Congratulations upon your selection of this CASIO watch.

Applications

The built-in sensors of this watch measure direction, barometric pressure, temperature and altitude. Measured values are then shown on the display. Such 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 your watch or its malfunction.

Important!

• The watch’s Altimeter Mode calculates and displays relative altitude based on barometric pressure

readings produced by its pressure sensor. This means that readings taken at different times at the same location may produce different altitude values due to changes in barometric pressure. Also note that the value displayed by the watch may be different from the actual elevation and/or sea level elevation indicated for the area where you are located.

• When using the watch’s altimeter while mountain climbing, be sure to perform regular calibration in

accordance with the local altitude (elevation) indications. For more information, see “To specify a reference altitude value” (page E-63).

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

activities, be sure always to take along another compass to conﬁ by the digital compass of this watch are different from those of the other compass, perform ﬁ gure 8 calibration or 3-point calibration of the digital compass to ensure more accurate readings.

Important!

• Allowing the watch to become very hot can cause its liquid crystal display to go blank (totally black or

totally white, depending on the watch model). The appearance of the LCD should become normal again when the watch returns to a lower temperature.

• Turn on the watch’s Power Saving function (page E-19) and keep it 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. Expose the watch to bright light whenever possible.

Power Levels

Hold down B for at least two seconds to enter the Timekeeping Mode. You can get an idea of the watch’s power level by observing the battery power indicator on the display.

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

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 the strongest light available.

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 conditions below for long periods.

• On the dashboard of a car parked in direct sunlight

• Too close to an incandescent lamp

• Under direct sunlight

• Leaving the watch exposed to direct sunlight or some other very strong light source can cause the

battery power indicator to show a reading temporarily that is higher than the actual battery level. The correct battery level should be indicated after a few minutes.

• All data stored in memory is deleted, and the current time and all other settings return to their initial

factory defaults whenever battery power drops to Level 5 and when you have the battery replaced.

A dark environment while battery power is at Level 4 will cause the level to drop to Level 5. Expose the

watch to bright light whenever possible.

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-38) for more information. This section explains how the watch updates its time settings automatically 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:

LIS, LON, MAD, PAR, ROM, BER, STO, ATH, MOW Anthorn (England), Mainﬂ ingen (Germany)

Important!

• If the second hand does not point exactly at 12 o’clock after you perform step 4 above, perform the

operation under “Hand Home Position Adjustment” (page E-41) to adjust it.

• If the digital display contents start to ﬂ ash after you perform a reading operation, it means that

abnormal magnetism has been detected. Move away from any potential source of strong magnetism and try taking a reading again. If the problem occurs when you try again, continue to keep away from the source of strong magnetism, perform ﬁ reading again. For more information, refer to “To perform ﬁ gure 8 calibration” (page E-48), “To perform 3-point calibration” (page E-50) and “Location” (page E-57).

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 60 seconds. After that, the reading operation will stop automatically.

• The margin of error for the angle value and the direction indicator is ±11 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 304 to 326 degrees.

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

• Any ongoing direction reading operation is paused temporarily while the watch is performing an alert

Calibrating the Bearing Sensor

You should calibrate the bearing sensor whenever you feel that the direction readings being produced by the watch are off.

Figure 8 Calibration, 3-point Calibration

•

You should perform calibration whenever direction readings produced by the watch do not match those of another reliable compass, and before setting off on a trek or climb. Leave the watch on your wrist when performing ﬁ wrist. Both calibration methods calibrate the direction sensor. You can use either method for calibration.

Important!

• If the readings produced by the digital compass of this watch are different from those of the other

compass, perform ﬁ gure 8 calibration or 3-point calibration of the digital compass to ensure more accurate readings. Accurate measurements and/or calibration will not be possible in an area exposed to strong magnetic force and indoors (especially inside reinforced concrete structure). In this case, moving outdoors, away from the source of magnetism for measurement and calibration is recommended.

Magnetic Declination Correction

•

With magnetic declination correction, you input a magnetic declination angle (difference between magnetic north and true north), which allows the watch to indicate true north. You can perform this procedure when the magnetic declination angle is indicated on the map you are using. Note that you can input the declination angle in whole degree units only, so you may need to round off the value speciﬁ on the map. If your map indicates the declination angle as 7.4°, you should input 7°. In the case of 7.6° input 8°. For 7.5° you can input 7° or 8°.

