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.

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 “Power Supply” of this manual for important information you need to know when exposing the watch to bright light.

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

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.

About This Manual

The operational procedures for Modules 4709 and 4713

are identical. All of the illustrations in this manual show Module 4713.

Most of the display examples in this manual show only the digital display, without the analog hands.

Button operations are indicated using the letters shown

 

in the illustration.

 

Each section of this manual provides you with the

Module 4709

information you need to perform operations in each

mode. Further details and technical information can be

 

 

found in the “Reference” section.

This watch receives a time calibration signal and updates

 

 

 

 

its time setting accordingly.

 

 

 

 

Supported time calibration signals: Germany

 

 

 

 

(Mainflingen), England (Anthorn), United States (Fort

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.

The first thing you should do after purchasing this watch is to specify your Home Time Zone, which is the time zone where you normally will use the watch. For more information, see “To specify your Home Time Zone”.

When using the watch outside the areas covered by the time signal transmitters, you will have to adjust the current time setting manually as required. See “Timekeeping” for more information about manual time settings.

The U.S. time calibration signal can be picked up by the watch while in North America. The term “North America” in this manual refers to the area that consists of Canada, the continental United States, and Mexico.

The analog time of this watch is synchronized with the digital time. Because of this, the analog time setting is automatically adjusted whenever you change the digital setting. See “Analog Timekeeping” for more information.

Important!

Normally, your watch should show the correct time as soon as you select your Home Time Zone. 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.

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 time zones and transmitters, see “Home Time Zones and Transmitters”.

Under factory default settings, auto receive is turned off for all of the following time zones : UTC +8, UTC –10, and UTC –9. For details about turning on auto receive for these time zones, see “To turn auto receive on and off”.

You can disable time signal reception, if you want. See “To turn auto receive on and off” for more information.

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

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”.

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”.
