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.
Applications
The built-in sensors of this watch measure direction, barometric pressure,
temperature and altitude. Measured values are then shown on the display.
Such features make this watch useful when hiking, mountain climbing, or
when engaging in other such outdoor activities.
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.

Radio-controlled Atomic Timekeeping
This watch receives a time calibration signal and updates its time setting
accordingly.
This watch is designed to pick up the time calibration signals transmitted in
Germany (Mainflingen), England (Rugby), and the United States (Fort
Collins) and the time calibration signals transmitted in Japan.
Signal reception normally is better at night than during the day.

Time calibration signal reception takes from two to seven minutes, but in
some cases it can take as long as 14 minutes. Take care that you do not
perform any button operations or move the watch during this time.
The time calibration signal the watch will attempt to pick up depends on its
current Home City code setting as shown below.
Current Time Setting

This watch adjusts its time setting automatically in accordance with a time
calibration signal. You also can perform a manual procedure to set the time
and date, when necessary.
The first thing you should do after purchasing this watch is to specify
your Home City (the city where you normally will use the watch). For
more information, see To specify your Home City below.
When using the watch outside the areas covered by the time signal
transmitters, you will have to adjust the current time setting manually as
required. See Timekeeping for more information about manual time
settings.
The U.S. time calibration signal can be picked up by the watch while in
North America. The term North America in this manual refers to the area
that consists of Canada, the continental United States, and Mexico.

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 also can
perform manual receive or you can set the time manually.
The watch will receive the time calibration signal automatically from the
applicable transmitter (in the middle of the night) and update its settings
accordingly. For information about the relationship between city codes and
transmitters, see Time Calibration Signal Reception and Transmitters.
See the maps under Reception Ranges for information about the
reception ranges of the watch.
You can disable time signal reception, if you want. See To turn auto receive
on and off for more information.
Signal reception may not be possible at the distances noted below during
certain times of the year or day. Radio interference may also cause
problems with reception.
Mainflingen (Germany) or Rugby (England) transmitters: 500 kilometers
(310 miles)
Fort Collins (United States) transmitter: 600 miles (1,000 kilometers)
Fukushima or Fukuoka/Saga (Japan) transmitters: 500 kilometers (310

Even when the watch is within the reception range of the transmitter, signal
reception will be impossible if the signal is blocked by mountains or other
geological formations between the watch and signal source.
Signal reception is affected by weather, atmospheric conditions, and
seasonal changes.
See the information under Signal Reception Troubleshooting if you
experience problems with time calibration signal reception.
Time Calibration Signal Reception
About Auto Receive
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 oclock side facing towards a
window. Make sure there are no metal objects nearby.

Note
When a calibration time is reached, the watch will receive the calibration
signal only if it is in either the Timekeeping Mode or World Time Mode.
Reception is not performed if a calibration time is reached while you are
configuring settings.
Auto receive of the calibration signal is designed to be performed early in
the morning, while you sleep (provided that the Timekeeping Mode time is
set correctly). Before going to bed for the night, remove the watch from your
wrist, and put it in a location where it can receive the signal easily.
The receiving indicator shows the strength of the calibration signal being
received. For best reception, be sure to keep the watch in a location where
signal strength is strongest. The receiving indicator is displayed while an auto
or manual receive operation is in progress.

The watch receives the calibration signal for two to seven minutes everyday
when the time in the Timekeeping Mode reaches each of the calibration
times. Do not perform any button operation within seven minutes before or
after any one of the calibration times. Doing so can interfere with correct
calibration.
Remember that reception of the calibration signal depends on the current
time in the Timekeeping Mode. The receive operation will be performed
whenever the display shows any one of the calibration times, regardless of
whether or not the displayed time actually is the correct time.

Digital Compass
A built-in bearing sensor detects magnetic north and indicates one of 16
directions on the display. Direction readings are performed in the Digital
Compass Mode.
You can store a direction reading in Bearing Memory and display that reading
as you take subsequent readings.
For more information about Bearing Memory, see Bearing Memory.
You can calibrate the bearing sensor if you suspect the direction reading is
incorrect.
See Using the Digital Compass While Mountain Climbing or Hiking for
some real-life examples of how to use this feature.

Also, four pointers appear to indicate magnetic
north, south, east, and west.
After the first reading is obtained, the watch
continues to take direction readings
automatically each second, for up to 20
seconds.

