Congratulations upon your selection of this CASIO watch. To get the most out of your purchase, be sure to read this manual carefully.

Keep the watch exposed to bright light

Bright light

Solar cell

• The watch continues to operate, even when it is not exposed to light. Leaving the watch in the dark can cause the battery to run down, which will cause some watch functions to be disabled. If the battery goes dead, you will have to re-configure watch settings after recharging. To ensure normal watch operation, be sure to keep it exposed to light as much as possible.

Battery charges in the light. Battery discharges in the dark.

Solar cell (Converts light to electrical power.)

• The actual level at which some functions are disabled depends on the watch model.

• Frequent display illumination can run down the battery quickly and require charging.

The following guidelines give an idea of the charging time required to recover from a single illumination operation.

Approximately five minutes exposure to bright sunlight coming in through a window

Approximately 50 minutes exposure to indoor fluorescent lighting

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

The electricity generated by the solar cell of the watch is

stored by a built-in battery. Leaving or using the watch

where it is not exposed to light causes the battery to run down. Make sure the watch is exposed to light as much as possible.

• When you are not wearing the watch on your wrist, position the face so it is pointed at a source of bright light.

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

When you display the Temperature screen in the Timekeeping Mode, the watch starts taking automatic temperature readings at an interval of approximately two minutes.

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

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

• The display range of the temperature 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.

Tide Graph and Moon Phase Indicator

• The tide graph shows tidal movements for the current date in accordance with the current time as kept in the Timekeeping Mode.

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

• Because the watch needs to read certain data, it takes about 40 seconds before the graph appears. The Moon phase indicator flashes while the watch is reading data.

Important!

• Moon phase indicator and tide graph data will not be displayed properly unless the Timekeeping Mode current date and time settings and Home Site data are configured correctly. See “Home Site Data” for more information.

Home Site Data

Note that tide graph data and the Moon phase indicator will not show the correct information unless your Home Site (city code and area) is specified correctly. World Time Mode times are all calculated based on the Home Site time and date setting in the Timekeeping Mode.

• First select the city code for your Home Site and specify the UTC differential. Next, specify the area that is nearest the location where you will be using the watch. Areas are preset with the names of coastal areas that match the city code and UTC differential you specify.

• The UTC differential indicates the time differential with Greenwich, England.

• 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 following is the initial factory default Home Site data (Tokyo, Japan) when you first purchase the watch and whenever you have the battery replaced. Change these settings to match the area where you normally use the watch.

Configuring Countdown Timer Settings

The following are the settings you should configure before actually using the countdown timer.

Countdown start time and reset time Timer type (auto-repeat, elapsed time)

• See “To configure countdown timer settings” for information about setting up the timer.

Reset Time

You can set a “reset time”, which is a kind of alternate countdown start time you can recall with the press of a button any time a countdown operation is in progress.

Timer Type

The countdown timer gives you a choice of two types of timer: auto-repeat and elapsed time.

Auto-repeat

Auto-repeat automatically restarts the countdown from the countdown start time whenever zero is reached.

• Auto-repeat is best when timing the starts of match races.

• Even if you start a countdown operation from the reset time, the countdown restarts

automatically from the countdown start time whenever it reaches zero.

• Auto repeat timing repeats up to seven times.

Elapsed Time

When the elapsed time timer reaches the end of the countdown, it switches to an elapsed time measurement operation automatically.

• The elapsed time timer is best when timing the speed of yachts during ocean races.

• The elapsed time operation is performed in one-second increments up to 99 hours,

59 minutes, 59 seconds.

Countdown Timer Beeper Operations

The watch beeps at various times during a countdown so you can keep informed about the countdown status without looking at the display. The following describes the types of beeper operations the watch performs during a countdown.

Countdown End Beeper

The watch beeps each second of the final 10 seconds before a countdown reaches zero, and at zero. The first five beeps (seconds 10 through 6) are higher pitched than the final five beeps (seconds 5 through 1). The watch emits a longer beep to signal when the countdown reaches zero.

Progress Beeper

The progress beeper actually includes two beepers: a reset time beeper and a reset period progress beeper.

Reset Time Beeper

The reset time beeper is similar to the countdown end beeper. The watch beeps each second of the final 10 seconds before the countdown reaches the reset time.

Reset Period Progress Beeper

The reset period is the portion of the countdown between the reset time and zero. While timing is the reset period, the watch will beep four times at the top of each minute and 30 seconds before the end of the countdown.

Countdown Timer Examples

Reset Time Beeper

The countdown timer can be set within a range of one minute to 60 minutes. An alarm sounds when the countdown reaches zero. The countdown timer has two modes: auto-repeat and elapsed time, and a progress beeper signals the progress of the countdown. All of this makes the countdown timer a valuable tool for timing the start of a yacht race.

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

Illumination

The watch has an EL (electro-luminescent) panel that

Auto light switch indicator

About the Auto Light Switch

Turning on the auto light switch causes illumination to turn on whenever you position your wrist as described below in any mode. Note that this watch features a “Full Auto EL Light,” so the auto light switch operates only when available light is below a certain level. It does not illuminate the display under bright light.

Moving the watch to a position that is parallel to the ground and then tilting it towards you at more than 40 degrees causes illumination to turn on.

• Wear the watch on the outside of your wrist.

Warning!

• Always make sure you are in a safe place whenever you are reading the watch using the auto light switch. Be especially careful when running or engaged in any other activity that can result in accident or injury. Also take care that sudden illumination by the auto light switch does not startle or distract others around you.

• When you are wearing the watch, make sure that its auto light switch is turned off before riding on a bicycle, or operating a motorcycle or any other motor vehicle. Sudden and unintended operation of the auto light switch can create a distraction, which can result in a traffic accident and serious personal injury.

