Getting Acquainted

Congratulations upon your selection of this CASIO watch. To get the most out of your purchase, be sure to carefully read this manual and keep it on hand for later reference when necessary.

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

If the display of the watch is blank...

If the SLEEP indicator is on the display, it means that the display is blank because the watch’s Power Saving function has turned off the display to conserve power. Power Saving automatically turns off the display and puts the watch into a sleep state whenever your watch is left for a certain period where it is dark.

The initial factory default setting is Power Saving on.

The watch recovers from the sleep state if you move it to

a well-lit area*, if you press any button, or if you angle the watch towards your face for reading.

*It can take up to five seconds for the display to turn on.

See “Power Saving Function” for more information.

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.

Use the Timekeeping Mode to set and view the current time and date.

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

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

Important!

Moon phase, tide graph data, and Moon/Tide Data Mode data will not be displayed properly unless the Timekeeping Mode current date and time settings and Home Site data are configured correctly. See “Home Site Data” for more information.

Note that you must add one hour to the GMT differential for your time zone whenever you change to Daylight Saving Time. Subtract one hour when you change back to Standard Time.

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 Data List” and “Lunitidal Interval List” provide GMT differential, longitude, and lunitidal interval information around the world.

The following is the initial factory default Home Site data (Tokyo, Japan) when you first purchase the watch, whenever battery power drops to Level 5, and whenever you have the battery replaced. Change these settings to match the area where you anormally use the watch.

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