Setting a map and ﬁ nding your current location

Having an idea of your current location is important when mountain climbing or hiking. To do this, you need to “set the map”, which means to align the map so the directions indicated on it are aligned with the actual directions of your location. Basically what you are doing is aligning north on the map with north as indicated by the watch.

• Note that map reading skills and experience are required to determine your current location and

destination on a map.

Example: Advancing to an objective while monitoring your bearing

Even if you lose sight of your objective, you can use a map to store the required bearing in bearing memory and refer to the memorized information to advance to your objective.

1. Set the map (page E-55).

2. Without changing the orientation of the map, place the watch on it at your current location, and point 12

o’clock at your desired objective on the map.

3. With the 12 o’clock position of the watch pointed towards your objective on the map, press C.

• The watch sta rts taking di rection reading s, with the ﬁ rst re sult appearin g after abou t one second.

4. During the approximately 60 seconds that direction readings are being taken, press D to store the

bearing direction in memory.

• Now you can advance towards your objective while observing the stored bearing on the watch

display.

Important!

• As you progress, the direction to your objective will change, so you need to keep updating the

information in bearing memory.

The northerly direction can be expressed either as magnetic north or true north, which are different from each other. Also, it is important to keep in mind that magnetic north moves over time.

• Magnetic north is the north that is indicated by the needle of a

compass.

• True north, which is the location of the North Pole of the Earth’s axis, is

the north that is normally indicated on maps.

• The difference between magnetic north and true north is called the

“declination”. The closer you get to the North Pole, the greater the declination angle.

Location

• Taking a direction reading when you are near a source of strong magnetism can cause large errors in

readings. Because of this, you should avoid taking direction readings while in the vicinity of the following types of objects: permanent magnets (magnetic necklaces, etc.), concentrations of metal (metal doors, lockers, etc.), high tension wires, aerial wires, household appliances (TVs, personal computers, washing machines, freezers, etc.).

• Accurate readings are also impossible indoors, especially inside ferroconcrete structures. This is

because the metal framework of such structures picks up magnetism from appliances, etc.

• Accurate direction readings are impossible while in a train, boat, air plane, etc.

Storage

• The precision of the bearing sensor may deteriorate if the watch becomes magnetized. Because of

this, you should store the watch away from magnets or any other sources of strong magnetism, including: permanent magnets (magnetic necklaces, etc.), concentrations of metal (metal doors, lockers, etc.), and household appliances (TVs, personal computers, washing machines, freezers, etc.).

• Whenever you suspect that the watch may have become magnetized, perform the procedure under “To

gure 8 calibration” (page E-48) or “To perform 3-point calibration” (page E-50).

perform ﬁ

E-57

Using the Altimeter Mode

The watch takes altitude readings and displays results based on air pressure measurements taken by a built-in pressure sensor. It also saves various types of altitude records and data.

• The displayed altitude reading is a relative altitude that is calculated based on measurement of

changes in barometric pressure by the watch’s pressure sensor. This means that barometric pressure changes can cause readings taken at different times at the same location to be different. Also note that the value displayed by the watch may be different from the actual elevation and/or sea level elevation indicated for the area where you are located. When using the watch’s altimeter while mountain climbing, it is recommended that you perform regular calibration in accordance with the local altitude (elevation) indications.

Important!

• See “To specify a reference altitude value” (page E-63) and “Altimeter Precautions” (page E-73) for information

about how to minimize differences between readings produced by the watch and values provided by local altitude (elevation) indications.

Getting Ready

Before actually taking an altitude reading you need to select an altitude reading interval.

Selecting the Auto Altitude Reading Interval

You can select either of the two altitude auto measurement intervals below.

0'05

: Readings at one-second intervals for the ﬁ rst three minutes, and then every ﬁ ve seconds for

approximately the next hour

2'00

: Readings at one-second intervals for the ﬁ rst three minutes, and then every two minutes for

approximately the next 12 hours

E-58

Note

• If you do not pe rform any but ton operatio n while in the Al timeter Mod e, the watch will retur n to the

imekeepin g Mode automa tically after 12 ho urs (altitude auto rea ding interval: 2'00) or af ter one

hour (altitude a uto reading inter val: 0'05).

To specify the altitude auto reading interval

Taking Altitude Readings

Use the procedure below to take basic altitude readings.

• See “Using Reference Altitude Values” (page E-62) for information about how to make altimeter readings

more accurate.

• See “How does the altimeter work?” (page E-72) for information about how the watch measures altitude.

