ENGLISH

Congratulations upon your selection of this CASIO watch.

Warning!

The measurement functions built into this watch are not intended for taking measurements that require professional or industrial precision. Values produced by this watch should be considered as reasonable representations only.

Note that CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD. assumes no responsibility for any damage or loss suffered by you or any third party arising through the use of this product or its malfunction.

E-1

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.

Hand Home Position Adjustment

The hour, minute, and second hands of this watch can be put out of position by strong magnetism or strong impact. When this happens, you can use the procedure below to adjust the hand positions.

To adjust home positions

 

Second hand

1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down A for at least

four seconds until HAND SET appears on the digital

 

display. This is the setting mode. Release A after

 

HAND SET appears.

 

This will cause SEC 00 to flash on the digital

 

display, indicating the second hand adjustment

 

mode.

Hour and minute hands

Correct hour and minute hand positions

2.Check the position of the second hand.

If the second hand is pointing to 12 o’clock, it is in the correct home position. If it isn’t, use D (forward) and B (back) to adjust the second hand position so it points to 12 o’clock.

Holding down either button will cause the second hand to move at high speed.

3.Press C. This will cause 0:00 to flash on the digital display, indicating the hour and minute adjustment mode.

4.Check the positions of the hour and minute hands.

The hands are in the correct home positions if they are pointing to 12 o’clock. If they aren’t, use D (forward) and B (back) to adjust their positions.

Holding down either button will cause the hour and minute hands to move at high speed.

5.Press A to exit the setting screen.

This will cause the hour and minute hands to move to the current Timekeeping Mode time.

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 find the direction to a specific 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).