While the watch is taking compass readings, it displays a direction angle, a

direction indicator, and four direction pointers, which change dynamically
when the watch is moved. The direction angle, direction indicator and
direction pointers all disappear from the display after the compass reading
operation is complete.
Location
Taking a direction reading when you are near a source of strong magnetism
can cause large errors in readings. Because of this, you should avoid taking
direction readings while in the vicinity of the following types of objects:
permanent magnets (magnetic necklaces, etc.), concentrations of metal
(metal doors, lockers, etc.), high tension wires, aerial wires, household
appliances (TVs, personal computers, washing machines, freezers, etc.)
Accurate direction readings are impossible while in a train, boat, air plane,
etc.
Accurate readings are also impossible indoors, especially inside ferroconcrete structures. This is because the metal framework of such structures
picks up magnetism from appliances, etc.
Storage
The precision of the bearing sensor may deteriorate if the watch becomes
magnetized. Because of this, you should be sure to store the watch away
from magnets or any other sources of strong magnetism, including:
permanent magnets (magnetic necklaces, etc.) and household appliances
(TVs, personal computers, washing machines, freezers, etc.)
Whenever you suspect that the watch may have become magnetized,
perform one of the calibration procedures under Calibrating the Bearing
Sensor.
Calibrating the Bearing Sensor

You should calibrate the bearing sensor whenever you feel that the direction
readings being produced by the watch are off. There are three different
calibration methods available: magnetic declination correction, bidirectional
calibration, and northerly calibration.
Magnetic Declination Correction
With magnetic declination correction, you input a magnetic declination
angle (difference between magnetic north and true north), which allows the
watch to indicate true north.
You can perform this procedure when the magnetic declination angle is
indicated on the map you are using.
Note that you can input the declination angle in degree units only, so you
may need to round off the value specified on the map. If your map indicates
the declination angle as 7.4, you should input 7. In the case of 7.6 input
8, for 7.5 you can input 7 or 8.
Note
Note that taking a measurement
while the watch is not horizontal
(in relation to the horizon) can
result in large measurement error.
Bidirectional Calibration and Northerly Calibration

Bidirectional calibration and northerly calibration calibrate the accuracy of
the direction sensor in relation to magnetic north.
Use bidirectional calibration when you want to take readings within an area
exposed to magnetic force. This type of calibration should be used if the
watch becomes magnetized for any reason. With northerly calibration, you
teach the watch which way is north (which you have to determine with
another compass or some other means).
The margin of error for the angle value and the direction indicator is 11
degrees. If the indicated direction is northwest (NW) and 315 degrees, for
example, the actual direction can be anywhere from 304 to 326 degrees.
Any ongoing direction measurement operation is paused temporarily while
the watch is performing an alert operation (daily alarm, Hourly Time Signal,
countdown timer alarm) or while illumination is turned on (by pressing L).
The measurement operation resumes for its remaining duration after the
operation that caused it to pause is finished.
The following table shows the meanings of each of the direction
abbreviations that appear on the display.
Important!
If you want to perform both bidirectional and northerly calibration, be sure
to perform bidirectional calibration first, and then perform northerly
calibration. This is necessary because bidirectional calibration cancels any
existing northerly calibration setting.
The more correctly you perform bidirectional calibration, the better the
accuracy of the bearing sensor readouts. You should perform bidirectional
calibration whenever you change environments where you use the bearing
sensor, and whenever you feel that the bearing sensor is producing
incorrect readings.

Digital Compass Precautions

This watch features a built-in magnetic bearing sensor that detects terrestrial
magnetism. This means that north indicated by this watch is magnetic north,
which is somewhat different from true polar north. The magnetic north pole is
located in northern Canada, while the magnetic south pole is in southern
Australia. Note that the difference between magnetic north and true north as
measured with all magnetic compasses tends to be greater as one gets
closer to either of the magnetic poles. You should also remember that some
maps indicate true north (instead of magnetic north), and so you should make
allowances when using such maps with this watch.
To perform magnetic declination correction

1. In the Digital Compass Mode, hold down E
for about two seconds until the magnetic
declination angle value starts to flash. This is
the setting screen.
2. Use A (+) and C () to change the magnetic
declination angle value.

The illustration above, for example, shows the value you should input
and the direction setting you should select when the map shows a

5. When the setting is the way you want, press E to exit the setting screen.
Selecting OFF for the magnetic declination angle direction causes the
watchs magnetic declination angle value to change to xx.

