Getting Acquainted

Congratulations upon your selection of this CASIO watch. To get the most out of your purchase, be sure to read this manual carefully.

This watch does not have a time zone that corresponds to the Greenwich Mean Time differential of –3.5 hours. Because of this, the radio-controlled timekeeping and World Time functions will not display the correct time for Newfoundland, Canada.

Keep the watch exposed to bright light

The electricity generated by the solar cell of the watch is

 

 

 

 

stored by a built-in battery. Leaving or using the watch where

it is not exposed to light causes the battery to run down.

 

 

Make sure the watch is exposed to light as much as possible.

When you are not wearing the watch on your wrist,

position the face so it is pointed at a source of bright light.

 

 

You should try to keep the watch outside of your sleeve

 

as much as possible. Charging is reduced significantly if

 

the face is only partially covered.

The watch continues to operate, even when it is not exposed to light. Leaving the watch in the dark can cause the battery to run down, which will cause some watch functions to be disabled. If the battery goes dead, you will have to re-configure watch settings after recharging. To ensure normal watch operation, be sure to keep it exposed to light as much as possible.

The actual level at which some functions are disabled depends on the watch model.

Frequent display illumination can run down the battery quickly and require charging. The following guidelines give an idea of the charging time required to recover from a single illumination operation.

Approximately five minutes exposure to bright sunlight coming in through a window Approximately 50 minutes exposure to indoor fluorescent lighting

Be sure to read “Power Supply” for important information you need to know when exposing the watch to bright light.

This watch receives a time calibration signal and updates its time setting accordingly. The time calibration signal includes both Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time (summer time) data.

This watch is designed to pick up the time calibration signal transmitted from Fort Collins, Colorado (USA). Reception is possible within North America*.

*The term “North America” in this User’s Guide refers to the area that consists of Canada, the continental United States, and Mexico.

Current Time Setting

This watch adjusts its time setting automatically in accordance with a time calibration signal. You can also perform a manual procedure to set the time and date, when necessary.

Important!

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 can also perform manual receive or you can set the time manually.

If you are in an area that does not use Daylight Saving Time (summer time), turn off the DST setting.

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 picks up the time calibration signal automatically five

times a day at midnight, 1:00 a.m., 2:00 a.m., 3:00 a.m., and 4:00 a.m. For more

information, see “About Auto Receive”.

Manual Receive

The first thing you should do after purchasing this watch is to set your Home City, which is the city where you normally will use the watch. For more information, see “To set your Home City” below.

When using the watch outside of the range of the transmitter in Fort Collins, you need to adjust the time manually as required. See “Timekeeping” for information about manual settings.
