Charging the Watch

x While wearing the watch, take care so your sleeve does not block its face

(solar panel) from light. Charging efﬁ ciency may be reduced if the face (solar panel) is blocked from light, even partially.

x When you are not wearing the watch, leave it where its face (solar panel) is

exposed to bright light for charging.

x To help ensure stable operation, expose the face of the watch to about a half

day of direct sunlight each week to charge it.

Caution

x The case of the watch may become extremely hot when charging. Guard against burn injury.

Important!

x If the watch is not exposed to light for long periods, it will disable some functions and eventually stop

timekeeping.

x The second hand will jump at two-second or ﬁ ve-second intervals to indicate that battery power is low,

and stop completely when the battery is dead. Note that the watch also has a power saving function. For details, see the Operation Guide available at the CASIO website.

Timekeeping (Current Time and Day Adjustment)

After purchasing the watch, perform the procedure under “Acquiring GPS Position Information”

●

(page E-9).

To set the current time and day, normally use the procedure under “Time Calibration Signal Auto

●

Receive” (page E-13). In areas where a time calibration signal cannot be received for some reason, set the current time and day using the procedure under “GPS Signal Auto Receive” (page E-11).

x Late night (between midnight and 5:00 a.m.): The receive operation starts at regular intervals until

x Daytime (between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.): The receive operation will start automatically when

x Once a time calibration or GPS signal receive operation is successful, no more Auto Receive

operations are performed that day.

If the current time setting is not correct, perform the procedure under “Receiving GPS Time

●

Information” (page E-10).

If you move into another time zone, perform the procedure under “Acquiring GPS Position

●

Information”. Next, perform one of the procedures under “Time Calibration Signal Auto Receive”, “GPS Signal Auto Receive”, or “Receiving GPS Time Information” to set the current time and day.

x GPS and time calibration signal reception is not possible when the watch’s temperature is less

than approximately –10°C (14°F) or greater than approximately 60°C (140°F).

x If timekeeping stops, you will need to expose the watch to light for anumber of hours before it will

restart.

x The watch will not charge if its temperature is –10°C (14°F ) or lower, or around 60°C (140°F ) or

higher.

x If the watch is not charged for more than about three months after it stops running due to low power,

over-discharge will occur, which may make recharging impossible.

E-5

x Even if you are unable to perform a GPS signal and/or time calibration signal receive operation for

some reason, the watch will keep time with average monthly accuracy of ±15 seconds.

Important!

x If the current time and day setting is wrong after you perform one of the procedures under “Time

Calibration Signal Auto Receive”, “GPS Signal Auto Receive”, or “Receiving GPS Time Information”, try acquiring position information (GPS) and then perform the time/day setting procedure again.

x If you feel that the current time and/or day indicator are not in the correct positions, you can adjust

their alignment. For details, see the Operation Guide available at the CASIO website.

x Time calibration signal reception is normally possible in the areas below.

Japan, China, North America, Europe For details, see the Operation Guide available at the CASIO website.
