Casio 5620 User Manual

MO1904-EA

User’s Guide 5620

Important!

x Keep the watch’s face exposed to light as much as possible (page E-4). x This manual provides a brief overview of your watch.

Important Altimeter and Compass Information!

x The Altimeter Mode displays relative altitude based on barometric pressure readings. Readings taken

at different times at the same location may produce different values due to changes in pressure. The value displayed by the watch may be different from the actual elevation and/or sea level elevation of your location.

x When using the Altimeter Mode for mountain climbing or other activities, it is highly recommended that

you check a map, local altitude indications, or some other source for your current correct altitude, and that you regularly calibrate the Altimeter Mode.

x When using the watch compass for serious trekking or climbing always take along another compass

to confirm readings. If watch readings are different from the other compass, perform bidirectional calibration of the watch compass.

x Direction readings and calibration will not be possible if the watch is near a permanent magnet

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

x Calibration: Operation Guide available at the CASIO website.

WAVE CEPTOR Important!

Before using the watch for the first time, use the steps below for signal reception, which sets the current time. See the Operation Guide available at the CASIO website for details.

1. Specify your Home City code (time zone where you normally use the watch).

2. Perform manual signal receive.

Congratulations upon your selection of this CASIO watch.

Important!

x If you are going to a location where Internet access is not available, download the Operation Guide

PDF from the website below to a device that you will be taking along with you.

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.

Charging the Watch

Remove the watch from your wrist and place it in a brightly lit area.

x The watch may become hot when exposed to light for charging. Take care to avoid burn injury. x Avoid charging in locations where it is very hot.

Power Saving

x Leaving the watch in a dark locations for about one hour between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. will

cause the second hand to stop.

x Leaving the watch in a dark location for about one week will cause all hands to stop.

Battery Alerts

x Low Battery

Second hand jumps every two seconds (Low Battery Alert).

x Dead Battery

All hands stopped.

Using the Watch

Navigating Between the Timekeeping, Compass, and Altimeter Modes

x To return directly to the Timekeeping Mode from any other mode, hold down B for at least two

seconds.

x To enter the Compass Mode or Altimeter Mode from any mode not shown in the diagram below, first

return to the Timekeeping Mode.

Configuring Current Time and Date Settings Automatically

Date and time settings are kept accurate using information provided by a time calibration signal.

x Time calibration signals can be received using Auto Receive (page E-11) or Manual Receive. Normally, you

should set up the watch for Auto Receive of the current time and date.

x If you are in an area where a time calibration signal cannot be received, you need to adjust time and

date settings manually (page E-13).

x For information about manual receive and time calibration signal reception ranges, refer to the

Operation Guide available at the CASIO website.

Important!

x For the watch to be able to receive a time calibration signal, its Home City setting must be one where

time calibration signal reception is normally supported (pages E-11 and E-12).

signal transmitters, so certain conditions may cause reception problems.

Auto Receive

Important!

x Perform the signal receive operation in the Timekeeping Mode.

See “Using the Watch” (page E-6).

Leave the watch near a window between midnight and 5:00 a.m.

●

x When the receive operation is successful, the time and date settings will be adjusted automatically. x If you are unable to receive a signal, check the Operation Guide available at the CASIO website to

ensure the watch is in a suitable location.

Mode Settings

x Before performing a crown operation, rotate it towards you to unlock (unscrew) it. x You can change the following settings by operating the watch’s crown: Home City, Start time (Timer),

Alarm time, and World Time City.

x For full details about mode operations and calibrating measurements (direction, altitude, barometric

pressure, temperature), refer to the Operation Guide available at the CASIO website.

Important!

x When not using the crown, be sure to rotate it away from you to relock it (screw it back in). This

protects against damage due to impact and loss of water resistance.
