ENGLISH
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.

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 and Day Settings Manually” (page E-41) 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-18

When power drops to Level 3, all settings (including timekeeping) will be cleared.x
Recharging the battery will reset all settings to their initial factory defaults.
When the watch is at Level 3, exposing it to light for a while will cause thex
x
Second
Hand to move to the position of second 57. This indicates that charging has started.
Power Recovery Mode
The watch is designed to go into a power recovery mode that stops hand operation
temporarily whenever power suddenly drops below a certain level due to continuous
signal reception or other operations over a short period. Note that all operations are
disabled while the watch is in the power recovery mode.
The hands will move to the correct positions and the watch will resume normal
operation after power recovers (in about 15 minutes). Putting the watch in a location
where it is exposed to light will help power to recover sooner.
E-15
Low Power
Low power conditions are indicated by the movement of
the
x
Second Hand in the Timekeeping Mode.
If thex
x
Second Hand is moving normally at one-second
intervals, power is at Level 1.
If the
x
x
Second Hand is moving at two-second intervals,
power is at Level 2, which is quite low. Expose the watch

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-11
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
x
performance 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-18)
if its face is blocked by
your sleeve even only
partially.

STD The watch always shows standard time.
DST The watch always shows daylight saving time.
E-38
STD/DST Switching
You can select summer time or standard time independently for each city. The initial
default setting for all cities is AUTO.
Normally you should use the AUTO setting because it automatically switches between
summer time and standard time. You should change the setting to STD (standard
time) or DST (summer time) in the following cases.
When using a time of a location that is not included in the watch’s list of 29 cities
−
When the preset AUTO standard time/summer time timing is incorrect for some−
reason
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.
Note that you cannot switch between
xSTD (standard time) and DST (daylight
saving time) while UTC* is selected as your Home City.

Second Hand starts moving
normally, at one-second intervals (page E-15).
■ 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.
The watch is recovering from a sleep state (page E-18).