Precautions about bidirectional calibration
You can use any two opposing directions for bidirectional calibration. You
must, however, make sure that they are 180 degrees opposite each other.
Remember that if you perform the procedure incorrectly, you will get wrong
bearing sensor readings.
Make sure that you do not move the watch while calibration of either
direction is in progress.
You should perform bidirectional calibration in an environment that is the
same as that where you plan to be taking direction readings. If you plan to
take direction readings in an open field, for example, calibrate in an open
field.

ERR disappears after about one second, try performing the calibration
again. If ERR keeps appearing, contact your original dealer or nearest
authorized CASIO distributor to have the watch checked.
2. While direction angle readings are in progress, press E.

This will cause the direction angle to flash for about one second as it is
stored in Bearing Memory, and then the Bearing Memory screen will
appear.
While the Bearing Memory screen is on the display, you can press C to
start a 20-second direction reading operation that displays the direction
angle for the direction that the 12 oclock position of the watch is pointed.
The direction angle of the current readings will disappear from the display
after the direction reading operation is complete.
During the first 20 seconds after you display the Bearing Memory screen or
during the 20-second direction reading operation while the Bearing Memory
screen is on the display, the direction stored in memory is indicated by an
indicator in the ring around the display.
Pressing E while the Bearing Memory screen is displayed will clear the
direction angle currently in Bearing Memory and return to the Digital
Compass Mode.
Using the Digital Compass While Mountain Climbing or

Hiking
This section provides three practical applications for using the watchs built-in
digital compass.
Setting a map and finding your current location
Having an idea of your current location is important when mountain
climbing or hiking. To do this, you need to set the map, which means to
align the map so the directions indicated on it are aligned with the actual
directions of your location. Basically what you are doing is aligning north on
the map with north as indicated by the watch.

2. Use A (+) and C () to change the magnetic
declination value.
3. Use A to display the OFF setting.
The watch will display measurement values that deviate from true north
if you perform northerly calibration without turning off magnetic
declination correction.
4. Press D twice to display the northerly calibration screen.
At this time, -N- (north) appears on the display.
5. Place the watch on a level surface, and position it so that its 12 oclock
position points north (as measured with another compass).
6. Press C to start the calibration operation.
--- is shown on the display while calibration is being performed. When
calibration is successful, the display will show OK and the Digital Compass
Mode (with 0 shown as the angle value).
If --- appears and then changes to ERR (error) on the calibration
screen, it means that there is something wrong with the sensor. When
ERR disappears after about one second, try performing the calibration
again. If ERR keeps appearing, contact your original dealer or nearest
authorized CASIO distributor to have the watch checked.

1. With the watch on your wrist, position it so the

face is horizontal.
2. In the Timekeeping, Digital Compass,
Barometer/Thermometer, or Altimeter Mode,
press C to take a compass reading.
The reading will appear on the display after
about two seconds.
3. Rotate the map without moving the watch so
the northerly direction indicated on the map
matches north as indicated by the watch.
If the watch is configured to indicate
magnetic north, align the maps magnetic
north with the watch indication. If the watch
has been configured with a declination to
correct to true north, align the maps true
north with the watch indication.
This will position the map in accordance
with your current location.
4. Determine your location as you check the
geographic contours around you.
To find the bearing to an objective
1. Set the map so its northerly indication is

aligned with north as indicated by the watch,
and determine your current location.

Barometer/Thermometer
This watch uses a pressure sensor to measure air pressure (barometric
pressure) and a temperature sensor to measure temperature.
You can calibrate the pressure sensor and the temperature sensor if you
suspect that readings are incorrect.
To take barometric pressure and temperature readings

It can take up to four or five seconds for the
barometric pressure reading to appear after
you enter the Barometer/Thermometer Mode.
Barometric pressure is displayed in units of
1hPa (or 0.05 inHg).
Barometric
pressure
The displayed barometric pressure value changes to xxxx hPa (or inHg) if
a measured barometric pressure falls outside the range of 260 hPa to
1100 hPa (7.65 inHg to 32.45 inHg). The barometric pressure value will
reappear as soon as the measured barometric pressure is within the
allowable range.
Temperature is displayed in units of 0.1C (or 0.2F).
The displayed temperature value changes to xxx C (or F) if a measured
temperature falls outside the range of 10.0C to 60.0C (14.0F to
140.0F). The temperature value will reappear as soon as the measured
temperature is within the allowable range.
In some areas, barometric pressure is expressed in millibars (mb) instead
of hectopascals (hPa). It really makes no difference, because 1hPa = 1mb.
You can select either hectopascals (hPa) or inchesHg (inHg) as the display
unit for the measured barometric pressure, and Celsius (C) or Fahrenheit
(F) as the display unit for the measured temperature value. See To select
the temperature, barometric pressure, and altitude units.
See Barometer and Thermometer Precautions for important precautions.
Barometric Pressure Graph

