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.

Warning!

•The measurement functions built into this watch are not intended for use in taking measurements that require professional or industrial precision. Values produced by this watch should be considered as reasonably accurate representations only.

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

•The fishing 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.

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

•See “Thermometer” for details about the thermometer screen and temperature tendency graph.

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.

Setting the Digital Time and Date

This watch is preset with UTC differential values that represent each time zone around the globe. Before setting the digital time, be sure to first set the UTC differential for your Home Site, which is the location where you normally will be using the watch.

•Note that World Time Mode times are all displayed based on the time and date settings you configure in the Timekeeping Mode.

To set the digital time and date

1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down Auntil the

seconds start to flash, which indicates the setting

•See “Daylight Saving Time (DST) Setting” below for details about the DST setting.

•Any time the seconds setting is changed, the analog hands are adjusted accordingly.

Daylight Saving Time (DST) Setting

Daylight Saving Time (summer time) advances the time setting by one hour from Standard Time. Remember that not all countries or even local areas use Daylight Saving Time.

• The DST indicator appears on the Timekeeping, Fishing, Alarm, and Hand Setting Mode screens to indicate that Daylight Saving Time is turned on. In the case of the Fishing Mode, the DST indicator appears on the fishing level screen only.

Home Site Data

Moon phase, the fishing level indicator, and Fishing 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.

Fishing level

indicator FISH indicator

The Fishing Mode displays an indicator that shows, as one of five levels, the suitability of a specific date and time (minute 00 to minute 59 of a particular hour) for fishing. This mode also can be used to display Moon Data (Moon age and Moon phase) for a specific date.

•If you suspect that the fishing level indicator or current Moon data is wrong for some reason, check the current Timekeeping Mode settings (time, date, and Home Site), and correct them if required.

•See “Moon Phase Indicator” for information about the Moon phase indicator.

•All of the operations in this section are performed in the Fishing Mode, which you enter by pressing C.

Fishing Level Screen

Fishing Level Indicator

The fishing level indicator shows the relative favorability of a fishing time (calculated in accordance with Moon transit and phase) as shown in the table below.

Level 5		Level 4	Level 3	Level 2	Level 1
	Moon Transit		Upper	West	Other
Moon Phase			Lower	East
New moon*			Level 5	Level 4	Level 3
Full moon
First quarter			Level 4	Level 3	Level 2
Last quarter
Other			Level 3	Level 2	Level 1

*These indicators actually appear during Moon ages 13.0 to 16.6 (Full Moon and phase immediately preceding it) and 27.7 to 1.8 (New Moon and phase immediately preceding it).

•The fishing level indicator changes in accordance with the Moon data.

•In the Timekeeping Mode, the FISH indicator flashes whenever the fishing level of the current time is 4 or 5.

To view the current fishing level and Moon data

In the Fishing Mode, press Ato toggle between the fishing level screen and the Moon Data screen.

•The fishing level indicator shows the level for the displayed time. The initial fishing level screen shows the level for 6:00 a.m. The Moon data screen shows the Moon age and Moon phase for the current date.

Thermometer

This watch uses a temperature sensor to measure temperature. A reading is taken during each even-numbered minute, and the result of the last reading is displayed on the thermometer screen.

The watch also takes separate readings and stores them in memory for display in the temperature tendency graph, which can be viewed in the Timekeeping Mode. Measured temperature values are stored in memory for later recall when you need them.

•You can select either Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F) units for the thermometer screen. See “To specify the temperature display unit” for more information.

•The thermometer screen displays temperature values in 0.1°C units (or 0.2°F units).

•The display range of the thermometer screen is –10.0°C to 60.0°C (or 14.0°F to 140.0°F).

•You can calibrate the temperature sensor if you feel that the displayed temperature values are not correct. See “Temperature Sensor Calibration” for more information.

Important!

•Temperature measurements are affected by your body temperature (while you are wearing the watch), direct sunlight, and moisture. To achieve a more accurate temperature measurement, remove the watch from your wrist, place it in a well ventilated location out of direct sunlight, and wipe all moisture from the case. It takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes for the case of the watch to reach the actual surrounding temperature.

Temperature Tendency Graph

The watch also takes temperature readings at the top and the bottom of each hour and stores the results in memory for display on the temperature tendency graph. Depending on the current Timekeeping Mode time, the temperature tendency graph shows either the top of the hour measurements or the bottom of the hour measurements for the past 17 hours.

From the top of each hour to the 29th minute, past top of the hour readings are shown in the graph. From the bottom of each hour to the 59th minute, past bottom of the hour readings are shown in the graph.

Temperature tendency graph contents are updated every 30 minutes.

+6.0 to +9.9°C (+10.8 to +17.8°F) +2.0 to +5.9°C (+3.6 to +10.6°F)

–1.9 to +1.9°C (–3.4 to +3.4°F)

–5.9 to –2.0°C (–10.6 to –3.6°F) –9.9 to –6.0°C (–17.8 to –10.8°F)

Past 17 hours of

measurement values Latest measurement value

The horizontal axis of the graph represents time. The rightmost column is the newest temperature value in memory, while the leftmost column is the temperature value stored approximately 17 hours ago (1 dot = 1 hour). The vertical axis of the graph represents the relative change from one hour to the next.

•When the relative change from one hour to the next exceeds +10.0°C (+18.0°F), the dot at the highest point for the applicable hour flashes.

•When the relative change from one hour to the next exceeds –10.0°C (–18.0°F), there is no dot in the applicable hour’s column.

•If a measurement error occurs for some reason, only a single the dot in the center column will be displayed.
