●Mode Hand and Day Indicator
Movement
Changing the day setting of the watch will also
cause the mode hand to move.
●Day
●It can take anywhere from about one minute
to three minutes for the day indicator to
change after timekeeping reaches
midnight. The mode hand moves as the day
indicator changes.
●The day may not be indicated correctly while
the watch’s crown is pulled out.
Solar Charging
What is solar charging?
This watch runs on power supplied from a
rechargeable (secondary) battery that is
charged by a solar panel. The solar panel is
integrated into the face of the watch, and
power is generated whenever the face is
exposed to light.
●This watch uses a special rechargeable
(secondary) battery.
ーThe watch’s battery will not charge if the
watch’s temperature is less than
approximately -10°C (14°F) or greater
than approximately 60°C (140°F).
ーOver-discharge will occur if the watch is
not charged within approximately three
months after it stops operation due to low
battery power. Charging may not be
possible after over-discharge occurs.
Charging the Watch
When you are not wearing the watch, put it in
a location where it is exposed to bright light.
While you are wearing the watch, make sure
that its face (solar panel) is not blocked from
the light by the sleeve of your clothing. Power
generation efficiency is reduced even when
the face of the watch is blocked only partially.
NOYES
Important!
●If the second hand stops for some
time after the watch is continuously
exposed to light, it could mean that
charging is not possible due to over-
discharge. Request chargeable
(secondary) battery replacement by
your original retailer or authorized
CASIO service center.
●Depending on light intensity and
local conditions, the watch may
become hot to the touch when
exposed to light for charging. Take
care to avoid burn injury after
charging. Also, avoid charging the
watch under high-temperature
conditions like the ones described
below.
ーOn the dashboard of a vehicle
parked in the sun
ーNear an incandescent light bulb or
other source of heat
ーUnder direct sunlight or in other
hot areas for long periods
Note
●Exposing the watch face to light after
the battery goes dead will cause the
second hand to revolve
counterclockwise until it stops at
second 57. This indicates charging
has started.
●A fully charged watch can operate
for approximately seven months
without further charging. Watch
operation will stop approximately 20
days after the battery goes low.

Adjusting Time
Settings Manually
You can use the procedure below to adjust the
watch’s time and day settings when GPS and
time calibration signal reception is not
possible for some reason.
Selecting a Time Zone
Use the procedure in this section to select a
city (time zone) to use as your Home City. If
you are in an area that observes summer time,
you can also enable or disable summer time.
Note
●The initial factory default summer
time setting for all cities (time zones)
is “AT (AUTO)”. In many cases, the
“AT (AUTO)” setting lets you use the
watch without switching between
summer time and standard time.
●In the cases described below,
receiving GPS position information
will automatically cause “AT
(AUTO)” to be selected for the
summer time setting.
ーWhen the time zone of the current
receive operation is different from
the watch’s time zone setting prior
to the receive operation.
ーWhen the time zone is
unchanged, but the acquired
position information is for a
geographic area with different
summer time rules (start date, end
date)
1. Pull out the crown to the second click.
The second hand will move to the
currently selected time zone.

Summer Time
Summer time, which is also known as Daylight
Saving Time (DST), advances the time setting
one hour, 30 minutes, or some other amount
of time from standard time (STD) during the
summer months. Whether or not and how
summer time is used depends on your country
or local area. Summer time is not used in some
countries and local areas.
