Operation Guide 5061

Congratulations upon your selection of this CASIO watch.

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

Note that CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD. assumes no responsibility for any damage or loss suffered by you or any third party arising through the use of this product or its malfunction.

About This Manual

Power Levels

 

You can get an idea of the watch’s power level by

 

observing the movement of the x Second Hand in the

 

Timekeeping Mode.

 

If the x Second Hand is moving normally in one-second

 

steps, power is at Level 1.

 

If the x Second Hand is jumping at two-second steps,

 

power is at Level 2, which is quite low. Expose the watch



to light as soon as possible so it can charge.

 

Jumps every two seconds.

 



Button operations are indicated using the letters A through Dshown in the illustration.

When power drops to Level 3, all functions will be disabled but the watch will continue to keep time internally for about one week. If you recharge the battery sufficiently during this period, the analog hands will move automatically to the correct setting and normal timekeeping will resume. After one week, all settings (including timekeeping) will be cleared. Recharging the battery will reset all settings to their initial factory defaults.

Things to check before using the watch

1.Hold down Cfor about two seconds to enter the Timekeeping Mode, and then observe the movement of the x Second Hand.

Is the x Second Hand moving smoothly in one-second steps?

 

NO

YES

 

Is the x Second Hand jumping every two

The watch is charged sufficiently.

 

seconds or is it stopped completely?

For details about charging, see

 

YES

“Charging the Watch”.

 

NEXT

 

Power is low. Charge the watch by placing

 

 

it in a location where it is exposed to light.

 

Go to step 2.

 

For details, see “Charging the Watch”.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Check the Home City and the daylight saving time (DST) setting.

Use the procedure under “To configure Home City settings” to configure your Home City and daylight saving time settings.

Important!

Proper time calibration signal reception and World Time settings depend on correct Home City, time, and date settings in the Timekeeping Mode. Make sure you configure these settings correctly.

3. Set the current time.

To set the time using a time calibration signal See “To get ready for a receive operation”.

To set the time manually

See “Configuring Current Time and Date Settings Manually”.

The watch is now ready for use.

For details about the watch’s radio controlled timekeeping feature, see “Radio Controlled Atomic Timekeeping”.

Charging the Watch

The face of the watch is a solar cell that generates power from light. The generated power charges a built-in rechargeable battery, which powers watch operations. The watch charges whenever it is exposed to light.

Power Recovery Mode

The watch is designed to go into a power recovery mode that stops hand operation temporarily whenever power suddenly drops below a certain level due to overuse of the alarm tone over a short period. Note that all operations are disabled while the watch is in the power recovery mode.

The hands will move to the correct positions and the watch will resume normal operation after power recovers (in about 15 minutes). Putting the watch in a location where it is exposed to light will help power to recover sooner.

The above exposure times all are for reference only. Actual exposure times depend on lighting conditions.

For details about the operating time and daily operating conditions, see the “Power Supply” section of the Specifications.

Power Saving

Power Saving enters a sleep state automatically whenever the watch is left for a certain period in an area where it is dark. The table below shows how watch functions are affected by Power Saving.

There actually are two sleep state levels: “second hand sleep” and “function sleep”.

Charging Guide

Whenever you are not wearing the watch, be sure to leave it in a location where it is exposed to light.

Best charging performance is achieved by exposing the watch to light that is as strong as possible.

Warning!

When wearing the watch, makes sure that its face is not blocked from light by the sleeve of your clothing.

The watch may enter a sleep state if its face is blocked by your sleeve even only partially.

The watch will not enter a sleep state between 6:00 AM and 9:59 PM. If the watch is already in a sleep state when 6:00 AM arrives, however, it will remain in the sleep state.

The watch will not enter a sleep state while it is in the Stopwatch Mode or Countdown Timer Mode.

To recover from the sleep state

Move the watch to a well-lit area or press any button.

Leaving the watch in bright light for charging can cause it to become quite hot. Take care when handling the watch to avoid burn injury. The watch can become particularly hot when exposed to the following conditions for long periods.

On the dashboard of a car parked in direct sunlight

Too close to an incandescent lamp

Under direct sunlight

Important!

Keep the watch in an area normally exposed to bright light when storing it for long periods. This helps to ensure that power does not run down.

Storing the watch for long periods in an area where there is no light or wearing it in such a way that it is blocked from exposure to light can cause power to run down. Make sure that the watch is exposed to bright light whenever possible.
