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
■There is more than one hour difference between the time indicated by the hands and the time on the digital display.
In the Timekeeping Mode, the watch performs automatic correction of the hand position error from −55 minutes to +5 minutes, once each hour.
If the displayed time and the time indicated by the hands do not match, it could mean that the hand home positions are off. Use the Hand Home Position Adjustment Mode (page
When TOKYO (TYO) is selected as the Home City, the altitude unit is set automatically to meters (m), the barometric pressure unit to hectopascals (hPa), and the temperature unit to Celsius (°C). These settings cannot be changed.
■“Err” appears on the digital 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 digital 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 digital 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 Compass Mode, Barometer/Thermometer Mode, or Altimeter Mode sensor may be disabled if there is not enough voltage available to power it sufficiently. In this case, Err will appear on the digital 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 digital 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.
■“Err” appears on the digital display after I perform northerly calibration.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.
■What causes incorrect direction readings?•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 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
■Why doesn’t the second hand indicate the barometric pressure differential when I enter the Barometer/Thermometer Mode?
•This could indicate sensor error. Try pressing B again.
•The barometric pressure differential is not indicated by the second hand if the pressure reading is outside the allowable measurement range (260 to 1,100 hPa).
World Time Mode■The time for my World Time City is off in the World Time Mode.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

The information in this section applies only when LONDON (LON), PARIS (PAR), ATHENS (ATH), HONG KONG (HKG), TOKYO (TYO), HONOLULU (HNL), ANCHORAGE (ANC), LOS ANGELES (LAX), DENVER (DEN), CHICAGO (CHI), or NEW YORK (NYC) is selected at the Home City. You need to adjust the current time manually when any other city is selected as the Home City.
