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.

• This watch does not have a time zone that corresponds to the Greenwich Mean Time differential of –3.5 hours. Because of this, the radio-controlled timekeeping and World Time functions will not display the correct time for Newfoundland, Canada.

Expose the watch to bright light to charge its battery before using it.

You can use this watch even as its battery is being charged by exposure to bright light.

• Be sure to read “Power Supply” for important information you need to know when exposing the watch to bright light.

This watch receives a time calibration signal and updates its time setting accordingly. The time calibration signal includes both Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time (summer time) data.

• This watch is designed to pick up the time calibration signal transmitted in the United States (Fort Collins, Colorado).

• The U.S. time calibration signal can be picked up by the watch while in North America

The term “North America” in this manual refers to the

area that consists of Canada, the continental United States, and Mexico.

Time Calibration Signal Reception

There are two different methods you can use to receive the time calibration signal:

auto receive

• Auto Receive

With auto receive, the watch automatically picks up the time calibration signal four times a day at midnight, 2:00 a.m., 3:00 a.m., and 4:00 a.m. For more information, see “About Auto Receive”.

• Manual Receive

Manual receive lets you start a time calibration signal reception 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.

• The watch should not be on its side or facing the wrong way.

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

Inside or among buildings

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

• Time calibration signal reception takes from two to six minutes. Take care that you

do not perform any button operations or move the watch during this time.

Reception Range

2,000 miles

About Auto Receive

When auto receive is turned on, the watch automatically starts to receive the time calibration signal when the time in the Timekeeping Mode reaches 0:00 a.m., 2:00 a.m., 3:00 a.m., and 4:00 a.m. each day (calibration times). The watch will also perform an additional auto receive at 5:00 a.m. if none of the regularly scheduled auto receive operations are successful.

Note

• Auto receive is turned on whenever Home City code. You can also turn auto receive on and off manually. See “To turn auto receive on and off” for more information.

• Auto receive is performed only if the watch is in the Timekeeping Mode or World Time Mode when one of the calibration times is reached. It is not performed if a calibration time is reached while an alarm is sounding, or while you are configuring settings (while settings are flashing on the display).

• Auto receipt 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 easily receive the signal.

• When auto receive is turned on, the watch receives the calibration signal for two to six minutes everyday when the time in the Timekeeping Mode reaches each of the calibration times. Do not perform any button operation within six 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 shown on the digital display. The receive operation will be performed whenever the display shows any one of the calibration times, regardless of whether or not the displayed time is actually the correct time.

• When two, three, or four receptions are successful, the watch uses the data of the last reception for calibration. When only one reception is successful, the watch uses the data of the successful reception.

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.

• 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.

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