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

						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. Even if the face of the watch is
									blocked only partially from light, charging will be reduced
									significantly.

• 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.

Battery charges in the light. Battery discharges in the dark.

Radio-controlled Timekeeping

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 switches automatically between Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time in accordance with the time calibration signal it receives. There is no indicator showing whether the time currently shown by the watch is Standard Time or Daylight Saving Time.

•This watch is designed to pick up the time calibration signal transmitted in Germany (Mainflingen) and England (Anthorn).

•See the information under “Signal Reception Troubleshooting” if you experience problems with time calibration signal reception.

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, when necessary.

•The first thing you should do after purchasing this watch is to specify a GMT differential, which is the time differential between GMT and the location where you normally will use the watch. For more information, see “To specify a GMT differential” below.

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

To specify a GMT differential

			1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down Bfor about five
GMT	GMT		seconds until the second hand moves to the currently

			GMT +0 (12 o’clock): London
			GMT +1 (1 o’clock): Paris, Berlin, Milan, Rome,

			Barcelona, Madrid
			GMT +2 (2 o’clock): Athens
			3. Press Bto exit the setting mode.

•The watch also will return to the Timekeeping Mode if you do not perform any operation for about two or three minutes.

•Normally, your watch should show the correct time as soon as you select a GMT differential. 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.

•Even if the time calibration signal is received correctly, there are some times when the analog hands may not indicate the correct time. If this happens, use the procedures under “Adjusting the Home Positions” to check the home positions of the hands, and make adjustments as required.

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

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

If the analog hands aren’t moving...

If the analog hands aren’t moving, it means that the power saving mode has stopped them to save battery power.

•See “Power Saving” for more information.

•The hands also stop whenever the battery level reaches Level 2.

•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 GMT differential values and transmitters, see “Transmitters”.

•See the maps under “Approximate Reception Ranges” for information about the reception ranges of the watch.

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”.

•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”.

Important!

•When getting ready to receive the time calibration signal, position the watch as shown in the nearby illustration, with its 12 o’clock side facing towards a window. Make sure there are no metal objects nearby.
