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.

Warning!

The measurement functions built into this watch are not intended for use in taking measurements that require professional or industrial precision. Values produced by this watch should be considered as reasonably accurate representations only.

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.

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!

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.

To toggle between 12-hour and 24-hour timekeeping

In the Timekeeping Mode, press Dto toggle between 12-hour timekeeping and 24- hour timekeeping.

With the 12-hour format, the P (PM) indicator appears to the left of the hour digits for times in the range of noon to 11:59 p.m. and no indicator appears to the left of the hour digits for times in the range of midnight to 11:59 a.m.

With the 24-hour format, times are displayed in the range of 0:00 to 23:59, without any indicator.

The 12-hour/24-hour timekeeping format you select in the Timekeeping Mode is applied in all other modes.

Daylight Saving Time (DST) Setting

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

Setting the Time and Date

This watch is preset with UTC differential values that represent each time zone around the globe. Before setting the time, be sure to set the UTC differential for your Home Site first, which is the location where you normally will be using the watch.

Note that World Time Mode times are all displayed based on the time and date settings you configure in the Timekeeping Mode.

Home Site Data

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

The UTC differential indicates the time differential with Greenwich, England.

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” 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 battery 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)
