Getting Acquainted

Congratulations upon your selection of this CASIO watch. To get the most out of your purchase, be sure to carefully read this manual and keep it on hand for later reference when necessary.

Important!

The fishing/hunting time data, sunrise and sunset data, 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 such data.

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

• Note that the fishing/hunting time data, sunrise and sunset data, and moon phase indicator are all based on calculated values. They are provided only for reference purposes.

• See the “Timekeeping” section of this manual for information about setting the current time and date, and about specifying your Home Site.

Pressing A again exits the setting screen.

• When you exit the setting screen after changing the current time and/or date setting,

the graphic area around the periphery of the display performs an animated pattern to indicate that the watch is performing internal calculations. This process can continue for as long as 15 seconds. Wait until the animated pattern stops before performing any other button operation.

• The day of the week is automatically displayed in accordance with the date (year,

month, and day) settings.

Home Site Data

Moon phase indicator, fishing/hunting time data, and sunrise and sunset data will not be displayed properly unless Home Site data (GMT differential, latitude, and longitude) is configured correctly.

• The GMT differential is a value that indicates the time difference between Greenwich

Mean Time and the time zone where a city is located.

• Note that you must add one hour to the current time setting and the GMT differential

of your time zone whenever you change to Daylight Saving Time (summer time). Subtract one hour when you change back to Standard Time.

• The “Site Data List” provides GMT differential, latitude, and longitude information

around the world.

To configure Home Site data

Use the Timekeeping Mode to set and view the current time, date, and your Home Site.

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

• The graphic area that runs around the periphery of the display indicates fishing/hunting times, as well as daylight and nighttime hours.

Important!

Be sure to correctly configure the current time and date, and your Home Site data (data for the site where you use the watch) before using the functions of this watch.

• See “Home Site Data” about specifying your Home Site.

Date (Year Month – Day)

Time (Hour : Minutes)

Your watch provides you with information about favorable fishing/hunting times and other data (Moon phase and age) at your Home Site for a particular date. You can even configure a fishing/hunting alarm that alerts you when a favorable fishing/hunting time has been reached.

• The fishing/hunting times shown by your watch are the

times when the moon is at its highest point (upper transit), lowest point (lower transit), furthest point the east (east transit), and furthest point to the west (west transit) of your Home Site. These are favorable times for fishing and hunting.

• For more details about the fishing/hunting times, see

“Fishing/Hunting Time Calculation”.

• See “Moon Phase Indicator” for information about the

Moon phase indicator.

Fishing/Hunting Time Alarm

While the fishing/hunting time alarm is turned on, the watch performs a beeper or vibrator alert operation for about five seconds whenever a favorable fishing/hunting period is approached.

• The fishing/hunting alert operation is performed the first time the watch minutes reach 00 or 30 after a favorable fishing/hunting period is entered.

• To stop an alert operation, press any button.

• For full details about the alert operation, see “Selecting the Alert Type”.

• Note that the fishing/hunting time alarm is disabled when any one of the following

conditions exists.

Selecting the Alert Type

You can select either beeper or vibrator as the alert for the fishing/hunting time alarm, daily alarm, weekly alarm, and Hourly Time Signal.

• Nearby very magnetic force can cause the watch’s vibration alert to become weak or even fail to operate entirely.

• The fishing/hunting time graph indicates favorable periods using segments, each of which represents 30 minutes.

• The upper transit and the lower transit periods extend from the point one hour prior to the transit up to the point one hour after the transit. The east and west transit periods extend from the point 30 minutes prior to the transit up to the point 30 minutes after the transit.

• The fishing/hunting times and graph are refreshed at midnight each day.

• If you suspect that a fishing/hunting time is not correct for some reason, check the Timekeeping Mode data (current time, date, and Home Site settings), and make changes as required.

In the Fishing/Hunting Time Mode, use E (+) and B (–) to display the date whose fishing/hunting time, Moon phase, and Moon age you want to view.

• Displaying a different date causes an animated pattern to play in the graphic area, indicating that the watch is performing internal calculations. This process can continue for as long as 15 seconds. Wait until the animated pattern stops before performing any other button operation.

• You can select any date from 2000 to 2039.

reason, check the Timekeeping Mode data (current

time, date, and Home Site settings), and make changes as required. If the daylight graph does not appear, it could indicate a problem with the GMT differential or longitude setting.

• The sunrise and sunset times displayed by this watch are times at sea level. Sunrise and sunset times are different at altitudes other than sea level.

• Normally, actual sunrise and sunset times change very little from day to day. Sometimes, however, the watch may show a change of as much as five minutes from one day to the next. Note that this is because the watch calculates sunrise and sunset times, and then rounds the result to the nearest five minutes. It does not indicate malfunction of the watch.

• Sunrise and sunset time calculations are accurate within about five minutes. At north or south latitudes greater than 50 degrees, however, accuracy is within about 10 minutes.

Time Memo

The Time Memo feature of your watch lets you create up to 40 time memos, each of which includes a memo number, as well as the time, date, Moon phase indicator, and the fishing/hunting level indicator at the point when the time memo is recorded. You can create time memos to keep track of how many fish you catch or how much game you bag, as well at the date, time, and Moon phase. Time memos are automatically sorted chronologically on their date and time fields. You can recall time memos by scrolling through them on the display.

• You can create a time memo while in any mode. However, you cannot create a time memo while a setting screen is on the display.

• Use the Recall Mode to recall and delete time memos.

• Each memo date shows the month and day only.
