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.

Keep the watch exposed to bright light

		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
l	l	l	l	l l	l l l	l	l	it is not exposed to light causes the battery to run down.
								Make sure the watch is exposed to light as much as possible.

Solar cell	• 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 result in 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.

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 Mainflingen, Germany and the signal from Rugby, England.

•In the Timekeeping Mode, you can press A to toggle the display contents.

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 receives the time calibration signal automatically up to

six times a day. When any auto receive is successful, the remaining auto receive

operations are not performed. For more information, see “About Auto Receive”.

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

•When using the watch outside the range of the time signal transmitter, you have to adjust the current time setting manually as required. See “Timekeeping” for more information about manual time settings.
