Radio-controlled Atomic Timekeeping

This watch receives a time calibration signal and updates its time setting accordingly.
This watch is designed to pick up the time calibration signals transmitted in Germany (Mainflingen), England (Anthorn), the United States (Fort Collins), China (Shangqiu), and Japan (Fukushima, Fukuoka/Saga).
Current Time Setting
This watch adjusts its time setting automatically in accordance with a time calibration signal. You also can perform a manual procedure to set the time and date, when necessary.
The first thing you should do after purchasing this watch is to specify your Home City (the city where you normally will use the watch). For more information, see “To specify your Home City” below.
When using the watch outside the areas covered by the time signal transmitters, you will have to adjust the current time setting manually as required. See “Timekeeping” for more information about manual time settings.
The U.S. time calibration signal can be picked up by the watch while in North America. The term “North America” in this manual refers to the area that consists of Canada, the continental United States, and Mexico.
As of January 2009, China does not use Daylight Saving Time (DST). If China does go to the Daylight Saving Time system in the future, some functions of this watch may no longer operate correctly when receiving the China time calibration signal.

Normally, your watch should show the correct time as soon as you select your Home City code. If it does not, it should adjust automatically after the next auto receive operation (in the middle of the night). You also can perform manual receive or you can set the time manually.
The watch will receive the time calibration signal automatically from the applicable transmitter (in the middle of the night) and update its settings accordingly. For information about the relationship between city codes and transmitters, see “Important!” under “Time Calibration Signal Reception” and “Transmitters”.
See the maps under “Approximate Reception Ranges” for information about the reception ranges of the watch.
You can disable time signal reception, if you want. See “To turn auto receive on and off” for more information.
Under factory default settings, auto receive is turned off for the following city codes: MOW (Moscow), HNL (Honolulu), and ANC (Anchorage). For details about turning on auto receive for these city codes, see “To turn auto receive on and off”.
Time Calibration Signal Reception
There are two different methods you can use to receive the time calibration signal: auto receive and manual receive.
Auto Receive
With auto receive, the watch receives the time calibration signal automatically up to six times a day (five times a day for the Chinese calibration signal). When any auto receive is successful, the remaining auto receive operations are not performed for that day. For more information, see “About Auto Receive”.
Manual Receive
Manual receive lets you start a time calibration receive operation with the press of a button. For more information, see “To perform manual receive”.

Note
When a calibration time is reached, the watch will receive the calibration signal only if it is in either the Timekeeping Mode or World Time Mode. Reception is not performed if a calibration time is reached while you are configuring settings.
Auto receive of the calibration signal is designed to be performed early in the morning, while you sleep (provided that the Timekeeping Mode time is set correctly). Before going to bed for the night, remove the watch from your wrist, and put it in a location where it can receive the signal easily.
The watch receives the calibration signal for two to seven minutes everyday when the time in the Timekeeping Mode reaches a calibration time. Do not perform any button operation within seven minutes before or after the calibration times. Doing so can interfere with correct calibration.
Remember that reception of the calibration signal depends on the current time in the Timekeeping Mode. The receive operation will be performed whenever the display shows any one of the calibration times, regardless of whether or not the displayed time actually is the correct time.
About the Signal Strength Indicator
The signal strength indicator shows the strength of the calibration signal being received. For best reception, be sure to keep the watch in a location where signal strength is strongest. The signal strength indicator is displayed while an auto or manual receive operation is in progress.
Settings updated indicator
Signal strength indicator
Even in an area where signal strength is strong, it takes about 10 seconds for signal reception to stabilize enough for the signal strength indicator to indicate signal strength.
Use the signal strength indicator as a guide for checking signal strength and for finding the best location for the watch during signal receive operations.
Following reception of the time calibration signal and calibration of the watch’s time setting, the settings updated indicator will remain on the display in all modes. The settings updated indicator will not be displayed if signal reception was unsuccessful or after you adjust the current time setting manually.
The settings updated indicator is displayed only when the watch is able to receive both time and date data successfully. It does not appear when only time data is received.
The settings updated indicator indicates that at least one of the auto calibration signal receive operations was successful. Note, however, that the settings updated indicator disappears from the display each day when the first auto receive operation of the day is performed.

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 even 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 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.

