Important!

• Normally, your watch should show the correct time as soon as you select your Home City code. If it does not, it should adjust automatically after the next auto receive operation (in the middle of the night). You can also perform manual receive or you can set the time manually.

• The watch will receive the time calibration signal automatically from the applicable transmitter (in the middle of the night) and update its settings accordingly. For information about the relationship between city codes and transmitters, see “Home City Codes and Transmitters”.

• Under factory default settings, auto receive is turned off for all of the following city codes: MOW (Moscow), HKG (Hong Kong), BJS (Beijing), HNL (Honolulu), and ANC (Anchorage). For details about turning on auto receive for these city codes, see “To turn auto receive on and off”.

• You can disable time signal reception, if you want. See “To turn auto receive on and off” for more information.

• See the maps under “Reception Ranges” for information about the reception ranges of the watch.

• If you are in an area that does not use Daylight Saving Time (summertime), turn off the DST setting.

Time Calibration Signal Reception

There are two different methods you can use to receive the time calibration signal: auto receive and manual receive.

• Auto Receive

With auto receive, the watch receives the time calibration signal automatically up to six times a day. When any auto receive is successful, the remaining auto receive operations are not performed. For more information, see “About Auto Receive”.

• Manual Receive

Manual receive lets you start a time calibration receive operation with the press of a button. For more information, see “To perform manual receive”.

Important!

• When getting ready to receive the time calibration signal, position the watch as shown in the nearby illustration, with its 12 o’clock side facing towards a window. Make sure there are no metal objects nearby.

12 o’clock

• Make sure the watch is facing the right way.

Page 2

Operation Guide 4765

• Proper signal reception can be difficult or even impossible under the conditions listed below.

Inside or among buildings

• Signal reception normally is better at night than during the day.

• Time calibration signal reception takes from two to seven minutes, but in some

cases it can take as long as 14 minutes. Take care that you do not perform any button operations or move the watch during this time.

• The time calibration signal the watch will attempt to pick up depends on its current Home City code setting as shown below. If you use the watch in Japan or Europe (each of which has two different transmitter locations), it will try to receive the time calibration signal from one of the transmitters in your current location. If it cannot receive the signal, it will then try to receive the time calibration signal from the other transmitter.

Note

• When a calibration time is reached, the watch will receive the calibration signal only if it is in either the Timekeeping Mode or World Time Mode. Reception is not performed if a calibration time is reached while you are configuring settings.

• Auto receive of the calibration signal is designed to be performed early in the morning, while you sleep (provided that the Timekeeping Mode time is set correctly). Before going to bed for the night, remove the watch from your wrist, and put it in a location where it can receive the signal easily.

• The watch receives the calibration signal for one to five minutes everyday when the time in the Timekeeping Mode reaches each of the calibration times. Avoid performing any button operation within five minutes before or after any one of the calibration times. Doing so can interfere with correct calibration.

• Remember that reception of the calibration signal depends on the current time in the Timekeeping Mode. The receive operation will be performed whenever the display shows any one of the calibration times, regardless of whether or not the displayed time actually is the correct time.

• Calibration signal reception is disabled while a countdown timer operation is

in progress.

About the Receiving Indicator

The receiving indicator shows the strength of the calibration signal being received. For best reception, be sure to keep the watch in a location where signal strength is strongest.

Receiving indicator

Weak

(Level 0)

• Use the receiving indicator as a guide for checking signal strength and for finding the best location for the watch during signal receive operations.

• Even in an area where signal strength is strong, it takes about 10 seconds for signal reception to stabilize enough for the receiving indicator to indicate signal strength.

Power Supply

This watch is equipped with a solar cell and a special rechargeable battery (secondary battery) that is charged by the electrical power produced by the solar cell. The illustration shown below shows how you should position the watch for charging.

Example: Orient the watch so its face

is pointing at a light source.

• The illustration shows how to position a watch with a resin band.

• Note that charging efficiency drops when any part of the solar cell is blocked by clothing, etc.

• You should try to keep the watch outside of your sleeve as much as possible. Charging is reduced significantly if the face is only partially covered.

Important!

• 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 rechargeable battery power to run down. Make sure that the watch is normally exposed to bright light whenever possible.

• This watch uses a special rechargeable battery to store power produced by the solar cell, so regular battery replacement is not required. However, after very long use, the rechargeable battery may lose its ability to achieve a full charge. If you experience problems getting the special rechargeable battery to charge fully, contact your dealer or CASIO distributor about having it replaced.

• Never try to remove or replace the watch’s special battery yourself. Use of the wrong type of battery can damage the watch.

• 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.

• Turn on the watch’s Power Saving function and keep it in an area normally exposed to bright light when storing it for long periods. This helps to keep the rechargeable battery from going dead.

To check the current battery level

Press C to display the battery level indicator.

• The flashing Low indicator (L) at Level 3 and the flashing charge indicator (C) at Level 4 tell you that battery power is very low, and that exposure to bright light for charging is required as soon as possible.

• At Level 5, all functions are disabled and settings return to their initial factory defaults. Functions are enabled once again after the rechargeable battery is charged, but you need to set the time and date, after the battery reaches Level 4 (indicated by the flashing charge indicator (C)) from Level 5. You will not be able to configure any of the other settings until the battery reaches Level 3 (no charge indicator) after dropping to Level 5.

Leaving the watch in direct sunlight or some other ver y strong light source can cause the battery level indicator to show a reading that is momentarily higher than the actual battery level. The correct battery level indicator should appear after a

• The watch’s Home City code setting will change automatically to TYO (Tokyo) whenever the battery drops to Level 5. With this Home City code setting, the watch is configured to receive the time calibration signals of Japan. If you are using the watch in North America or Europe, you will need to change the Home City code setting to match your location whenever the battery drops to Level 5.

