Operation Guide 5089
Important!
Congratulations upon your selection of this CASIO watch.
• Keep the watch in an area normally exposed to bright light when storing it for long
periods. This helps to ensure that power does not run down.
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.
• 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 power to run down.
Make sure that the watch is exposed to bright light whenever possible.
Power Levels
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.
You can get an idea of the watch’s power level by
observing the movement of the xSecond Hand in the
Timekeeping Mode.
B
+
• If the xSecond Hand is moving normally at one-second
intervals, power is at Level 1.
• If the xSecond Hand is moving at two-second intervals,
power is at Level 2, which is quite low. Expose the watch
to light as soon as possible so it can charge.

• When power drops to Level 3, all functions will be disabled but the watch will
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.
This User’s Guide uses numbers shown above to identify watch hands and indicators.
Things to check before using the watch
Power Recovery Mode
1. Hold down C for about two seconds to enter the Timekeeping Mode, and
then observe the movement of the xSecond Hand.
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 overuse
of the alarm tone over a short period. Note that all operations are disabled while the
watch is in the power recovery mode.
Is the xSecond Hand moving smoothly at one-second intervals?
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.
NO
YES
The watch is charged sufficiently.

Important!
Proper time calibration signal reception and World Time settings depend on correct
Home City, time, and date settings in the Timekeeping Mode. Make sure you
configure these settings correctly.
3. Set the current time.
Power Saving
• To set the time using a time calibration signal
See “To get ready for a receive operation”.
• To set the time manually
Power Saving enters a sleep state automatically whenever the watch is left for a
certain period in an area where it is dark. The table below shows how watch functions
are affected by Power Saving.
See “Configuring Current Time and Date Settings Manually”.
• There actually are two sleep state levels: “second hand sleep” and “function sleep”.
The watch is now ready for use.
• For details about the watch’s radio controlled timekeeping feature, see “Radio
Controlled Atomic Timekeeping”.

Charging the Watch
• The watch will not enter a sleep state between 6:00 AM and 9:59 PM. If the watch
is already in a sleep state when 6:00 AM arrives, however, it will remain in the sleep
state.
The face of the watch is a solar cell 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.
• The watch will not enter a sleep state while it is in the Stopwatch Mode.
Charging Guide
To recover from the sleep state
Move the watch to a well-lit area or press any button.
Whenever you are not
wearing the watch, leave
it in a location where it is
exposed to light.
When wearing the watch,
make sure that its face is
not blocked from light by the
sleeve of your clothing.
• The watch may enter a
sleep state if its face is
blocked by your sleeve
even only partially.
• Best charging
Radio Controlled Atomic Timekeeping
performance is achieved
by exposing the watch to
light that is as strong as
possible.
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 Date Settings Manually” 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.
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
• Too close to an incandescent lamp
• Under direct sunlight

• The Stopwatch Mode can indicate elapsed time up to 23 minutes, 59.99 seconds.
• In the following cases, the hands of the watch are moving, so pressing D or B will
not perform any stopwatch operation.
− While the hands are moving to elapsed timekeeping after you enter the Stopwatch
Mode
− While the watch is changing dates at midnight
• Once started, stopwatch timing continues until you press B to stop it, even if you
exit the Stopwatch Mode to another mode or timing reaches the stopwatch limit
defined above.
• In this example, you would move the xSecond Hand
to NYC in order to select New York as the World
Time City.
• Wait until the nRight Dial Hands complete their
move to the time in the currently selected World Time
City. You will not be able to perform step 2 of this
procedure until the hands stop moving.
• Whenever you enter the Stopwatch Mode, the hands of the watch move to their
initial Stopwatch Mode positions. If you did not reset the stopwatch the last time you
used it, the hands will return to the positions they were in the last time you exited
the Stopwatch Mode.
• The xSecond Hand indicates the 1/10-second count for the first 30 seconds of
a stopwatch elapsed time operation. After that, the hand stops at 0. 1/10-second
timing continues internally after the first 30 seconds, and the xSecond Hand will
jump to the current value whenever B (Stop) or D (Split) is pressed.
• Though the vLeft Dial Hand is stopped while an elapsed time measurement
operation is in progress, the watch keeps track of the 1/100-second count
internally. The vLeft Dial Hand will jump to the current 1/100-second reading
whenever you stop the stopwatch or perform a split time operation.

This can happen after the power level drops to Level 3. Continue exposing the watch
to light until the xSecond Hand starts moving normally (at one-second intervals).
vLeft Dial Hand
• When adjusting a hand or the date home position, it is recommended that after
you move to a proper home position, you press B to move the setting back one
step. Next, press D again to return it to the home position. This helps to ensure
better home position adjustment accuracy.
■■ꢀThe xSecond Hand starts to move at one-second intervals, but then suddenly
returns to moving at two-second intervals.
The watch probably is not sufficiently charged yet. Continue keeping it exposed to
light.

home position, press C. This will switch to zHour
Hand and cMinute Hand home position adjustment.
• The zHour Hand and cMinute Hand are at their
proper home positions if they both move to 12 o’clock.
The b24-hour Hand also will move along with
zHour Hand movement, and cannot be adjusted
individually. If the hands are not positioned correctly,
use D (+) and B (–) to move them to their proper
home positions.
The information in this section applies only when LON, PAR, ATH, HNL, ANC, LAX,
DEN, CHI, NYC, HKG, or TYO is selected as the Home City. You need to adjust the
current time manually when any other city is selected as the Home City.
■■ꢀThe xSecond Hand indicates NO (N) when I check the result of the latest
receive operation.
Possible Cause
Remedy
• You are wearing or moving the watch, or
performing a button operation during the
signal receive operation.
• The watch is in an area with poor
reception conditions.
Keep the watch in an area where reception
conditions are good while the signal receive
operation is being performed.
4. After confirming that the zHour Hand and cMinute
Hand are in their correct home positions, press C.
This will switch to nRight Dial Hands home position
adjustment.

You are in an area where signal reception
is not possible for some reason.
See “Approximate Reception Ranges”.
• The nRight Dial Hands are at their proper home positions if they both move
to 24. If the hands are not positioned correctly, use D (+) and B (–) to move
them to 24.
• Check the website of the organization that
maintains the time calibration signal in your
area for information about its down times.
The calibration signal is not being
transmitted for some reason.
• Try again later.
