Getting Acquainted

Congratulations upon your selection of this CASIO watch. To get the most out of your purchase, be sure to read this manual carefully and keep it on hand for later reference when necessary.

Important!

The fishing/hunting level indicator and moon phase indicator produced by this watch are all based on calculations that use the watch’s current time, date, and Home Site settings. Because of this, you should make sure that the current date and time, and your Home Site data are all correct before using the indicators.

•When fishing or hunting, always take proper precautions to ensure your own personal safety and the personal safety of others around you.

•Note that the fishing/hunting level indicator and moon phase indicator are all based on calculated values. They are provided only for reference purposes.

•See the “Timekeeping” section of this manual for information about setting the current time and date, and about specifying your Home Site.

Digital Time and Date

This watch features separate digital and analog timekeeping. The procedures for setting the digital time and analog time are different.

•The Moon phase indicator shows the current Moon phase in accordance with the current date as kept in the Timekeeping Mode.

•The fishing/hunting level indicator indicates the times when fish or game can be expected to be feeding. For more information, see “Fishing/Hunting Mode”.

Important!

•Be sure to configure the current time and date, and your Home Site data (data for the site where you use the watch) correctly before using the functions of this watch. See “Home Site Data” for more information.

Use the Timekeeping Mode to set and view a digital display of the current time and date. When setting the digital time, you can also configure settings for summer time (Daylight Saving Time or DST).

Home Site Data

Moon phase, the fishing/hunting level indicator, and Fishing/Hunting Mode data will not be displayed properly unless Home Site data (UTC differential and longitude) is configured correctly.

•The UTC differential is a value that indicates the time difference between a reference point in Greenwich, England and the time zone where a city is located.

•The letters “UTC” is the abbreviation for “Coordinated Universal Time”, which is the world-wide scientific standard of timekeeping. It is based upon carefully maintained atomic (cesium) clocks that keep time accurately to within microseconds. Leap seconds are added or subtracted as necessary to keep UTC in sync with the Earth’s rotation.

•The “Site Data List” at the back of this manual provides UTC differential, latitude, and longitude information around the world.

•The following is the initial factory default Home Site data (Tokyo, Japan) when you first purchase the watch, and whenever you have the battery replaced. Change these settings to match the area where you normally use the watch.
