Getting Acquainted
Congratulations upon your selection of this CASIO watch. To get the most out of your
purchase, be sure to read this manual carefully.
• The actual level at which some functions are disabled depends on the watch model.
• Be sure to read “Power Supply” for important information you need to know
when exposing the watch to bright light.
• 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.
If the analog hands aren’t moving...
If the analog hands aren’t moving, it means that the power saving mode has stopped
them to save battery power.
• See “Power Saving” for more information.
• The hands also stop when the watch’s battery runs down.
Keep the watch exposed to bright light
The electricity generated by the solar cell of the watch is

stored by a built-in battery. Leaving or using the watch
where it is not exposed to light causes the battery to run
down. Make sure the watch is exposed to light as much as
possible.

• Each section of this manual provides you with the
information you need in order to perform operations in
each mode. Further details and technical information
can be found in the “Reference” section.
• The watch continues to operate, even when it is not exposed to light. Leaving the
watch in the dark can cause the battery to run down, which will result in some watch
functions to be disabled. If the battery goes dead, you will have to re-configure watch
settings after recharging. To ensure normal watch operation, be sure to keep it
exposed to light as much as possible.

Radio-controlled Atomic Timekeeping
This watch receives a time calibration signal and updates its time setting accordingly.
• Supported time calibration signals: Germany (Mainflingen), England (Anthorn),
United States (Fort Collins), Japan (Fukushima or Fukuoka/Saga)
• See the information under “Signal Reception Troubleshooting” if you experience
problems with time calibration signal reception.
• For full information on city codes, see the “City Code Table”.

Current Time Setting
This watch adjusts its time setting automatically in accordance with a time calibration
signal.You also can perform a manual procedure to set the time and date, when
necessary.
• In addition to the above, you also can select city codes that are outside the ranges
of the time calibration signal transmitters supported by this watch.
• Note that this watch does not have a city code that corresponds to Newfoundland.
3. After the Home City setting is the way you want, press A to return to the
Timekeeping Mode.
• Normally, your watch should show the correct time as soon as you specify your
Home City code. If it does not, it should adjust automatically after the next auto
receive operation.You also can perform manual receive or you can set the time
manually.
• Even if the time calibration signal is received correctly, there are some times when
the analog hands may not indicate the correct time. If this happens, use the
procedures under “Adjusting the Home Positions” to check the home positions of the
hands, and make adjustments as required.
• The first thing you should do after purchasing this watch is to specify your
Home City, which is the city where you normally will use the watch. For more
information, see “To specify your Home City”.
• When using the watch outside the areas covered by the time signal transmitters, you
will have to adjust the current time setting manually as required. See “Timekeeping”
for more information about manual time settings.
• The U.S. time calibration signal can be picked up by the watch while in North
America. The term “North America” in this manual refers to the area that consists of
Canada, the continental United States, and Mexico.
To specify your Home City
1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down A for about five
seconds until the watch beeps twice.
Daylight SavingTime (DST)
• The stopwatch second hand will move to the city code
of the currently selected Home City. This is the city
code setting mode.
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 second hand will stop at “0”.*
The time calibration signals transmitted from Mainflingen (Germany), Anthorn
(England), or Fort Collins (the United States) include both Standard Time and DST
data. When the Auto DST setting is turned on, the watch switches between Standard
Time and DST (summer time) automatically in accordance with the signals.
• Though the time calibration signal transmitted by the Fukushima and Fukuoka/Saga,
Japan transmitters include summer time data, summer time currently is not
implemented in Japan (as of 2007).
• The default DST setting is Auto DST (AT/AUTO) whenever you select LON, PAR,
ATH, ANC, LAX, DEN, CHI, NYC, or TYO as your Home City code.
• If you experience problems receiving the time calibration signal in your area, it
probably is best to switch between Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time
(summer time) manually. For more information, see “To set the time and date
manually”.
* Some models show “60” instead of “0”.
2. Use D to move the stopwatch second hand to the city
code you want to use as your Home City.
• Each press of D causes the stopwatch second hand
to advance clockwise to the next city code.
• Time calibration signal reception is supported when
any one of the city codes shown in the table below is
selected as your Home City.

Reference
• 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 rechargeable battery
power to run down. Make sure that the watch is exposed to bright light whenever
possible.
This section contains more detailed and technical information about watch operation.
It also contains important precautions and notes about the various features and
functions of this watch.
• This watch uses a special rechargeable battery to store power produced by the solar
cell, so regular battery replacement is not required. However, after very long use, the
rechargeable battery may lose its ability to achieve a full charge. If you experience
problems getting the special rechargeable battery to charge fully, contact your dealer
or CASIO distributor about having it replaced.
• The special rechargeable (secondary) battery used by your watch is not intended to
be removed or replaced by you. Use of a rechargeable battery other than the special
one specified for this watch can damage the watch.