Barometric pressure indicates changes in the atmosphere. By monitoring
these changes you can predict the weather with reasonable accuracy.
This watch takes barometric pressure measurements automatically every two
hours (at the top of each even-numbered hour), regardless of its current
mode. Measurement results are used to produce barometric pressure graph
and barometric pressure differential pointer readings.
The barometric pressure graph shows readings of previous measurements for
up to 24 hours. The horizontal axis of the graph represents time, with each dot
standing for two hours. The rightmost dot represents the most recent reading.
The vertical axis of the graph represents barometric pressure, with each dot
standing for the relative difference between its reading and that of the dots
next to it. Each dot represents 1hPa.
The following shows how to interpret the data that appears on the barometric
pressure graph.
A rising graph generally means improving weather.
A falling graph generally means deteriorating weather.
Note that if there are sudden changes in weather or
temperature, the graph line of past measurements may run
off the top or bottom of the display. The entire graph will
become visible once barometric conditions stabilize.
The following conditions cause the barometric pressure

The barometric pressure differential pointer is not displayed when the
displayed current barometric value is outside of the allowable measurement
range (260 to 1,100 hPa).
Barometric pressure is calculated and displayed using hPa as the standard.
The barometric pressure differential also can be read in inHg units as

About Barometric and Temperature Measurements
Barometric pressure and temperature measurement operations are

performed as soon as you enter the Barometer/Thermometer Mode. After
that, barometric pressure and temperature measurements are taken every
five seconds.
You also can perform a barometric pressure and temperature measurement
at any time by pressing B in the Barometer/Thermometer Mode.

Altimeter
Displaying Your Current Altitude

You can use the procedure described in this section to display your current
altitude. If you leave the watch in the Altimeter Mode, it will update the
displayed altitude value regularly, and indicate reading-to-reading changes in
the altitude graph at the top of the display.
The Altimeter Mode gives you a choice of four different display formats. The
format you choose determines what type of data is displayed. The Altimeter
Mode screen can show any three of the following four items: altitude graph,
altitude value, altitude differential, and the current time. You also can select
either of the following two altitude measurement types.
005: Readings at five-second intervals for one hour
200: Readings at five-second intervals for the first three minutes followed
by two-minute intervals for approximately nine or 10 hours
For information about configuring settings for the altitude reading interval
and duration, see To select the altitude measurement type.
Important!
The procedure in this section simply displays values indicating your current
altitude, without storing them in watch memory. For information about
recording altitude readings in watch memory, see Saving Altitude Data.

How the Altimeter Measures Altitude
To select the altitude measurement type
llll
Important!
This watch estimates altitude based on air pressure. This means that
altitude readings for the same location may vary if air pressure changes.
The semiconductor pressure sensor used by the watch for altitude
measurements is also affected by temperature. When taking altitude
measurements, make sure the watch is not subjected to temperature
changes.
To avoid the effect of sudden temperature changes during measurement,
keep the watch on your wrist in direct contact with your skin.
Do not rely upon this watch for altitude measurements or perform button
operations while sky diving, hang gliding, or paragliding, while riding a
gyrocopter, glider, or any other aircraft, or while engaging in any other
activity where there is the chance of sudden altitude changes.
Do not use this watch for measuring altitude in applications that demand
professional or industrial level precision.
Remember that the air inside of a commercial aircraft is pressurized.
Because of this, the readings produced by this watch will not match the
altitude readings announced or indicated the flight crew.
Notes
Normally, displayed altitude values are based on the watchs preset
conversion values. You also can specify a reference altitude, if you want.
See Specifying a Reference Altitude.
Altitude is displayed in units of 5 meters (20 feet).
The measurement range for altitude is 700 to 10,000 meters (2,300 to
32,800 feet).
The measured altitude may be a negative value in cases where there is a
reference altitude value set or because of certain atmospheric conditions.
The displayed altitude value changes to xxxx meters (or feet) if a
measured altitude falls outside the measurement range. The altitude value
will be displayed again as soon as the measured altitude is within the
allowable range.
You can change the measurement unit for displayed altitude values to either
meters (m) or feet (ft). See To select the temperature, barometric pressure,
and altitude units.
ll
The watchs altimeter uses a pressure sensor to detect current air pressure,
which is then used to estimate the current altitude based on ISA (International
Standard Atmosphere) preset values. You also can specify a reference
altitude, which the watch will use to calculate your current altitude based on
the value you specify. Altimeter functions also include storage of
measurement data in memory.
You also can measure the altitude differential (change) from a specific
reference altitude. Specifying the reference altitude is as simple as pressing a
single button to reset the reference altitude to zero.

