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 battery 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 covered only partially.

• 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 cause 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 five 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.

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 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.

About This Manual

Area name

• The current area name appears at the bottom of the display whenever you enter

the Timekeeping Mode.

• Only three letters appear on the display at one time, so the area name scrolls from

right to left.

Temperature Measurements
When you display the Temperature screen in the Timekeeping Mode, the watch starts
taking automatic temperature readings at an interval of approximately two minutes.

• You can select either Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F) units for the Temperature

screen. See “To specify the temperature display unit” for more information.

• The Temperature screen displays temperature values in 0.1°C units (or 0.2°F units).

• The display range of the temperature screen is –10.0°C to 60.0°C (or 14.0°F to

140.0

°F).

• You can calibrate the Temperature sensor if you feel that the displayed temperature

values are not correct. See “Temperature Sensor Calibration” for more information.

Important!

• Temperature measurements are affected by your body temperature (while you are

wearing the watch), direct sunlight, and moisture. To achieve a more accurate
temperature measurement, remove the watch from your wrist, place it in a well
ventilated location out of direct sunlight, and wipe all moisture from the case. It
takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes for the case of the watch to reach the actual
surrounding temperature.

Tide Graph and Moon Phase Indicator

• 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.

• Because the watch needs to read certain data, it takes about 40 seconds before

the graph appears. The Moon phase indicator flashes while the watch is reading
data.

Important!

• Moon phase indicator and tide graph 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.

Home Site Data
Note that tide graph data and the Moon phase indicator will not show the correct
information unless your Home Site (city code and area) is specified correctly. World
Time Mode times are all calculated based on the Home Site time and date setting in
the Timekeeping Mode.

• First select the city code for your Home Site and specify the UTC differential. Next,

specify the area that is nearest the location where you will be using the watch.
Areas are preset with the names of coastal areas that match the city code and UTC
differential you specify.

• 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 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.

Home City Code: 

TYO, Tokyo (UTC Differential: +9.0); Area: SHIBAURA
