E-7C
xEven if you are unable to perform a GPS signal and/or time calibration signal receive operation for
some reason, the watch will keep time with average monthly accuracy of ±15 seconds.
Important!
xIf the current time and day setting is wrong after you perform one of the procedures under “Time
Calibration Signal Auto Receive”, “GPS Signal Auto Receive”, or “Receiving GPS Time Information”, try
acquiring position information (GPS) and then perform the time/day setting procedure again.
xIf you feel that the current time and/or day indicator are not in the correct positions, you can adjust
their alignment. For details, see the Operation Guide available at the CASIO website.
xTime calibration signal reception is normally possible in the areas below.
Japan, China, North America, Europe
For details, see the Operation Guide available at the CASIO website.
xFor details about the following operations, see the Operation Guide available at the CASIO website:

Timekeeping (Current Time and Day Adjustment)
● For information about how to adjust time using a phone, refer to the Operation Guide available
at the website below.
https://world.casio.com/manual/wat/
● After purchasing the watch, perform the procedure under “Acquiring GPS Position Information”
(page E-12).
● To set the current time and day, normally use the procedure under “Time Calibration Signal Auto
Receive” (page E-16). In areas where a time calibration signal cannot be received for some reason,
set the current time and day using the procedure under “GPS Signal Auto Receive” (page E-14).
xLate night (between midnight and 5:00 a.m.): The receive operation starts at regular intervals until
receive is successful (Time Calibration signal).
xDaytime (between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.): The receive operation will start automatically when
the watch is continually expose to light (GPS).
xOnce a time calibration or GPS signal receive operation is successful, no more Auto Receive
operations are performed that day.
●● If the current time setting is not correct, perform the procedure under “Receiving GPS Time
Information” (page E-13).
● If you move into another time zone, perform the procedure under “Acquiring GPS Position
Information”. Next, perform one of the procedures under “Time Calibration Signal Auto
Receive”, “GPS Signal Auto Receive”, or “Receiving GPS Time Information” to set the current
time and day.

Charging the Watch
xWhen you are not wearing the watch, leave it where its face (solar panel) is
exposed to bright light for charging.
xTo help ensure stable operation, expose the face of the watch to about a half
day of direct sunlight each month to charge it.
xWhile wearing the watch, take care so your sleeve does not block its face
(solar panel) from light. Charging efficiency may be reduced if the face (solar
panel) is blocked from light, even partially.
Caution
xThe case of the watch may become extremely hot when charging. Guard against burn injury.
Power Saving
xLeaving the watch in a dark location for about one hour between 10:00 p.m. and 5:50 a.m. will cause
the second hand to stop.
xLeaving the watch in a dark location for about one week will cause all hands to stop.
Battery Alerts
xLow Battery
Second hand jumps every two seconds (Low Battery Alert).
xDead Battery
All hands stopped.

Timekeeping (Based on a Time Calibration Signal)
Appropriate Signal Reception Location (Time Calibration Signal)
xKeep the watch away from metal and position it so its 6 o’clock side is
facing a window. Avoid moving the watch as much as possible and do
not perform any watch operations while a signal receive operation is in
progress.
● You may experience time calibration signal reception problems in
the areas described below.
-Among or near buildings
-While riding in a vehicle
-Near household appliances, office machines, mobile phones, etc.
-On a construction site, in an airport, or any other location where radio
wave interference occurs
-Near high-voltage lines
-In mountainous areas or behind a mountain
xAlways check the time setting on the day there should be a switch
between standard time and summer time (DST). If the setting is not
correct (due to signal reception failure), turn DST on or off manually as
required.

GPS Signal Auto Receive
Important!
xPerform the signal receive operation in the Timekeeping Mode (not in the Airplane Mode). See “Mode
Reference Guide” (page E-8).
● GPS signal time information is received automatically whenever all of the conditions described
below are satisfied.
-The current time is between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.
-The face of the watch has been exposed continuously for about one or two minutes to light
equivalent to the brightness near a window on a clear day.
-All time calibration signal receive operations performed during the previous night were unsuccessful.

◆Receiving GPS Time Information
Perform this operation when you suspect that the time normally indicated by the watch is not correct.
xIf the GPS signal time information receive operation is successful, the watch will automatically adjust
the current time and day settings of the Home City (time zone).
Important!
xPerform this operation in the Timekeeping Mode (not in the Airplane Mode). See “Mode Reference
Guide” (page E-8).
1. Move to a location appropriate for signal reception and orient the
watch so its display is pointed straight up at the sky. See “Appropriate
Signal Reception Location (GPS Signal)” (page E-11).
2. Hold down Buntil the second hand moves to T (TIME). Release
Bafter the second hand reaches T (TIME). This will start time info
reception.
xReception normally takes anywhere from six seconds to 60seconds.
It can take as long as 13 minutes.
xWhen the receive operation is successful, the watch will adjust its
current time and day settings automatically.
xThis operation requires large amounts of power. Perform it only
when necessary.

Performing a GPS Signal Receive Operation Manually
◆Acquiring GPS Position Information
When position information is acquired successfully, the watch is able to determine its current location
and adjust its time and day setting accordingly.
Important!
xPerform this operation in the Timekeeping Mode (not in the Airplane Mode). See “Mode Reference
Guide” (page E-8).
1. Move to a location appropriate for signal reception and orient the watch so its face is pointing straight
upwards.
xSee “Appropriate Signal Reception Location (GPS Signal)” (page E-11).
2. Hold down Buntil the second hand moves to T (TIME). Release
Bafter the second hand reaches T (TIME). Pressing Bagain will
cause the second hand to move to T+P and start location information
acquisition.
xPosition information reception takes anywhere from about
30seconds to 80 seconds. It can take as long as 13 minutes.
xSuccessful acquisition of position information will automatically
display the time and day for the resulting location.
xPosition information acquisition requires large amounts of power.
Perform the acquisition operation only when it is required.