information.
You can recall saved records using the Data Recall Mode.
Periodic Records
Periodic records of up to 40 altitude readings are taken during a save
session.
You can use the Data Recall Mode to view these records.
Other Altimeter Mode Features

This section explains other features and settings that are available in the
Altimeter Mode. Note that all of the information in this section applies to all
types of Altimeter Mode measurements, unless specifically indicated
otherwise.
Specifying a Reference Altitude

After you specify a reference altitude, the watch adjusts its air-pressure-toaltitude conversion calculation accordingly. The altitude measurements
produced by this watch are subject to error caused by changes in air
pressure. Because of this, we recommend that you update the reference
altitude whenever one is available during your climb.
To set a reference altitude
How periodic records are created and saved

Note
The following operation is performed simultaneously with the operation
described under How current session record data is updated.
a. The watch creates Periodic Record 1 when you start a new save session.
Periodic Record 1 contains the current date (month and day), time, and
altitude.
Each periodic record contains the current date (month and day), time,
and altitude.
b. After that, the watch takes readings and stores Periodic Records 2, 3, 4,
and so on at minute 00, 15, 30, and 45 of each hour.
c. After Periodic Record 40 is stored (or if you stop the save session
manually by holding down A), the watch will create a final periodic record,
which contains the current date (month and day), time, and altitude.
Pressing A and C at the same time returns to OFF (no reference

altitude), so the watch performs air pressure to altitude conversions
based on preset data only.

Illumination
Auto light switch
on indicator
The display of the watch is illuminated using an

EL (electro-luminescent) panel for easy reading
in the dark. The watchs auto light switch turns on
illumination automatically when you angle the
watch towards your face.
The auto light switch must be turned on
(indicated by the auto light switch on indicator)
for it to operate.
See Illumination Precautions for other
important information about using illumination.
To turn on illumination manually

Press L in any mode to illuminate the display for about one second.
The above operation turns on illumination regardless of the current auto
light switch setting.
Illumination is disabled during time calibration signal reception, while
configuring sensor measurement mode settings, and during bearing sensor
calibration.

About the Auto Light Switch
Turning on the auto light switch causes illumination to turn on, whenever you
position your wrist as described below in any mode.
Note that this watch features a Full Auto EL Light, so the auto light switch
operates only when available light is below a certain level. It does not
illuminate the display under bright light.
The auto light switch is always disabled, regardless of its on/off setting,
when any one of the following conditions exists.
While an alarm is sounding
During sensor measurement
While a bearing sensor calibration operation is being performed in the
Digital Compass Mode
While a receive operation is in progress in the Receive Mode
Question: How does the altimeter work?

Answer: Generally, air pressure and temperature decrease as altitude
increases. This watch bases its altitude measurements on
International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) values stipulated by the
International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). These values define
relationships between altitude, air pressure, and temperature.
Altitude
4000 m
3500 m
3000 m
2500 m

Moving the watch to a position that is parallel to the ground and then tilting
it towards you more than 40 degrees causes illumination to turn on.
Wear the watch on the outside of your wrist.

Warning!
Always make sure you are in a safe place whenever you are reading
the display of the watch using the auto light switch. Be especially
careful when running or engaged in any other activity that can result
in accident or injury. Also take care that sudden illumination by the
auto light switch does not startle or distract others around you.
When you are wearing the watch, make sure that its auto light switch
is turned off before riding on a bicycle or operating a motorcycle or
any other motor vehicle. Sudden and unintended operation of the auto
light switch can create a distraction, which can result in a traffic
accident and serious personal injury.
Note that the following conditions will prevent you from obtaining accurate
readings:
When air pressure changes because of changes in the weather
Extreme temperature changes
When the watch itself is subjected to strong impact
There are two standard methods of expressing altitude: Absolute altitude and
relative altitude. Absolute altitude expresses an absolute height above sea
level. Relative altitude expresses the difference between the height of two
different places.
To turn the auto light switch on and off

