Charging the Watch
Remove the watch from your wrist and place it in a brightly lit area.
xThe watch may become hot when exposed to light for charging. Take care to avoid burn injury.
xAvoid charging in locations where it is very hot.
Power Saving
xLeaving the watch in a dark locations for about one hour between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. will
cause PS to flash on the display. All functions will continue operation.
xLeaving the watch in a dark location for about one week will cause PS to remain on the display without
flashing. Only the timekeeping function will continue operation.
Battery Alerts
When battery power goes low, a warning message (LOW or CHG) appears on the display and
certain functions become disabled. When a warning message appears, charge the watch as soon
as possible.

Important!
xKeep the watch’s face exposed to light as much as possible (page E-4).
xThis manual provides a brief overview of your watch.
Important Altimeter and Compass Information!
xThe Altimeter Mode displays relative altitude based on barometric pressure readings. Readings taken
at different times at the same location may produce different values due to changes in pressure. The
value displayed by the watch may be different from the actual elevation and/or sea level elevation of
your location.
xWhen using the Altimeter Mode for mountain climbing or other activities, it is highly recommended that
you check a map, local altitude indications, or some other source for your current correct altitude, and
that you regularly calibrate the Altimeter Mode.
xWhen using the watch compass for serious trekking or climbing always take along another compass
to confirm readings. If watch readings are different from the other compass, perform bidirectional
calibration of the watch compass.
xDirection readings and calibration will not be possible if the watch is near a permanent magnet
(magnetic accessory, etc.), metal objects, high-voltage wires, aerial wires, or electrical appliances (TV,
computer, cellphone, etc.)
xCalibration: Operation Guide available at the CASIO website.
