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.

This watch does not have a city code that corresponds to the Greenwich Mean Time differential of –3.5 hours. Because of this, the radio-controlled atomic timekeeping function will not display the correct time for Newfoundland, Canada.

Keep the watch exposed to bright light

light.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You should try to keep the watch outside of your sleeve

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

as much as possible. Even if the face of the watch is

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 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.

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 when the watch’s battery runs down.

Whenever you enter the Timekeeping, Countdown Timer, World Time, or Alarm

Mode, the hands of the watch move to the applicable time for that mode. Even if the hands are moving, you can press C to move to another mode (except for the Stopwatch Mode), if you want. Note, however, that all other buttons are disabled while the hands are moving.

Radio-controlled Atomic Timekeeping

This watch receives a time calibration signal and updates its time setting accordingly.

Supported time calibration signals: Germany (Mainflingen), England (Anthorn), United States (Fort Collins), Japan (Fukushima or Fukuoka/Saga).

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 and date, when necessary.

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

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.

To specify your Home City

1.In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down Afor about five seconds until the watch beeps twice.

The stopwatch second hand will move to the city code of the currently selected Home City. This is the city code setting mode.

The second hand will stop at “0”.*

*Some models show “60” instead of “0”.

In addition to the above, you also can select city codes that are outside the ranges of the time calibration signal transmitters supported by this watch.

Note that this watch does not have a city code that corresponds to Newfoundland.

3.After the Home City setting is the way you want, press A to return to the Timekeeping Mode.

Normally, your watch should show the correct time as soon as you specify your Home City code. If it does not, it should adjust automatically after the next auto receive operation. You also can 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.

Daylight Saving Time (DST)

Daylight Saving Time (summer time) advances the time setting by one hour from Standard Time. Remember that not all countries or even local areas use Daylight Saving Time.

The time calibration signals transmitted from Mainflingen (Germany), Anthorn (England), or Fort Collins (the United States) include both Standard Time and DST data. When the Auto DST setting is turned on, the watch switches between Standard Time and DST (summer time) automatically in accordance with the signals.

Though the time calibration signal transmitted by the Fukushima and Fukuoka/Saga, Japan transmitters include summer time data, summer time currently is not implemented in Japan (as of 2007).

The default DST setting is Auto DST (AT/AUTO) whenever you select LON, PAR, ATH, ANC, LAX, DEN, CHI, NYC, or TYO as your Home City code.

If you experience problems receiving the time calibration signal in your area, it probably is best to switch between Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time (summer time) manually. For more information, see “To set the time and date

manually”.
