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 only partially covered.

•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.

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 only partially
covered.
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. Make sure that the watch is normally 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 watch’s special battery yourself. Use of the wrong
type of battery can damage the watch.
•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 watch’s 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.

•The LOW indicator flashes on the display in the Timekeeping Mode when battery is
at Level 3.
•The LOW indicator at Level 3 and the flashing charge indicator (CHG) at Level 4 tell
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. Functions are enabled once again after the rechargeable battery is
charged, but you need to set the time and date, after the battery reaches Level 4
(indicated by the flashing charge indicator) from Level 5. You will not be able to
configure any of the other settings until the battery reaches Level 3 (no charge
indicator) after dropping to Level 5.
•
Leaving the watch in direct sunlight or some other very strong light source can cause the
battery power indicator to show a reading that is momentarily higher than the actual
battery level. The correct battery power indicator should appear after a few minutes.
•If you use the light or alarms a number of times during a short period, the recover
indicator ( ) appears and the following operations become disabled until battery
power recovers.
Illumination
Beeper tone
After some time, battery power will recover and the recover indicator will disappear,
indicating that the above functions are enabled again.
Charging Precautions
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.
•On the dashboard of a car parked in direct sunlight
•Too close to an incandescent lamp
•Under direct sunlight

Initial Screens
When you enter the World Time Mode, the data you were viewing when you last exited
the mode appears first.
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.
•The day of the week is automatically displayed in accordance with the date (year,
month, and day) settings.
•The year can be set in the range of 2000 to 2099.
•The watch’s 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 after you have the watch’s battery replaced or 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.
•The times for the Timekeeping Mode and all the city codes of the World Time Mode
are calculated in accordance with each city’s UTC differential.
•The UTC differential is a value that indicates the time difference between a
reference point in Greenwich, England and the time zone where a city is located.
•The letters “UTC”is the abbreviation for “Universal Time Coordinated”, 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.
12-hour/24-hour Timekeeping Formats
The 12-hour/24-hour timekeeping format you select in the Timekeeping Mode is also
applied in all other modes.
•With the 12-hour format, the PM indicator (PM) 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.
Illumination Precautions
•Illumination may be hard to see when viewed under direct sunlight.
•Illumination automatically turns off whenever an alarm sounds.
•Frequent use of illumination runs down the battery.