E-60

• The Altitude Tendency Graph shows changes in altitude over the past 6 readings while readings are

being taken automatically.

Using Reference Altitude Values

To minimize the chance of reading error, you should update the reference altitude value before setting off on a trek or any other activity where you plan to take altitude readings. During a trek, keep checking the readings produced by the watch against altitude information provided by markers and other information, and update the reference altitude value as required.

• Reading error can be caused by changes in barometric pressure, atmospheric conditions, and

elevation.

• Before performing the procedure below, look up the altitude of your current location on a map, the

Internet, etc.

range for the altitude differential value is 100 meters to –100 meters (100 meters = 328 feet), or 1,000 meters to –1,000 meters (1,000 meters = 3,280 feet).

• If a reading value is outside the allowable range, the small hand will

point to either

• The small hand will move to 12 o’clock if a sensor reading could not be

taken for some reason or if the reading is outside the allowable range.

How does the altimeter work?

Generally, air pressure decreases as altitude increases. This watch bases its altitude reading on International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) values stipulated by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). These values deﬁ ne relationships between altitude and air pressure.

• Note that the conditions below will prevent you from obtaining accurate readings:

When air pressure changes because of changes in the weather Extreme temperature changes When the watch itself is subjected to strong impact

There are two standard methods of expressing altitude: absolute altitude, which expresses an absolute height above sea level, and relative altitude, which expresses the difference between the altitudes of two different places. This watch expresses altitudes as relative altitude.

Height of building 130 m (relative altitude)

Regular calibration of the watch in accordance with values provided by local altitude (elevation) indications is recommended before taking readings in order to maximize reading accuracy (page E-62).

E-72

Rooftop at an altitude of 230 m above sea level (absolute altitude)

Precautions Concerning Simultaneous Altitude and Temperature Readings

For the more accurate altitude readings, leaving the watch on your wrist is recommended in order to maintain the watch at a constant temperature.

• When taking readings, keep the watch at as stable a temperature as possible. Changes in temperature

can affect readings.

Altimeter Precautions

• This watch estimates altitude based on air pressure. This means that altitude readings for the same

location may vary if air pressure changes.

• Do not use this watch for altitude reading or perform button operations while sky diving, hang gliding,

or paragliding, while riding a gyrocopter, glider, or any other aircraft, or while engaging in any other activity where there is the chance of sudden altitude changes.

• Do not use this watch for measuring altitude in applications that demand professional or industrial level

precision.

• Remember that the air inside of a commercial aircraft is pressurized. Because of this, the readings

produced by this watch will not match the altitude readings announced or indicated by the ﬂ

ight crew.

Barometric pressure indicates changes in the atmosphere. By monitoring these changes you can predict the weather with reasonable accuracy. Your watch can be conﬁ gured to take barometric pressure reading automatically every two hours or every 30 minutes. Readings are used to produce Barometric Pressure Graph and to determine the barometric pressure differential pointer position.

• The horizontal axis of the graph represents time, with each dot

standing for either two hours or 30 minutes (depending on the watch settings). The rightmost dot represents the most recent reading.

• The vertical axis of the graph represents barometric pressure, with

each dot standing for the relative difference between its value and that of the dots next to it. Each dot represents 1 hPa.

Barometric Pressure Change Indications

Your watch analyzes past barometric pressure readings and uses a barometric pressure change indicator to inform you about changes in pressure. If the watch detects a signiﬁ cant change in barometric pressure, it will beep and display a ﬂ ashing arrow that indicates the direction of the pressure change. This means you could start taking barometric pressure readings after reaching a lodge or camp area, and then check the watch the next morning for changes in pressure. You will then be able to plan your day’s activities accordingly. Note that you can enable or disable display of the barometric pressure change indicator as desired. The barometric pressure change indicator is displayed in the Barometer Mode, while the Barometric Pressure Graph is displayed in the Timekeeping Mode (page E-35).

Reading the Barometric Pressure Change Indicator

Indicator Meaning

Sudden fall in pressure.

Sudden rise in pressure.

Sustained rise in pressure, changing to a fall.

Sustained fall in pressure, changing to a rise.

• The barometric pressure change indicator is not displayed if there has been no noteworthy change in

barometric pressure.

• Note that time calibration signal reception and power saving (page E-19) are disabled while barometric

pressure change indicator display is enabled.

• Note that barometric pressure change indicator display cannot be enabled while the watch’s battery is

low.

