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.
The longitude, lunitidal interval, Moon phase indicator and tide graph data that appear on the display of this watch are not intended for navigation purposes. Always use proper instruments and resources to obtain data for navigation purposes.
This watch is not an instrument for calculating low tide and high tide times. The tide graph of this watch is intended to provide a reasonable approximation of tidal movements only.
CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD. assumes no responsibility for any loss, or any claims by third parties that may arise through the use of this watch.
Warning!
About This Manual
Button operations are indicated using the letters shown in the illustration.
For the sake of simplicity, the sample displays in this manual do not show the analog hands of the watch.
Each section of this manual provides you with the information you need to perform operations in each mode. Further details and technical information can be found in the “Reference” section.

Resetting the seconds only (without changing the DST, hour, or minute setting) causes the analog minute hand setting to be adjusted automatically.
See Digital Time Daylight Saving Time (DST) Setting below for details about the DST setting.
The day of the week is displayed automatically in accordance with the date (year, month, and day) settings.
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 tide graph shows tidal movements for the current date in accordance with the current time as kept in the Timekeeping 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.

Home Site Data
Moon phase, tide graph data, and Moon/Tide Data Mode data will not be displayed properly unless Home Site data (UTC differential, longitude, and lunitidal interval) 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 lunitidal interval is the time elapsing between the Moon’s transit over a meridian and the next high tide at that meridian. See Lunitidal Interval for more information.
This watch displays lunitidal intervals in terms of hours and minutes.
The Site/Lunitidal Interval Data List at the back of this manual provides UTC
differential 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 batteries replaced. Change these settings to match the area where you normally use the watch.

).
Moon Phase
The Moon phase indicator shows the Moon as viewed at noon from a position in the Northern Hemisphere looking south. Note that at times the image shown by the Moon phase indicator may differ from that of the actual Moon in your area.
The left-right orientation of the Moon phase is reversed when viewing from the Southern Hemisphere or from a point near the equator.
Moon Phases and Moon Age
The Moon goes through a regular 29.53-day cycle. During each cycle, the Moon appears to wax and wane as the relative positioning of the Earth, Moon, and Sun changes. The greater the angular distance between the Moon and the Sun,* the more we see illuminated.
The angle to the Moon in relation to the direction at which the Sun is visible from the

This watch performs a rough calculation of the current Moon age starting from day 0 of the moon age cycle. Since this watch performs calculations using integer values only (no fractions), the margin for error of the displayed Moon age is

Tide Graph
The Tide Graph has six graphic segments, each of which indicates a different tide level. The current tide level is indicated by the displayed graphic segment.
HL
(Rising Tide) (Rising Tide)(Falling Tide)
Tidal Movements
Tides are the periodic rise and fall of the water of oceans, seas, bays, and other bodies of water caused mainly by the gravitational interactions between the Earth, Moon and Sun. Tides rise and fall about every six hours. The tide graph of this watch indicates tidal movement based on the Moons transit over a meridian and the lunitidal interval. The lunitidal interval differs according to your current location, so you must specify a lunitidal interval in order to obtain the correct tide graph readings.
The tide graph displayed by this watch is based on the current Moon age. Remember that the margin for error of the Moon age displayed by this watch is ±1 day. The greater the error in a particular Moon age, the greater the error in the resulting tide graph.
Lunitidal Interval
Theoretically, high tide is at the Moons transit over the meridian and low tide is about six hours later. Actual high tide occurs somewhat later, due to factors such as viscosity, friction, and underwater topography. Both the time differential between the Moons transit over the meridian until high tide and the time differential between the Moons transit over the meridian until low tide are known as the lunitidal interval. When setting the lunitidal interval for this watch, use the time differential between the Moons transit over the meridian until high tide.
Button Operation Tone
To turn the button operation tone on and off
In any mode (except when a setting screen is on the display), hold down C to toggle the button operation tone on (
Holding down C to turn the button operation tone on or off also causes the watchs current mode to change.

Auto Return Features
If you leave a screen with flashing digits on the display for two or three minutes without performing any operation, the watch automatically exits the setting screen.
If you leave the watch in the Moon/Tide Data, Alarm or Hand Setting Mode for two or three minutes without performing any operation, it automatically changes to the Timekeeping Mode.
Scrolling
The B and D buttons are used in various modes and setting screens to scroll through data on the display. In most cases, holding down these buttons during a scroll operation scrolls through the data at high speed.
