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 and keep it on hand for later reference when necessary.

Warning!

The longitude, lunitidal interval, Moon phase indicator and tide graph data that appear on the display of this watch are not intended for navigation purposes. Always use proper instruments and resources to obtain data for navigation purposes.

This watch is not an instrument for calculating low tide and high tide times. The tide graph of this watch is intended to provide a reasonable approximation of tidal movements only.

CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD. assumes no responsibility for any loss, or any claims by third parties that may arise through the use of this watch.

This watch features separate digital and analog timekeeping. The procedures for setting the digital time and analog time are different.

The Moon phase indicator shows the current Moon phase in accordance with the current date as kept in the Timekeeping Mode.

The tide graph shows tidal movements for the current date in accordance with the current time as kept in the Timekeeping Mode.

Important!

Be sure to configure the current time and date, and your Home Site data (data for the site where you use the watch) correctly before using the functions of this watch. See “Home Site Data” for more information.

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

To toggle the Timekeeping Mode digital time between DST and Standard Time

DST indicator

1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down Auntil the seconds

start to flash, which indicates the setting screen.

 

 

 

2. Press C once to display the DST setting screen.

 

 

 

3. Press D to toggle between Daylight Saving Time (ON

 

 

 

displayed) and Standard Time (OF displayed).

 

 

 

4. Press Atwice to exit the setting screen.

 

 

 

The DST indicator appears on the Timekeeping, Moon/

 

 

 

Tide Data, Alarm, and Hand Setting Mode screens to

 

 

 

indicate that Daylight Saving Time is turned on. In the

 

 

 

case of the Moon/Tide Data Mode, the DST indicator

The first press of Adisplays the UTC differential setting screen. Pressing A again exits the setting screen.

Resetting the seconds only (without changing the DST, hour, or minute setting) causes the analog minute hand setting to be adjusted automatically.

See “Digital Time Daylight Saving Time (DST) Setting” below for details about the DST setting.

The day of the week is displayed automatically in accordance with the date (year, month, and day) settings.

Moon phase, tide graph data, and Moon/Tide Data Mode data will not be displayed properly unless Home Site data (UTC differential, longitude, and lunitidal interval) is configured correctly.

The UTC differential is a value that indicates the time difference between a reference point in Greenwich, England and the time zone where a city is located.

The letters “UTC” is the abbreviation for “Coordinated Universal Time”, which is the world-wide scientific standard of timekeeping. It is based upon carefully maintained atomic (cesium) clocks that keep time accurately to within microseconds. Leap seconds are added or subtracted as necessary to keep UTC in sync with the Earth’s rotation.

The lunitidal interval is the time elapsing between the Moon’s transit over a meridian and the next high tide at that meridian. See “Lunitidal Interval” for more information.

This watch displays lunitidal intervals in terms of hours and minutes.

The “Site/Lunitidal Interval Data List” at the back of this manual provides UTC differential and longitude information around the world.

The following is the initial factory default Home Site data (Tokyo, Japan) when you first purchase the watch, and whenever you have the batteries replaced. Change these settings to match the area where you normally use the watch.

UTC differential (+9.0); Longitude (East 140 degrees); Lunitidal interval (5 hours, 20 minutes)

To configure Home Site data

1.In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down A until the seconds start to flash, which indicates the setting

screen.

2. Press Aagain to display the UTC differential setting screen.
