Congratulations upon your selection of this CASIO watch.
Note that the product illustrations in this manual are intended for reference only, and so
x
the actual product may appear somewhat different than depicted by an illustration.
This watch does not have a city code that corresponds to the UTC offset of –3.5
hours. Because of this, the radio-controlled atomic timekeeping function will not
display the correct time for Newfoundland, Canada.
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.

When power drops to Level 4, all functions will be disabled but the watch willx
continue to keep time internally for about one week. If you recharge the battery
sufficiently during this period, the analog hands will move automatically to the
correct setting and regular timekeeping will resume. After one week, all settings
(including timekeeping) will be cleared. Recharging the battery will reset all settings
to their initial factory defaults.
Charging Guide
The charging guide causes the
x
Second Hand to perform movement that gives you
a rough idea of whether the watch needs to be exposed to light in order to charge the
battery.

Warning!
Leaving the watch in bright light for charging 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
x
Too close to an incandescent lampx
Under direct sunlightx
Important!
Keep the watch in an area normally exposed to bright light when storing it for long
x
periods. This helps to ensure that power does not run down.
Storing the watch for long periods in an area where there is no light or wearing it in
x
such a way that it is blocked from exposure to light can cause power to run down.
Make sure that the watch is exposed to bright light whenever possible.
E-16
Charging the Watch
The face of the watch is a solar panel that generates power from light. The generated
power charges a built-in rechargeable battery, which powers watch operations. The
watch charges whenever it is exposed to light.
Charging Guide
Whenever you are not
wearing the watch, be sure
to leave it in a location where
it is exposed to light.
Best charging performance
x
is achieved by exposing
the watch to light that is as
strong as possible.
When wearing the watch,
makes sure that its face is
not blocked from light by the
sleeve of your clothing.
The watch may enter a
x
sleep state (page E-23) if
its face is blocked by your
sleeve even only partially.

Even when the watch is within range of a transmitter, signal reception may bex
impossible due to the effects of geographic contours, structures, weather, the time
of year, the time of day, radio interference, etc. The signal becomes weaker at
distances of approximately 500 kilometers, which means that the influence of the
conditions listed above becomes even greater.
Signal reception may not be possible at the distances noted below during certain
x
times of the year or day. Radio interference may also cause problems with
reception.
Mainflingen (Germany) or Anthorn (England) transmitter: 500 kilometers (310 miles)−
Fort Collins (United States) transmitter: 600 miles (1,000 kilometers)−
Fukushima or Fukuoka/Saga (Japan) transmitter: 500 kilometers (310 miles)−
Shangqiu (China) transmitter: 500 kilometers (310 miles)−
As of December 2010, China does not use Daylight Saving Time (DST). If Chinax
does go to the Daylight Saving Time system in the future, some functions of this
watch may no longer operate correctly.
Using this watch in a country covered by a time calibration signal that is different
x
from the countries it supports may result in incorrect time indication due to local
application of daylight saving time, etc.

Radio Controlled Atomic Timekeeping
This watch receives a time calibration signal and updates its time setting accordingly.
However, when using the watch outside of areas covered by time calibration signals,
you will have to adjust the settings manually as required. See “Configuring Current
Time Settings Manually” (page E-46) for more information.
This section explains how the watch updates its time settings when the city code
selected as the Home City is in Japan, North America, Europe, or China, and is one
that supports time calibration signal reception.
E-24
To recover from the sleep state
Move the watch to a well-lit area, press the Abutton, or pull out the crown to the
first click.
It can take up to eight minutes for the watch to resume normal operation after
x
recovering from the sleep state. Do not perform any button operations during that
time.
E-23
Power Saving
A Power Saving feature causes the watch to enter a sleep state automatically
whenever it is left for a certain period in an area where it is dark.
How Power Saving works
The watch will enter the sleep state if it is left in a dark location for about one week.
In the sleep state:
x
All hands stop at 12 o’clock.−
Auto Receive is disabled.−
Internal timekeeping continues to operate normally.−
The watch will not enter a sleep state between 6:00 AM and 9:59 PM. If the watchx
is already in a sleep state when 6:00 AM arrives, however, it will remain in the sleep
state.

The current charging requirement is indicated whenever you push the crown backx
in from the first click.
Failure to expose the watch to light when charging is required will cause the charge
x
to be reduced even further.
The charging guide is based on a calculated value (not the actual battery charge).x
Because of this, the battery charge may go low even if the charging guide indicates
that immediate charging is not required. If this happens, expose the watch to light
as soon as possible to charge the battery.

