Operation Guide 5371

ENGLISH
Congratulations upon your selection of this CASIO watch.

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.

Warning !
• The measurement functions built into this watch are not intended for taking measurements that
require professional or industrial precision. Values produced by this watch should be considered
as reasonable representations only.
• When engaging in mountain climbing or other activities in which losing your way can create a
dangerous or life-threatening situation, always use a second compass to confirm direction readings.
• Note that CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD. assumes no responsibility for any damage or loss
suffered by you or any third party arising through the use of this product or its malfunction.

To take a direction reading

1. Place the watch on a flat surface. If you are wearing the watch, make sure that your wrist is horizontal
(in relation to the horizon).
2. Point the 12 o’clock position of the watch in the direction whose reading you want to take.
3. In the Timekeeping Mode or any sensor mode, press A a number of times until COMP (Digital
Compass Mode) appears on the digital display.
• In a non-sensor mode, hold down B for about two seconds to enter the Timekeeping Mode. Next,
perform the above step.
• After you enter the Digital Compass Mode (COMP), the watch will start taking bearing readings.
• Starting a digital compass operation will cause the second hand to move momentarily to the
12 o’clock position. Following the digital compass operation, the second hand will point in the
direction of magnetic north. The bearing and direction angle will appear on the digital display.

• The difference between magnetic north and true north is called the
“declination”. The closer you get to the North Pole, the greater the
Earth declination angle.

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 readings are also impossible indoors, especially inside ferroconcrete structures. This is
because the metal framework of such structures picks up magnetism from appliances, etc.
