Time SettingSee “Radio Controlled Atomic Timekeeping” (page
Your Home City setting may be wrong (page
If you are using the watch in an area where time calibration signal reception is possible, see “To configure Home City settings” (page
If you are using in the watch in an area where time calibration signal reception is not possible, you may need to change your Home City’s standard time/daylight saving time (DST) setting manually. Use the procedure under “To change the current time and date settings manually” (page
The temperature unit setting is always Celsius (°C) whenever TOKYO is selected as the Home City. In this case, the setting cannot be changed.
■“ERR” appears on the display while I am using a sensor.Subjecting the watch to strong impact can cause sensor malfunction or improper contact of internal circuitry. When this happens, ERR (error) will appear on the display and sensor operations will be disabled.

•If ERR appears while a measurement operation is being performed in a sensor mode, restart the measurement. If ERR appears on the display again, it can mean there is something wrong with the sensor.
•Even if battery power is at Level 1 (H) or Level 2 (M), the Digital Compass/ Thermometer Mode, sensor may be disabled if there is not enough voltage available to power it sufficiently. In this case, ERR will appear on the display. This does not indicate malfunction, and sensor operation should resume once battery voltage returns to its normal level.
•If ERR keeps appearing during measurement, it could mean there is a problem with the applicable sensor.
■ERR appears on the display after I perform bidirectional calibration or northerly calibration.
If - - - appears and then changes to ERR (error) on the calibration screen, it means that there is something wrong with the sensor.
•If ERR disappears after about one second, try performing the calibration again.
•If ERR keeps appearing, contact your original dealer or nearest authorized CASIO distributor to have the watch checked.
The ERR message indicates there may be some problem with the sensor. The ERR message also may be due to movement of the watch while the calibration procedure is being performed. Try performing calibration again, taking care to ensure that the watch is not moved.
If this does not solve the problem, the problem may be due to some nearby source of terrestrial magnetism. Try performing the calibration procedure again from the beginning.
Whenever you have a sensor malfunction, take the watch to your original dealer or nearest authorized CASIO distributor as soon as possible.

•Incorrect bidirectional calibration. Perform bidirectional calibration (page
•Nearby source of strong magnetism, such as a household appliance, a large steel bridge, a steel beam, overhead wires, etc., or an attempt to perform direction measurement on a train, boat, etc. Move away from large metal objects and try again. Note that digital compass operation cannot be performed inside a train, boat, etc.
■What causes different direction readings to produce different results at the same location?
Magnetism generated by nearby
A TV, personal computer, speakers, or some other object is interfering with terrestrial magnetism readings. Move away from the object causing the interference or take the direction reading outdoors. Indoor direction readings are particularly difficult inside
This could be due to incorrect switching between standard time and daylight saving time. See “To specify standard time or daylight saving time (DST) for a city” (page
This can happen after the power level drops to Level 5 (page