In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down L for about three seconds to toggle the
auto light switch on (A.EL displayed) and off (A.EL not displayed).
The auto light switch on indicator (A.EL) is on the display in all modes while
the auto light switch is turned on.
The auto light switch turns off automatically whenever battery power drops
to Level 4.
Illumination may not turn on right away if you raise the watch to your face
while a barometric pressure or altitude measurement operation is in
progress.
Questions & Answers

Question: What causes incorrect direction readings?
Answer:
Incorrect bidirectional calibration. Perform bidirectional calibration.
Nearby source of strong magnetism, such as a household appliance, a
large steel bridge, a steel beam, overhead wires, etc., or an attempt to
perform direction measurement on a train, boat, etc. Move away from large
metal objects and try again. Note that digital compass operation cannot be
performed inside a train, boat, etc.
Question: What causes different direction readings to produce different
results at the same location ?
Answer: Magnetism generated by nearby high-tension wires is interfering with
detection of terrestrial magnetism. Move away from the high-tension
wires and try again.
Question: Why am I having problems taking direction readings indoors ?
Answer: A TV, personal computer, speakers, or some other object is
interfering with terrestrial magnetism readings. Move away from the
object causing the interference or take the direction reading
outdoors. Indoor direction readings are particularly difficult inside
ferro-concrete structures. Remember that you will not be able to take
direction readings inside of trains, airplanes, etc.
Question: How does the barometer work?
Answer: Barometric pressure indicates changes in the atmosphere, and by
monitoring these changes you can predict the weather with
reasonable accuracy. Rising atmospheric pressure indicates good
weather, while falling pressure indicates deteriorating weather
conditions.
The barometric pressures that you see in the newspaper and on the
TV weather report are measurements corrected to values measured
at 0 m sea level.

Precautions Concerning Simultaneous Measurement of Altitude and
Temperature
Though you can perform altitude and temperature measurements at the same
time, you should remember that each of these measurements requires
different conditions for best results. With temperature measurement, it is best
to remove the watch from your wrist in order to eliminate the effects of body
heat. In the case of altitude measurement, on the other hand, it is better to
leave the watch on your wrist, because doing so keeps the watch at a
constant temperature, which contributes to more accurate altitude
measurements.
To give altitude measurement priority, leave the watch on your wrist or in
any other location where the temperature of the watch is kept constant.
To give temperature measurement priority, remove the watch from your
wrist and allow it to hang freely from your bag or in another location where
it is not exposed to direct sunlight. Note that removing the watch from your
wrist can affect pressure sensor readings momentarily.
Power Supply
This watch is equipped with a solar cell and a special rechargeable battery
(secondary battery) that is charged by the electrical power produced by the
solar cell. The illustration shown below shows how you should position the
watch for charging.
Example: Orient the watch so its face is
pointing at a light source.
The illustration shows how to position a
watch with a resin band.
Note that charging efficiency drops when
any part of the solar cell is blocked by
clothing, etc.
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.
Solar cell

Important!
Storing the watch for long periods in an area where there is no light or
wearing it in such a way that it is blocked from exposure to light can cause
rechargeable battery power to run down. Be sure that the watch is exposed
to bright light whenever possible.
This watch uses a special rechargeable battery to store power produced by
the solar cell, so regular battery replacement is not required. However, after
very long use, the rechargeable battery may lose its ability to achieve a full
charge. If you experience problems getting the special rechargeable battery
to charge fully, contact your dealer or CASIO distributor about having it
replaced.
Never try to remove or replace the watchs special battery yourself. Use of
the wrong type of battery can damage the watch.
All data stored in memory is deleted, and the current time and all other
settings return to their initial factory defaults whenever battery power drops
to Level 5 and when you have the battery replaced.
Turn on the watchs Power Saving function and keep it in an area normally
exposed to bright light when storing it for long periods. This helps to keep
the rechargeable battery from going dead.

All functions disabled.
The flashing LOW indicator at Level 3 tells you that battery power is very
low, and that exposure to bright light for charging is required as soon as
possible.
At Level 5, all functions are disabled and settings return to their initial
factory defaults. Once the battery reaches Level 2 (indicated by M indicator)
after falling to Level 5, reconfigure the current time, date, and other
settings.
Display indicators reappear as soon as the battery is charged from Level 5
to Level 2.
Leaving the watch exposed to direct sunlight or some other very strong light
source can cause the battery power indicator to show a reading temporarily
that is higher than the actual battery level. The correct battery level should
be indicated after a few minutes.
Certain charging conditions can cause the watch to become very hot. Avoid
leaving the watch in the areas described below whenever charging its
rechargeable battery.
Also note that allowing the watch to become very hot can cause its liquid
crystal display to black out. The appearance of the LCD should become
normal again when the watch returns to a lower temperature.
Warning!
Leaving the watch in bright light to charge its rechargeable battery can
cause it to become quite hot. Take care when handling the watch to
avoid burn injury. The watch can become particularly hot when exposed
to the following conditions for long periods.

