Getting Acquainted
Congratulations upon your selection of this CASIO watch. To get the most out of your
purchase, be sure to carefully read this manual and keep it on hand for later reference
when necessary.
Expose the watch to bright light to charge its battery before using it.
You can use this watch even as its battery is being charged by exposure to bright
light.
•
Be sure to read “Battery” of this manual for important information you need to
know when exposing the watch to bright light.
If the display of the watch is blank...
If the
SLEEP
indicator is on the display, it means that the
display is blank because the watch’s Power Saving
function has turned off the display to conserve power.
Power Saving automatically turns off the display and puts
the watch into a sleep state whenever your watch is left for
a certain period where it is dark.
•
The initial factory default setting is Power Saving on.
•
The watch recovers from the sleep state if you move it to
a well-lit area
*
, if you press any button, or if you angle
the watch towards your face for reading.
*
It can take up to five seconds for the display to turn on.

See “Power Saving Function” for more information.
Warning!
•
The longitude, lunitidal interval, Moon phase indicator, tide graph data, and solar
azimuth data that appear on the display of this watch are not intended for
navigation purposes. Always use proper instruments and resources to obtain data
for navigation purposes.
•
This watch is not an instrument for calculating low tide and high tide times. The
tide graph of this watch is intended to provide a reasonable approximation of tidal
movements only.
•
When engaging in mountain climbing or other activities in which losing your way
can create a dangerous or life-threatening situation, always be sure to use a
second compass to confirm direction readings.

Home Site Data
Moon phase, tide graph data, Bearing Mode solar azimuth data, and Moon/Tide Data
Mode data will not be displayed properly unless Home Site data (GMT differential,
longitude, and lunitidal interval) is configured correctly.
•
The GMT differential is the time difference of the time zone where the site is located
from Greenwich Mean Time.
•
Note that you must add one hour to the GMT differential for your time zone
whenever you change to Daylight Saving Time. Subtract one hour when you change
back to Standard Time.
•
The lunitidal interval is the time elapsing between the Moon’s transit over a meridian
and the next high tide at that meridian. See “Lunitidal Interval” for more information.
•
This watch displays lunitidal intervals in terms of hours and minutes.
•
The “Site Data List” and “Lunitidal Interval List” provide
GMT differential, longitude,
and lunitidal interval information around the world.
•
The following is the initial factory default Home Site data (Tokyo, Japan) when you
first purchase the watch, whenever battery power drops to Level 5, and whenever
you have the battery replaced. Change these settings to match the area where you
normally use the watch.
GMT differential (+9.0); Longitude (East 140 degrees); Lunitidal interval (5 hours,