Configuring Home City Settings
For your Home City, you should select one of the 24 cities in the City Code Table
that is in the same time zone as your current location. You also need to select either
standard time (STD) or daylight saving time (DST) in accordance with the use of
daylight saving time in your country or geographic area.
If you are in an area where time calibration signal reception is possible, setting
the wrong city as your Home City can make reception impossible or may result in
incorrect time settings.

Regular Timekeeping and World Time
Regular timekeeping is performed in accordance with the current Home City time,
which is determined by your current Home City and its daylight saving time setting.
Based on your Home City time, the watch also keeps track of the current time in 24
cities around the world (World Time).
If your currently selected Home City is one that supports time calibration signal
x
reception, the time setting will be automatically adjusted whenever a signal is
received.
If your Home City does not support signal reception, regular timekeeping is
x
performed like a normal quartz timepiece.
Important!
Whenever you are in an area where a signal cannot be received or if your Home
x
City does not support signal reception, you will need to configure time settings
manually. See “Configuring Current Time Settings Manually” (page E-46).

Coordinated Universal Time, the world-wide scientific standard of timekeeping. The*
reference point for UTC is Greenwich, England.
If you experience problems receiving the time calibration signal in your area,
x
it probably is best to switch between standard time and daylight saving time
manually (page E-45).
AUTO
Selecting this setting when your current Home City supports
time calibration signal reception will enable automatic
switching between standard time and daylight saving time
based on signal data.
STD (standard time) Switches to standard time.
DST (daylight saving time) Switches to daylight saving time.
E-43
Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time Settings
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), Anthorn
(England), or Fort Collins (the United States) include both standard time and daylight
saving time data.
Note that an
xAUTO setting will be indicated only if the currently selected city code
is one that supports calibration time signal reception. While AUTO is selected, the
watch will switch between STD and DST automatically in accordance with time
calibration signal data.
The initial default setting is
xAUTO when any one of the following city codes is
selected as the Home City code: LONDON (LON), PARIS (PAR), ATHENS (ATH),
NEW YORK (NYC), CHICAGO (CHI), DENVER (DEN), LOS ANGELES (LAX),
ANCHORAGE (ANC), or TOKYO (TYO).
E-42
Important!
If the area where you are located is under daylight saving time and you select
x
AUTO as the watch’s standard time/daylight saving time setting, the time shown
by the watch will be one hour behind the actual time until a time calibration signal
operation is performed successfully. If you are in an area where signal reception
is not possible for some reason, change the above setting to DST (daylight saving
time).
Note
You can select one of 24 cities around the globe as your Home City. Whenever you
x
change your Home City, the time setting will change automatically to the current
time in that city.

■ The current time setting is off by one hour.
The standard time/daylight saving time setting is wrong. See “Standard Time and
Daylight Saving Time Settings” (page E-43).
Second hand position and Home City indication are not correct.■
This could indicate that the watch has been exposed to magnetism or strong impact,
which has caused problems with proper hand alignment. Adjust the watch’s hand
home position alignment (page E-49).
Charging
■ The watch does not resume operation after I expose it to light.
This can happen after the battery charge level drops to Level 4 (page E-18). Continue
exposing the watch to light until the
x
Second Hand starts moving normally (at one-
second intervals).
E-54
The watch is recovering from a sleep state (page E-24).x
The time setting is being adjusted following a successful auto time calibrationx
signal receive operation (page E-25).
Nothing happens when I rotate the crown.■
Leaving the crown pulled out for more than two minutes without performing any
operation will automatically cause the setting operation to become disabled. If this
happens, press the crown back in and then pull it out again to configure settings. See
“Crown Operations” (page E-6).
Hand movement is stopped.■
The watch may have been exposed to magnetism, which will cause the hands to
stop at their current positions. Pull the crown out to the first click or press a button
to restart hand movement. If the indicated time is not correct, perform home position
adjustment. See “Adjusting Home Positions Manually” (page E-49).
■ The current time setting is off by hours.
Your Home City setting may be wrong. Check your Home City setting and correct it, if
necessary (page E-39).

Second Hand is moving in the pattern:
1 second 1 second 2 seconds.
The battery charge is starting to go low. Expose the watch to light to charge it. See
“Charging the Watch” (page E-16).
■ The
x
Second Hand is moving at two-second intervals.
■ All of the watch’s hands are stopped at 12 o’clock, and the Abutton and
crown do not do anything.
The battery charge may be low. Expose the watch to light until the
x
Second Hand
starts moving normally, at one-second intervals (page E-18).
■ The hands of the watch suddenly start moving at high speed, even when I do
not perform any operation.
This could be due to any one of the following causes. In all cases, the hand movement
does not indicate malfunction, and should stop shortly.