or three minutes without performing any operation, it returns to the Timekeeping
Mode automatically.
• If you do not perform any operation for about two or three minutes while a setting
mode is selected, the watch will exit the setting mode automatically.
• The current time and all other settings return to their initial factory defaults whenever
battery power drops to Level 3 and when you have the battery replaced.
• Keep the watch in an area normally exposed to bright light when storing it for long
periods. This helps to keep the rechargeable battery from going dead.
High-Speed Movement
• The D and B buttons are used to change the hand setting in various setting
modes. In most cases, holding down these buttons will start high-speed movement
of the applicable hand(s) and day.
• High-speed movement of hands and day will continue until you press any button, or
until the moving hand(s) and day finishes one complete cycle.
- One complete cycle for the hands is one revolution (360 degrees) of the hour
hand, or 24 hours.
Battery Power Levels
The movement of the analog hands indicates the current battery power level.

• High-speed hand movement also is triggered by changing from one mode to
another, changing a World Time Mode setting (changing the World Time city in the
World Time Mode, swapping the World Time city and Home city), etc.
• All buttons (except for the C button for changing modes) are disabled during a high-
speed hand or date operation.You will be able to perform button operations again
after high-speed operation is stopped.

Radio-controlled Atomic Timekeeping Precautions
• Strong electrostatic charge can result in the wrong time being set.
• The time calibration signal bounces off the ionosphere. Because of this, such factors
as changes in the reflectivity of the ionosphere, as well as movement of the
ionosphere to higher altitudes due to seasonal atmospheric changes or the time of
day may change the reception range of the signal and make reception temporarily
impossible.
stopped at 12 o’clock.
Jumps two seconds
• The second hand jumping every two seconds (Level 2) indicates that battery power
is quite low. Expose the watch to light as soon as possible to charge the battery.
• When battery power is at Level 2, time calibration signal reception is disabled.
• At Level 3, all functions are disabled and settings return to their initial factory
defaults. The watch will continue to keep time internally for about one month after the
battery drops to Level 3. If you recharge the battery sufficiently during this period,
the analog hands will move automatically to the correct setting and normal
timekeeping will resume.
• Alarm operation can cause hand movement to stop due to a sudden temporary drop
in battery power. This does not indicate malfunction, and normal operation will
resume when the watch is exposed to light.Though hand movement stops,
timekeeping continues internally, and the hands will be adjusted to the correct
setting when normal operation returns.
• Even if the time calibration signal is received properly, certain conditions can cause
the time setting to be off by up to one second.
• The current time setting in accordance with the time calibration signal takes priority
over any time settings you make manually.
• The watch is designed to update the date and day of the week automatically for the
period January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2099. Setting of the date by the time
calibration signal will not be performed starting from January 1, 2100.
• This watch can receive signals that differentiate between leap years and non-leap
years.
• Though this watch is designed to receive both time data (hour, minutes, seconds)
and date data (year, month, day), certain signal conditions can limit reception to time
data only.
Charging Precautions
• If you are in an area where proper time calibration signal reception is impossible, the
watch keeps time with the precision noted in “Specifications”.
Certain charging conditions can cause the watch to become very hot. Avoid leaving
the watch in the areas described below whenever charging its rechargeable battery.
Timekeeping
Warning!
• The year can be set in the range of 2000 to 2099.
Leaving the watch in bright light to charge its rechargeable battery 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.
• The watch’s built-in full automatic calendar makes allowances for different month
lengths and leap years. Once you set the date, there should be no reason to change
it except after you have the watch’s battery replaced or when battery power drops to
Level 3.
• The date will change automatically when the current time reaches midnight. The
date change at the end of the month may take more time than normal.
• The current time for all time zones in the Timekeeping Mode and World Time Mode
is calculated in accordance with the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) offset of
each zone, based on your Home Time Zone time setting.
• On the dashboard of a car parked in direct sunlight
• Too close to an incandescent lamp
• Under direct sunlight
• UTC is the world-wide scientific standard of timekeeping. It is based upon carefully
maintained atomic (cesium) clocks that keep time accurately to within microseconds.
Leap seconds are added or subtracted as necessary to keep UTC in sync with the
Earth’s rotation. The reference point for UTC is Greenwich, England.

Power Saving
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.
• There actually are two sleep state levels: “second hand sleep” and “function sleep”.
Elapsed Time in Dark
Operation
60 to 70 minutes
(second hand sleep)
Second hand only is stopped, all other functions are
enabled.
6 or 7 days
(function sleep)
• All functions, including analog timekeeping, disabled
• Internal timekeeping maintained
• Wearing the watch inside the sleeve of clothing can cause it to enter the sleep state.
• The watch will not enter the sleep state between 6:00 AM and 9:59 PM. If the watch
is already in the sleep state when 6:00 AM arrives, however, it will remain in the
sleep state.
To recover from the sleep state
Perform any one of the following operations.
• Move the watch to a well-lit area.
• Press any button.
