the Digital Compass is magnetic north.

You can use Magnetic Declination Correction to conﬁ gure the watch to indicate true north, if you want.

For details, see “Magnetic Declination Correction” below, “To perform magnetic declination correction” (page E-26), and “Magnetic North and True North” (page E-31).

Calibrating the Bearing Sensor

You should calibrate the bearing sensor whenever you feel that the direction readings being produced by the watch are off. You can use any one of two different bearing sensor calibration methods: bidirectional calibration or magnetic declination correction.

Bidirectional Calibration

•

Bidirectional calibration calibrates the bearing sensor in relation to magnetic north. Use bidirectional calibration when you want to take readings within an area exposed to magnetic force. This type of calibration should be used if the watch becomes magnetized for any reason.

Important!

• To ensure correct direction readings by the digital compass, be sure to perform bidirectional calibration

before using it. The digital compass may produce incorrect direction readings if you do not perform bidirectional calibration.