Pressure Sensor Calibration

The pressure sensor built into the watch is calibrated at the factory and normally requires no further adjustment. If you notice serious errors in the pressure readings produced by the watch, you can calibrate the sensor to correct the errors.

Important!

• Incorrectly calibrating the barometric pressure sensor can result in incorrect readings. Before

performing the calibration procedure, compare the readings produced by the watch with those of another reliable and accurate barometer.

Important!

• To ensure proper results, take barometric readings under conditions where the altitude remains

constant.

Example

– In a lodge or campground – On the ocean

• A change in altitude causes a change in barometric pressure. Because of this, correct readings are

impossible. Do not take readings while ascending or descending a mountain, etc.

Enabling or Disabling Display of the Barometric Pressure Change Indicator

You can enable or disable display of the barometric pressure change indicator as desired. When display of the indicator is enabled, the watch will take a barometric pressure reading every two minutes, regardless of the mode it is in.

Viewing Favorable Fishing Times

Your watch displays favorable ﬁ shing times that are determined based on the belief that the phase of the Moon and the hour angle affects the feeding activities of ﬁ sh, and indicates the degree of favorability for that day in graphic form. A ﬁ shing time alarm alerts when a ﬁ shing time is reached.

• Fishing times are when the visible Moon direction (hour angle) is directly overhead (Hour Angle: 00:00),

90° west from directly overhead (Hour Angle: 6:00), directly below (Hour Angle: 12:00), and 90° east from directly overhead (Hour Angle: 18:00)

• Illumination will turn off automatically if an alarm starts to sound or if you perform a crown operation.

• Illumination will not turn on if a calibration signal receive operation or hand movement operation is in

progress. Also, illumination may not turn on while a sensor is taking a reading.

Important!

• The light source of then analog hand area is an ultraviolet light emitting diode. Do not look directly at

the light source lens.

• Do not attempt to remove the light source from the other watch to use it for another purpose.

About the Auto Light Switch

Enabling the auto light switch causes illumination to turn on, whenever you position your wrist as described below in any mode.

Moving the watch to a position that is parallel to the ground and then tilting it towards you more than 40 degrees causes illumination to turn on.

Warning!

Always make sure you are in a safe place whenever you are reading the display of the watch

•

using the auto light switch. Be especially careful when running or engaged in any other activity that can result in accident or injury. Also take care that sudden illumination by the auto light switch does not startle or distract others around you.

When you are wearing the watch, make sure that its auto light switch is disabled before riding on

•

a bicycle or operating a motorcycle or any other motor vehicle. Sudden and unintended operation of the auto light switch can create a distraction, which can result in a trafﬁ c and serious personal injury.

Illumination Precautions

• The LED that provides illumination loses power after very long use.

• Illumination may be hard to see when viewed under direct sunlight.

• Illumination turns off automatically whenever an alarm sounds.

• Frequent use of illumination runs down the battery.

Auto light switch precautions

• Wearing the watch on the inside of your wrist, movement of your arm, or vibration of your arm can

cause frequent activation of the auto light switch and illumination of the display. To avoid running down the battery, disable the auto light switch whenever engaging in activities that might cause frequent illumination of the display.

• Note that wearing the watch under your sleeve while the auto light switch is enabled can cause

frequent illumination of the display and can run down the battery.

• Illumination may not turn on if the face of the watch is more than 15

degrees above or below parallel. Make sure that the back of your hand is parallel to the ground.

• Illumination turns off after the preset illumination duration (page E-116), even

if you keep the watch pointed towards your face. Static electricity or magnetic force can interfere with proper operation of

•

the auto light switch. If illumination does not turn on, try moving the watch back to the starting position (parallel with the ground) and then tilt it back towards your face again. If this does not work, drop your arm all the way down so it hangs at your side, and then bring it back up again.

• You may notice a very faint clicking sound coming from the watch

when it is shaken back and forth. This sound is caused by mechanical operation of the auto light switch, and does not indicate a problem with the watch.

I can’t get correct altitude readings.

■

Relative altitude is calculated based on changes in barometric pressure measurement by the watch’s pressure sensor. This means that barometric pressure changes can cause readings taken at different times at the same location to be different. Also note that the value displayed by the watch may be different from the actual elevation and/or sea level elevation indicated for the area where you are located. When using the watch’s altimeter while mountain climbing, you need to be sure to perform regular calibration in accordance with the local altitude (elevation) indications. For more information, see “To specify a reference altitude value” (page E-63).

Following a relative altitude reading, the watch’s small hand points to 12 o’clock.