Read This Before You Set the Time and Date!

This watch is preset with a number of city codes, each of which represents
the time zone where that city is located. When setting the time, it is important
that you first select the correct city code for your Home City (the city where
you normally use the watch). If your location is not included in the preset city
codes, select the preset city code that is in the same time zone as your
location.
Note that all of the times for the World Time Mode city codes are displayed
in accordance with the time and date settings you configure in the
Timekeeping Mode.
To set the time and date manually

1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down E until the city code starts to flash,
which indicates the setting screen.

This section contains more detailed and technical information about watch
operation. It also contains important precautions and notes about the various
features and functions of this watch.
The watch returns to the Timekeeping Mode automatically if you do not perform
any button operation for two or three minutes in the Data Recall, Alarm, Receive,
Digital Compass, or Barometer/Thermometer Mode.
If you do not perform any button operation while in the Altimeter Mode, the watch
returns to the Timekeeping Mode automatically after nine or 10 hours (altitude
measurement type: 200) or after one hour (altitude measurement type: 005).
If you leave a screen with flashing digits on the display for two or three minutes
without performing any operation, the watch exits the setting screen
automatically.
Initial Screens
When you enter the World Time, Alarm, or Digital Compass Mode, the data
you were viewing when you last exited the mode appears first.
Scrolling
The A and C buttons are used on the setting screen to scroll through data
on the display. In most cases, holding down these buttons during a scroll
operation scrolls through the data at high speed.
Use A (+) and C ().
Sensor Malfunction Indicator

Subjecting the watch to strong impact can cause sensor malfunction or
improper contact of internal circuitry. When this happens, ERR (error) will
appear on the display and sensor operations will be disabled.
Change the year, month, or day

Note
Auto DST (AT) can be selected only while LON, PAR, BER, ATH,
NYC, CHI, DEN, LAX, ANC, HNL, TYO, SEL, or HKG is
selected as the Home City code. For more information, see Daylight
Saving Time (DST) below.
You also need to enter the Timekeeping Mode in order to configure the
following settings.
Power saving on/off (To turn Power Saving on and off )
Temperature, barometric pressure, and altitude units (To select the
temperature, barometric pressure, and altitude units )
Daylight Saving Time (DST)

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 Saving Time.
The time calibration signals transmitted from Mainflingen (Germany), Rugby
(England), or Fort Collins (the United States) include both Standard Time and
DST data. When the Auto DST setting is turned on, the watch switches
between Standard Time and DST (summer time) automatically in accordance
with the signals.
Though the time calibration signal transmitted by the Fukushima and
Fukuoka/Saga, Japan transmitters include summer time data, summer time
currently is not implemented in Japan (as of 2006).
The default DST setting is Auto DST (AT) whenever you select LON,
PAR, BER, ATH, NYC, CHI, DEN, LAX, ANC, HNL, or TYO
as your Home City code.
If you experience problems receiving the time calibration signal in your
area, it probably is best to switch between Standard Time and Daylight
Saving Time (summer time) manually.

