Tide/Moon Data

In the Tide/Moon Data Mode, you can see the tide for the tide site you selected at specified time and the current date’s moon phase for your Home City. You can specify a date and view tide and moon data for that date.
See “Moon Phase Indicator” for information about the moon phase indicator and “Tide Graph” for information about the tide graph.
All of the operations in this section are performed in the Tide/Moon Data Mode.
Note
It takes about two seconds to calculate tide graph data. You will not be able to display a setting screen while data calculation is in progress.
Moon age is calculated to an accuracy of ±1 day.
You can view the current tide and moon age graph in the Timekeeping Mode.
Tide Data
The Tide Graph that appears first when you enter the Tide/Moon Data Mode shows the data at 6:00 a.m. for your currently selected tide site on the current date, according to the Timekeeping Mode. From there you can specify another time on the same date.
If the tide data is not correct, check your Timekeeping Mode settings and correct them if necessary. See “To configure tide site settings” for more information.
If you feel that the information shown by the Tide Graph is different from actual tide conditions, you need to adjust the high tide time. See “Adjusting the High Tide Time” for more information.
Moon Data
The moon phase and moon age information that appears first when you enter the Tide/Moon Data Mode shows the data at noon for your currently selected Home City on the current date, according to the Timekeeping Mode. After that you can specify another date to view data.
If the moon data is not correct, check your Timekeeping Mode settings and correct them if necessary.
If the moon phase indicator shows a phase that is a mirror image of the actual moon phase in your area, you can use the procedure under “Reversing the Displayed Moon Phase” to change it.
Tide/Moon Data Screens
In the Tide/Moon Data Mode, press A to toggle between the tide data screen and the moon data screen.

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 turn on the backlight under bright light.
Moving the watch to a position that is parallel to the ground and then tilting it towards you 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
••
display of 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 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 the Timekeeping Mode, hold down B for about three seconds to toggle the auto light switch on (auto light switch on indicator displayed) and off (auto light switch on indicator not displayed).
The auto light switch on indicator is on the display in all modes while the auto light switch is turned on.
This watch has an EL (electro-luminescent) panel that causes the entire display to glow for easy reading in the dark. The watch’s auto light switch turns on illumination automatically when you angle the watch towards your face.
The auto light switch must be turned on (indicated by the auto light switch on indicator) for it to operate.
See “Illumination Precautions” for other important information about using illumination.

Power Supply

This watch is equipped with a solar cell and a rechargeable 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. Be sure that the watch is exposed to bright light whenever possible.
This watch uses a 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 rechargeable battery to charge fully, contact your dealer or CASIO distributor about having it replaced.
Never try to remove or replace the watch’s rechargeable battery yourself. Use of the wrong type of battery can damage the watch.
All data stored in memory is deleted, and 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.

Battery power indicator
The flashing LOW indicator at Level 3 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. Once the battery reaches Level 2 after falling to Level 5, reconfigure the current time, date, and other settings.
The watch’s Home City code setting will change automatically to TYO (Tokyo) whenever the battery drops to Level 5.
Display indicators reappear as soon as the battery is charged from Level 5 to Level 2.
Leaving the watch exposed to direct sunlight or some other very strong light source can cause the battery power indicator to show a reading temporarily that is higher than the actual battery level. The correct battery level should be indicated after a few minutes.
Recover indicator
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

Tide Site Name

Selecting the Tide Site Name
The tide site names you can select depend on your current Home City setting.
Select tide site names in the Timekeeping Mode.
After configuring the settings for your Home City, press A once to display the tide
site name selection screen.
Note that the tide sites you can select are those located in the same time zone as your Home City. They are not necessarily located near your Home City.

Setting an accurate high tide time will allow the watch to produce accurate tide readings. Especially when “USER” is selected as the site, make sure that you input an accurate high tide time.
Only a “USER” site can be selected while UTC is selected as the Home City.
1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down A for about two
seconds until the city code starts to flash. This is the setting screen.
The watch will exit the setting screen automatically if you do not perform any operation for about two or three minutes.
2. Press A once to display the tide site name selection
screen.

Tidal Movements
Tides are the periodic rise and fall of the water of oceans, seas, bays, and other bodies of water caused mainly by the gravitational interactions between the Earth, Moon and Sun. Tides rise and fall about every six hours. The Tide Graph of this watch indicates tidal movement based on the Moon’s transit over a meridian and the lunitidal interval. The Tide Graph calculates and graphically represents current tide conditions in your currently selected site or USER site based on longitudes, lunar day length, and lunitidal interval preset in watch memory, and on high tide times specified by you.
Tide Graph
The Tide Graph graphically represents the current tide condition using one of three patterns that represent spring tide, intermediate tide, and neap tide, as shown below.

The segments on either end of the Tide Graph flash during high tide.
Lunitidal Interval
Theoretically, high tide is at the moon’s transit over the meridian and low tide is about six hours later. Actual high tide occurs somewhat later, due to factors such as viscosity, friction, and underwater topography. Both the time differential between the moon’s transit over the meridian until high tide and the time differential between the moon’s transit over the meridian until low tide are known as the “lunitidal interval”. Tides data is calculated using the lunitidal intervals preset for each site.

Auto Return
If you do not perform any operation for about two or three minutes while a setting screen (with a flashing setting) is on the display, the watch will exit the setting screen automatically.
Scrolling
The B and D are used in various modes and setting screens to scroll through data on the display. In most cases, holding down these buttons during a scroll operation scrolls at high speed.
Initial Screens
When you enter the World Time Mode or Alarm Mode, the data you were viewing when you last exited the mode appears first.
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.
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.
The current time for all city codes in the Timekeeping Mode and World Time Mode is calculated in accordance with the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) for each city, based on your Home City time setting.
World Time
The seconds count of the World Time is synchronized with the seconds count of the Timekeeping Mode.
Illumination Precautions
The electro-luminescent panel that provides illumination loses power after very long use.
Illumination may be difficult 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
Avoid wearing the watch on the inside of your wrist. Doing so causes the auto light switch to operate when it is not needed, which shortens battery life. If you want to wear the watch on the inside of your wrist, turn off the auto light switch feature.
More than 15 degrees too high
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 toward you again. If this does not work, drop your arm all the way down so it hangs at your side, and then bring it back up again.
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.
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 a preset amount of time (1.5 or 3 seconds), even if you keep the watch pointed towards your face.
