Getting Acquainted

Congratulations upon your selection of this CASIO watch. To get the most out of your purchase, be sure to carefully read this manual and keep it on hand for later reference when necessary.

Expose the watch to bright light to charge its battery before using it.

You can use this watch even as its battery is being charged by exposure to bright light.

Be sure to read “Battery” of this manual for important information you need to know when exposing the watch to bright light.

If the display of the watch is blank...

If the SLEEP indicator is on the display, it means that the display is blank because the watch’s Power Saving function has turned off the display to conserve power. Power Saving automatically turns off the display and enters a sleep state whenever your watch is left for a certain period where it is dark.

The initial factory default setting is Power Saving on.

The watch recovers from the sleep state if you move it to

a well-lit area*, if you press any button, or if you angle the watch towards your face for reading.

*It can take up to five seconds for the display to turn on.

See “Power Saving Function” for more information.

Countdown Timer

Minutes

Seconds The countdown timer can be set within a range of one

 

 

minute to 60 minutes. An alarm sounds when the

 

 

countdown reaches zero. The countdown timer has two

 

 

modes: auto-repeat and elapsed time, and a progress

 

 

beeper signals the progress of the countdown. All of this

 

 

makes the countdown timer a valuable tool for timing the

 

 

start of a yacht race.

Mode time

C.

Reset Time

You can set a “reset time”, which is a kind of alternate countdown start time you can recall with the press of a button any time a countdown operation is in progress.

Timer Mode

The countdown timer gives you a choice of two modes: auto-repeat and elapsed time.

Auto-repeat

The auto-repeat mode automatically restarts the countdown from the countdown start time you set whenever zero is reached.

The auto-repeat mode is best when timing the starts of match races.

Even if you start a countdown operation from the reset time, the countdown automatically restarts from the countdown start time whenever it reaches zero.

Auto-repeat timing repeats up to seven times.

Elapsed Time

When the end of the countdown is reached in the elapsed time mode, the timer automatically switches to an elapsed time measurement operation.

The elapsed time mode is best when timing the speed of yachts during ocean races.

The elapsed time operation is performed in one-second increments up to 99 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds.

Countdown Timer Beeper Operations

The watch beeps at various times during a countdown so you can keep informed about the countdown status without looking at the display. The following describes the types of beeper operations the watch performs during a countdown.

Countdown End Beeper

The watch beeps each second of the final 10 seconds before a countdown reaches zero, and at zero. The first five beeps (seconds 10 through 6) are higher pitched than the final five beeps (seconds 5 through 1). The watch emits a longer beep to signal when the countdown reaches zero.

The countdown end beeper always sounds, regardless of the on/off status of the progress beeper.

Progress Beeper

The progress beeper actually includes two beepers: a reset time beeper and a reset period progress beeper.

The reset time beeper and reset period progress beeper sound only while the progress beeper is turned on.

Reset Time Beeper

The reset time beeper is similar to the countdown end beeper. When the progress beeper is turned on, the watch beeps each second of the final 10 seconds before the countdown reaches the reset time.

Reset Period Progress Beeper

The reset period is the portion of the countdown between the reset time and zero. When the progress beeper is turned on, the watch emits four short beeps at the top of each minute during the reset period, and 30 seconds before the end of the countdown.

Configuring the Countdown Timer

The following are the settings you should configure before actually using the countdown timer.