The day of the week is displayed automatically in accordance with the date (year, month, and day) settings.
12-hour and 24-hour timekeeping
With the 12-hour format, the P (PM) indicator appears to the left of the hour digits for times in the range of noon to 11:59 p.m. and no indicator appears to the left of the hour digits 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 12-hour/24-hour timekeeping format you select in the Timekeeping Mode is applied in all other modes.
Daylight Saving Time (DST)
Daylight Saving Time (summer time) advances the time setting by one hour from Standard Time. Remember that not all countries or even local areas use Daylight Saving Time. The time calibration signals transmitted from Mainflingen (Germany), Anthorn (England), or Fort Collins (the United States) include both Standard Time and DST data. When the Auto DST setting is turned on, the watch switches between Standard
Time and DST (summer time) automatically in accordance with the signals.
Though the time calibration signals transmitted by the Fukushima and Fukuoka/ Saga, Japan transmitters include summer time data, summer time currently is not implemented in Japan (as of 2008).

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 Moons transit over a meridian and the lunitidal interval. The Tide Graph calculates and graphically represents current tide conditions in your Home City or a port city in the vicinity of the Home City 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.
Tide Name Graph Description
Spring Tide
Intermediate Tide
Neap Tide
The Tide Graph flashes as shown below to indicate the tide range.
The segments on either end of the Tide Graph flash during high tide.
The Moon phase indicator of this watch indicates the current phase of the Moon as shown below. It is based on the view of the left side of the moon at meridian transit from the northern hemisphere of the Earth. If the appearance of the Moon phase indicator is reversed from the actual Moon as viewed from your location, you can use the procedure under To reverse the displayed Moon phase to change the indicator.

Radio-controlled Atomic Timekeeping Precautions
Strong electrostatic charge can result in the wrong time being set.
The time calibration signal bounces off the ionosphere. Because of this, such factors
as changes in the reflectivity of the ionosphere, as well as movement of the ionosphere to higher altitudes due to seasonal atmospheric changes or the time of day may change the reception range of the signal and make reception temporarily impossible.
Even if the time calibration signal is received properly, certain conditions can cause the time setting to be off by up to one second.
The current time setting in accordance with the time calibration signal takes priority over any time settings you make manually.
The watch is designed to update the date and day of the week automatically for the period January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2099. Setting of the date by the time calibration signal cannot be performed starting from January 1, 2100.
This watch can receive signals that differentiate between leap years and non-leap years.
Though this watch is designed to receive both time data (hour, minutes, seconds) and date data (year, month, day), certain signal conditions can limit reception to time data only.
If you are in an area where proper time calibration signal reception is impossible, the watch keeps the time with the precision noted in “Specifications”.
If you have problems with proper time calibration signal reception or if the time setting is wrong after signal reception, check your current city code, DST (summer time), and auto receive settings.
The Home City setting reverts to the initial default of battery power level drops to Level 5 or when you have the rechargeable battery replaced. If this happens, change the Home City to the setting you want.
Transmitters
The time calibration signal received by this watch depends on the currently selected Home City code.
When a U.S. time zone is selected, the watch receives the time calibration signal transmitted from the United States (Fort Collins).
When a Japanese time zone is selected, the watch receives the time calibration signals transmitted from Japan (Fukushima and Fukuoka/Saga).
When a European time zone is selected, the watch receives the time calibration signals transmitted from Germany (Mainflingen) and England (Anthorn).
When a China time zone is selected, the watch receives the time calibration signal transmitted from China (Shangqiu City).
• When your Home City is LIS, LON, MAD, PAR , ROM, BER, STO, AT H, or MOW (which can receive both the Anthorn and Mainflingen signals), the watch first tries to pick up the signal it last successfully received. If that fails, it tries the other signal. For the first receive after you select your Home City, the watch tries the nearest signal first (Anthorn for LIS, LON, Mainflingen for MAD, PAR, ROM, BER, STO, ATH, and MOW).
The button operation tone sounds any time you press one of the watchs buttons. You can turn the button operation tone on or off as desired.
Even if you turn off the button operation tone, alarms, the Hourly Time Signal, and other beepers all operate normally.

Operation Guide 3184
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.
The watch returns to the Timekeeping Mode automatically if you do not perform any button operation for two or three minutes in the Alarm Mode and Tide/Moon Data Mode.
Scrolling
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 watchs 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 when battery power drops to Level 5.
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 while the auto light switch is enabled. 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, disable 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.
