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.

Keep the watch exposed to bright light

The electricity generated by the solar cell of the watch is
stored by a built-in battery. Leaving or using the watch where
it is not exposed to light causes the batter y to run down.
Make sure the watch is exposed to light as much as possible.

When you are not wearing the watch on your wrist,
position the face so it is pointed at a source of bright light.

You should try to keep the watch outside of your sleeve
as much as possible. Charging is reduced significantly if
the face is only partially covered.

Bright Light

Solar cell

The watch continues to operate, even when it is not exposed to light. Leaving the
watch in the dark can cause the battery to run down, which will result in some watch
functions to be disabled. If the battery goes dead, you will have to re-configure watch
settings after recharging. To ensure normal watch operation, be sure to keep it
exposed to light as much as possible.

The actual level at which some functions are disabled depends on the watch model.

Frequent display illumination can run down the battery quickly and require charging.
The following guidelines give an idea of the charging time required to recover from a
single illumination operation.

Approximately 5 minutes exposure to bright sunlight coming in through a window
Approximately 50 minutes exposure to indoor fluorescent lighting

Be sure to read “Power Supply” for important information you need to know
when exposing the watch to bright light.

If the display of the watch is blank...

If the display of the watch is blank, it means that the watch’s Power Saving function
has turned off the display to conserve power.

See “Power Saving Function” for more information.

Radio-controlled Timekeeping

This watch receives a time calibration signal and updates
its time setting accordingly. The time calibration signal
includes both Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time
(summer time) data.

This watch is designed to pick up the time calibration
signal transmitted from Mainflingen, Germany and the
signal from Rugby, England.

In the Timekeeping Mode, you can press 

A

 to toggle

the display contents.

Current Time  Setting

This watch adjusts its time setting automatically in
accordance with a time calibration signal. You can also

The first thing you should do after purchasing this watch is to set your Home City,
which is the city where you will use the watch normally. For more information, see

When using the watch outside the range of the time signal transmitter, you have to
adjust the current time setting manually as required. See “Timekeeping” for more
information about manual time settings.

Important!

Normally, your watch should show the correct time as soon as you select your Home
City code. If it does not, it should adjust automatically after the next auto receive
operation (in the middle of the night). You can also perform manual receive or you
can set the time manually.

If you are in an area that does not use Daylight Saving Time (summer time), turn off
the DST setting.

Time Calibration Signal Reception

There are two different methods you can use to receive the time calibration signal:
auto receive and manual receive.

Auto Receive

With auto receive, the watch receives the time calibration signal automatically up to
six times a day. When any auto receive is successful, the remaining auto receive
operations are not performed. For more information, see “About Auto Receive”.

Manual Receive

Manual receive lets you start a time calibration receive operation with the press of a
button. For more information, see “To perform manual receive”.

Important!

When getting ready to receive the time calibration signal, position the watch as
shown in the nearby illustration, with its 12 o’clock side facing towards a window.
Make sure there are no metal objects nearby.

The watch should not be on its side or facing the wrong way.