• If you use the illumination or alarms a number of times during a short period, the hands of the watch will stop. Battery Level Indicator will show “R” at this time. Also, the following operations will become disabled until battery power recovers.

Charging Precautions

Certain charging conditions can cause the watch to become very hot. Avoid leaving the watch in the areas described below whenever charging its rechargeable battery. Also note that allowing the watch to become very hot can cause its liquid crystal display to black out. The appearance of the LCD should become normal again when the watch returns to a lower temperature.

Warning! Leaving the watch in bright light to charge its rechargeable battery 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 following conditions for long periods.

• On the dashboard of a car parked in direct sunlight

• Too close to an incandescent lamp

• Under direct sunlight

Charging Guide

After a full charge, timekeeping remains enabled for up to about 7 months.

• The following table shows the amount of time the watch needs to be exposed to light each day in order to generate enough power for normal daily operations.

Exposure Level (Brightness)

Outdoor Sunlight (50,000 lux)

Sunlight Through a Window (10,000 lux)

Daylight Through a Window on a Cloudy Day (5,000 lux)

Indoor Fluorescent Lighting (500 lux)

• Since these are the specs, we can include all the technical details.

• Display on 18 hours per day, sleep state 6 hours per day

• 1 illumination operation (1.5 seconds) per day

• 10 seconds of alarm operation per day

• 10 minutes of signal reception per day

• Stable operation is promoted by frequent exposure to light.

• Wearing the watch inside the sleeve of clothing can cause it to enter the sleep state.

• The watch will not enter the sleep state between 6:00 AM and 9:59 PM. If the watch

is already in the sleep state when 6:00 AM arrives, however, it will remain in the sleep state.

To recover from the sleep state

Perform any one of the following operations.

• Move the watch to a well-lit area.

• Press any button.

Button Operation Tone

In any mode (except when a setting screen is on the display), hold down C for about three seconds to toggle the button operation tone on and off. The button operation tone off indicator (

• Even if the button operation tone is turned off, the daily alarm and countdown timer alarm continue to sound when required.

Auto Return Features

• If you leave the watch in the Alarm or Hand Setting Mode, or with the Battery Level indicator displayed for two or three minutes without performing any operation, it automatically returns to the Timekeeping Mode.

• If you leave the watch with a flashing setting on the display for two or three minutes without performing any operation, the watch automatically exits the setting screen.

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.

Initial Screens

When you enter the World Time Mode, the data you were viewing when you last exited the mode appears first.

Radio-controlled Atomic Timekeeping Precautions

• Strong electrostatic charge can result in the wrong time being set.

• The time calibration signal bounces off the ionosphere. Because of this, such factors

as changes in the reflectivity of the ionosphere, as well as movement of the ionosphere to higher altitudes due to seasonal atmospheric changes or the time of day may change the reception range of the signal and make reception temporarily impossible.

• Even if the time calibration signal is received properly, certain conditions can cause the time setting to be off by up to one second.

• The current time setting in accordance with the time calibration signal takes priority over any time settings you make manually.

• The watch is designed to automatically update the date and day of the week for the period January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2099. Setting of the date by the time calibration signal cannot be performed starting from January 1, 2100.

• This watch can receive signals that differentiate between leap years and non-leap years.

• Though this watch is designed to receive both time data (hour, minutes , seconds)

▲

and date data (year, month, day), certain signal conditions can limit reception to time data only.

• Normally, the signal reception date shown by the Last Signal screen is the date data included in the received time calibration signal. When only time data is received, however, the Last Signal screen shows the date as kept in the Timekeeping Mode at the time of signal reception.

• If you are in an area where proper time calibration signal reception is impossible, the watch keeps time within ±15 seconds a month at normal temperature.

• If you have problems with proper time calibration signal reception or if the time setting is wrong after signal reception, check your current city code, DST (summer time), and auto receive settings.

When turned on, the Power Saving function enters a sleep state automatically whenever the watch is left in an area where it is dark for a certain period. The table below shows how watch functions are affected by the Power Saving function.

Timekeeping

• Resetting the seconds to 00 causes the minutes to be increased by 1. In the range of 00 to 29, the seconds are reset to 00

without changing the minutes.

• The day of the week is automatically displayed in accordance with the date (year, month, and day) settings.

• The year can be set in the range of 2000 to 2099.

• The watch’s built-in full automatic calendar makes allowances for different month

lengths and leap years. Once you set the date, there should be no reason to change it except after you have the watch’s battery replaced or when batter y power drops to Level 5.

• The current time for all city codes in the Timekeeping Mode and World Time Mode is calculated in accordance with the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) differential for each city, based on your Home City time setting.

• The times for the Timekeeping Mode and all the city codes of the World Time Mode are calculated in accordance with each city’s UTC differential.

• 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 “Universal Time Coordinated”, 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.

12-hour/24-hour Timekeeping Formats

The 12-hour/24-hour timekeeping format you select in the Timekeeping Mode is also applied in all other modes.

• With the 12-hour format, the PM indicator (P) appears on the display for times in the range of noon to 11:59 p.m. and no indicator appears for times in the range of midnight to 11:59 a.m.

• With the 24-hour format, times are displayed in the range of 0:00 to 23:59, without any indicator.

Illumination Precautions

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

• Illumination automatically turns off whenever an alarm sounds.

• Frequent use of illumination runs down the battery.