To turn the auto light switch on and off

In any mode (except when a setting screen is on the display), hold down B for about two seconds to toggle the auto light switch on (auto light switch indicator displayed) and off (auto light switch indicator not displayed).

• The auto light switch indicator remains in all modes while the auto light switch is turned on.

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 covered only partially.

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 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.

Solar cell

Battery Power Indicator and Recover Indicator

The battery power indicator shows you the current power level of the rechargeable battery.

Battery power indicator

Recover indicator

• The charge indicator (CHG) at Level 4 tells 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 3 (indicated by the flashing L indicator) from Level 5. You will not be able to configure any of the other settings until the battery reaches Level 2 (no charge indicator) after dropping to Level 5.

•

Leaving the watch in direct sunlight or exposed to some other very strong light source can cause the battery power indicator to show a reading that is momentar ily higher than the actual battery level. The correct battery power indicator should appear after a few minutes.

• If you use the light or alarms a number of times during a short period, the recover indicator (RECOV) appears and the following operations become disabled until battery power recovers.

Illumination Beeper tone

After some time, battery power will recover and the recover indicator will disappear, indicating that the above functions are enabled again.

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 eight 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.

• Watch is not exposed to light

• 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 every other day

• Stable operation is promoted by frequent charging.

Recovery Times

The table below shows the amount exposure that is required to take the battery from one level to the next.

• 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.

Tide Graph

The tide graph shows the relative rise and fall of the water level from the average level.

• The vertical axis of the graph represents level differential (1 dot = 0.2 meters), while the horizontal axis represents time (1 dot = 1 hour).

Water level A

Average water level and its differential

Water level B

• Periods when the differential from the average water level exceeds three meters are not shown on the graph.

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.

Temperature Sensor Calibration

The temperature sensor built into the watch is calibrated at the factory and normally requires no further adjustment. If you notice serious errors in the temperature readings produced by the watch, you can calibrate the sensor to correct the errors.

Important!

Incorrectly calibrating the temperature sensor can result in incorrect readings. Carefully read the following before doing anything.

Compare the readings produced by the watch with those of another reliable and

•

accurate thermometer.

•

If adjustment is required, remove the watch from your wrist and wait for 20 or 30 minutes to give the temperature of the watch time to stabilize.

To calibrate the temperature sensor

Calibration value

• Temperature sensor calibration will not be possible if the current reading is outside the allowable display range (–10.0°C/14.0°F to 60.0°C/140.0°F) and the calibration value shows ‘‘- -’’.

4. After configuring the setting you want, press A twice to exit the setting screen.

To specify the temperature display unit

Temperature unit

1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down A until the city

code starts to flash, which indicates the setting screen.

2. Press A one more time to display the temperature

sensor calibration screen.

3. Use D (+) and B (–) to change the calibration value.

• You can change the value in 0.1°C (0.2°F) steps, in a range of ±10°C (±18°F). The calibration value shows ‘‘--.-’’ when the setting is outside the allowable range.

1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down A until the city

code starts to flash, which indicates the setting screen.

2. Press A one more time.

3. Press C once to display the temperature unit setting

screen.

4. Use D to switch between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit

(°F).

• The initial factory default and the initial default after battery replacement is Celsius (°C).

5. After configuring the setting you want, press A twice to exit the setting screen.

Timekeeping

• Resetting the seconds to 00 while the current count is in the range of 30 to 59

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.

• With the 12-hour format, the P (PM) indicator 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.

• 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 battery power drops to Level 5.

World Time

• The seconds count of the World Time is synchronized with the seconds count of the Timekeeping Mode.

• All World Time Mode times are calculated from the current time in the Timekeeping Mode using UTC time differential values.

Illumination Precautions

• The electro-luminescent panel that provides illumination loses power after very long use.

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

• The watch may emit an audible sound whenever the display is illuminated. This is

due to vibration of the EL panel used for illumination, and does not indicate malfunction.

• Illumination turns off automatically whenever an alarm sounds.

• Frequent use of illumination runs down the battery.

Auto light switch precautions

• The auto light switch will not turn on illumination during about the first 40 seconds (until the tide graph and Moon phase indicator appear) after you enter the Timekeeping Mode or Tide/Moon Data Mode. This is because the watch is reading data required to display the tide graph and Moon phase indicator.

• The auto light switch is turned off automatically whenever battery power is at Level 4.

• Wearing the watch on the inside of your wrist, movement of your arm, or vibration of

your arm can cause frequent activation of the auto light switch and illumination of the display. To avoid running down the battery, turn off the auto light switch whenever engaging in activities that might cause frequent illumination.

• Note that wearing the watch under your sleeve while the auto light switch is turned on can cause frequent illumination of the display and can run down the battery.

• Illumination may not turn on if the face of the watch is more than 15 degrees above or below parallel. Make sure that the back of your hand is parallel to the ground.

• Illumination turns off after the preset illumination duration (see “To specify the illumination duration”), even if you keep the watch pointed towards your face.

• Static electricity or magnetic force can interfere with proper operation of the auto light switch. If illumination does not turn on, try moving the watch back to the starting position (parallel with the ground) and then tilt it back towards you again. If this does not work, drop your arm all the way down so it hangs at your side, and then

• Under certain conditions, illumination may not turn on until about one second after you turn the face of the watch towards you. This does not necessarily indicate malfunction of the auto light switch.

• You may notice a very faint clicking sound coming from the watch when it is shaken back and forth. This sound is caused by mechanical operation of the auto light switch, and does not indicate a problem with the watch.
