Operation Guide 5269

ENGLISH

Congratulations upon your selection of this CASIO watch.

• To ensure correct direction readings by this watch, be sure to perform

bidirectional calibration before using it. The watch may produce incorrect direction readings if you do not perform bidirectional calibration. For more information, see “To perform bidirectional calibration” (page E-36).

• Keep the watch away from audio speakers, magnetic necklace, cell phone,

and other devices that generate strong magnetism. Exposure to strong magnetism can magnetize the watch and cause incorrect direction readings. If incorrect readings continue even after you perform bidirectional calibration, it could mean that your watch has been magnetized. If this happens, contact your original retailer or an authorized CASIO Service Center.

Things to check before using the watch

1. Check the Home City and the daylight saving time (DST) setting.

Use the procedure under “Conﬁ guring Home City Settings” (page E-17) to conﬁ gure your Home City and daylight saving time settings.

Important!

Proper World Time Mode, Sunrise/Sunset Mode, and Moon Age Mode data depend on correct Home City, time, and date settings in the Timekeeping Mode. Make sure you conﬁ gure these settings correctly.

2. Conﬁ gure latitude and longitude settings for your current location.

See “To select a Home City by conﬁ guring latitude and longitude settings” (page E-20).

Taking Direction Readings

The watch has a magnetic sensor that makes it possible to take digital compass readings. You can use the digital compass to ﬁ nd the direction to a speciﬁ c objective and to determine your current position.

• See “Magnetic North and True North” (page E-40) for information about the two

types of north. For information about maximizing digital compass accuracy, see “Calibrating Direction Readings” (page E-34) and “Digital Compass Precautions” (page E-40).