Radio-controlled Atomic Timekeeping Precautions

Strong electrostatic charge can result in the wrong time being set.
The time calibration signal bounces off the ionosphere. Because of this,
such factors as changes in the reflectivity of the ionosphere, as well as
movement of the ionosphere to higher altitudes due to seasonal
atmospheric changes or the time of day may change the reception range of
the signal and make reception temporarily impossible.
Even if the time calibration signal is received properly, certain conditions
can cause the time setting to be off by up to one second.
The current time setting in accordance with the time calibration signal takes
priority over any time settings you make manually.
The watch is designed to update the date and day of the week
automatically for the period January 1, 2001 to December 31, 2099. Setting
of the date by the time calibration signal cannot be performed starting from
January 1, 2100.
This watch can receive signals that differentiate between leap years and
non-leap years.
Though this watch is designed to receive both time data (hour, minutes,
seconds) and date data (year, month, day), certain signal conditions can
limit reception to time data only.
If you are in an area where proper time calibration signal reception is
impossible, the watch keeps time within 20 seconds a month at normal
temperature.
If you have problems with proper time calibration signal reception or if the
time setting is wrong after signal reception, check your current city code,
DST (summer time), and auto receive settings.
The Home City setting reverts to the initial default of BER (Berlin)
whenever the battery power level drops to Level 5 or when you have the
rechargeable battery replaced. If this happens, change the Home City to
the setting you want.
Transmitters
The time calibration signal received by this watch depends on the currently
selected Home City code.
When a U.S. time zone is selected, the watch receives the time calibration
signal transmitted from the United States (Fort Collins).
When a Japanese time zone is selected, the watch receives the time
calibration signal transmitted from Japan (Fukushima and Fukuoka/Saga).
When a European time zone is selected, the watch receives the time
calibration signals transmitted from Germany (Mainflingen) and England
(Rugby). The following tables show the reception priority for the European
signals.
When PAR, BER, or ATH is selected as the Home City code:

In this case:
The first signal search
operation after the Home City
code has been changed
The second and
subsequent signal searches
The watch does this:

1. Checks the Mainflingen signal first.
2. If the Mainflingen signal cannot be
received, checks the Rugby signal.
1. Checks the signal of the transmitter of the first
receive operation (Rugby or Mainflingen).
2. If the checked signal cannot be received,
checks the other signal.
When LON is selected as the Home City code:

In this case:
The first signal search
operation after the Home City
code has been changed
The second and
subsequent signal searches
The watch does this:

1. Checks the Rugby signal first.
2. If the Rugby signal cannot be received,
checks the Mainflingen signal.
1. Checks the signal of the transmitter of the first
receive operation (Rugby or Mainflingen).
2. If the checked signal cannot be received,
checks the other signal.
Timekeeping
Resetting the seconds to 00 while the current count is in the range of 30 to

59 causes the minutes to be increased by 1. In the range of 00 to 29, the
seconds are reset to 00 without changing the minutes.
With the 12-hour format, the P (PM) indicator appears on the display for
times in the range of noon to 11:59 p.m. and no indicator appears 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 modes.
The watchs built-in full automatic calendar makes allowances for different
month lengths and leap years. Once you set the date, there should be no
reason to change it except when battery power drops to Level 5.
The current time for all city codes in the Timekeeping Mode and World Time
Mode is calculated in accordance with the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
differential for each city, based on your Home City time setting.
GMT differential is calculated by this watch based on Universal Time
Coordinated (UTC) data.
Illumination Precautions
The electro-luminescent panel that provides illumination loses power after

very long use.
Illumination may be hard to see when viewed under direct sunlight.
Illumination turns off automatically whenever an alarm sounds.
The watch may emit an audible sound whenever the display is illuminated.
This is due to vibration of the EL panel used for illumination, and does not
indicate malfunction.
Frequent use of illumination runs down the battery.
Auto light switch precautions
The auto light switch is turned off automatically whenever battery power is
at Level 4.
Wearing the watch on the inside of your wrist, movement of your arm, or
vibration of your arm can cause frequent activation of the auto light switch
and illumination of the display. To avoid running down the battery, turn off
the auto light switch whenever engaging in activities that might cause
frequent illumination of the display.
Note that wearing the watch under your sleeve while the auto light switch is
turned on can cause frequent illumination of the display and can run down
the battery.
More than 15 degrees
too high
Illumination may not turn on if the face of the

watch is more than 15 degrees above or below
parallel. Make sure that the back of your hand
is parallel to the ground.
Illumination turns off in about one second, even
if you keep the watch pointed towards your
face.
Static electricity or magnetic force can interfere with proper operation of the
auto light switch. If illumination does not turn on, try moving the watch back
to the starting position (parallel with the ground) and then tilt it back towards
your face again. If this does not work, drop your arm all the way down so it
hangs at your side, and then bring it back up again.
Under certain conditions, illumination does not turn on until about one
second after you turn the face of the watch towards you. This does not
necessarily indicate malfunction.
You may notice a very faint clicking sound coming from the watch when it is
shaken back and forth. This sound is caused by mechanical operation of
the auto light switch, and does not indicate a problem with the watch.

City Code Table
Barometer and Thermometer Precautions
The pressure sensor built into this watch measures changes in air
pressure, which you can then apply to your own weather predictions. It is
not intended for use as a precision instrument in official weather prediction
or reporting applications.
Sudden temperature changes can affect pressure sensor readings.
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.
