•
If
ERR
appears while a measurement operation is being performed in a
sensor mode, restart the measurement. If
ERR
appears on the display
again, it can mean there is something wrong with the sensor.
•
Even if battery power is at Level 1 or Level 2, the Digital Compass Mode,
Barometer/Thermometer Mode, or Altimeter Mode sensor may be disabled
if there is not enough voltage available to power it sufficiently. In this case,
ERR
will appear on the display. This does not indicate malfunction, and
sensor operation should resume once battery voltage returns to its normal
level.
•
If
ERR
keeps appearing during measurement, it could mean there is a
problem with the applicable sensor.
Whenever you have a sensor malfunction, be sure to take the watch to
your original dealer or nearest authorized CASIO distributor as soon as
possible.
Power Saving
When turned on, Power Saving automatically
enters a sleep state 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 are actually two sleep state levels:
“display sleep” and “function sleep”.
Elapsed Time in

Operation
Display is off, but all functions are
enabled.
All functions are disabled, but
timekeeping is 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 while the digital time is between
6:00 AM and 9:59 PM. If the watch is already in the sleep state when the
digital time reaches 6:00 AM, however, it will remain in the sleep state.
•
The watch will not enter the sleep state while it is in the Countdown Timer
or Stopwatch Mode.
To recover from the sleep state
Perform any one of the following operations.
•
Move the watch to a well-lit area. It can take up to two seconds for the
display to turn on.
•
Press any button.
•
Angle the watch towards your face for readings.
To turn Power Saving on and off
1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down
E
until
the city code starts to flash, which indicates
the setting screen.
2. Press
D
nine times until the Power Saving
on/off screen appears.
3. Press
C
to toggle Power Saving on (
ON
) and
off (
OFF
).
4. Press
E
to exit the setting screen.
•
The Power Saving on indicator (
PS
) is on the
display in all modes while Power Saving is
turned on.

Timekeeping
•
Resetting the seconds to
00
while the current count is in the range of 30 to
59 causes the minutes to be increased by 1. In the range of 00 to 29, the
seconds are reset to
00
without changing the minutes.
•
With the 12-hour format, the
P
(PM) indicator appears on the display for
times in the range of noon to 11:59 p.m. and no indicator appears for times
in the range of midnight to 11:59 a.m.
•
With the 24-hour format, times are displayed in the range of 0:00 to 23:59,
without any indicator.
Illumination Precautions
•
The electro-luminescent panel that provides illumination loses power after
very long use.
•
Illumination may be hard to see when viewed under direct sunlight.
•
Illumination automatically turns off whenever an alarm sounds.
•
The watch may emit an audible sound whenever the display is illuminated.
This is due to vibration of the EL panel used for illumination, and does not
indicate malfunction.
•
Frequent use of illumination runs down the battery.
Auto light switch precautions
•
Wearing the watch on the inside of your wrist, movement of your arm, or
vibration of your arm can cause frequent activation of the auto light switch
and illumination of the display. To avoid running down the battery, turn off
the auto light switch whenever engaging in activities that might cause
frequent illumination of the display.
•
Note that wearing the watch under your sleeve while the auto light switch is
turned on can cause frequent illumination of the display and can run down
the battery.
•
Illumination may not turn on if the face of the
watch is more than 15 degrees above or below
parallel. Make sure that the back of your hand
is parallel to the ground.
•
Illumination turns off after the preset
illumination duration (see “To specify the
illumination duration”), even if you keep the
watch pointed towards your face.
•
Static electricity or magnetic force can interfere with proper operation of the
auto light switch. If illumination does not turn on, try moving the watch back
to the starting position (parallel with the ground) and then tilt it back towards
your face again. If this does not work, drop your arm all the way down so it
hangs at your side, and then bring it back up again.
•
Under certain conditions, illumination does not turn on until about one
second after you turn the face of the watch towards you. This does not
necessarily indicate malfunction.
•
You may notice a very faint clicking sound coming from the watch when it is
shaken back and forth. This sound is caused by mechanical operation of the
auto light switch, and does not indicate a problem with the watch.
More than 15 degrees
too high
Digital Compass Precautions
This watch features a built-in magnetic bearing sensor that detects terrestrial
magnetism. This means that north indicated by this watch is magnetic north,
which is somewhat different from true polar north. The magnetic north pole is
located in northern Canada, while the magnetic south pole is in southern
Australia. Note that the difference between magnetic north and true north as
measured with all magnetic compasses tends to be greater as one gets
closer to either of the magnetic poles. You should also remember that some
maps indicate true north (instead of magnetic north), and so you should make
allowances when using such maps with this watch.
Location
•
Taking a direction reading when you are near a source of strong magnetism
can cause large errors in readings. Because of this, you should avoid taking
direction readings while in the vicinity of the following types of objects:
permanent magnets (magnetic necklaces, etc.), concentrations of metal
(metal doors, lockers, etc.), high tension wires, aerial wires, household
appliances (TVs, personal computers, washing machines, freezers, etc.)
•
Accurate direction readings are impossible while in a train, boat, air plane,
etc.
•
Accurate readings are also impossible indoors, especially inside ferro-
concrete structures. This is because the metal framework of such structures
picks up magnetism from appliances, etc.
Storage
•
The precision of the bearing sensor may deteriorate if the watch becomes
magnetized. Because of this, you should be sure to store the watch away
from magnets or any other sources of strong magnetism, including:
permanent magnets (magnetic necklaces, etc.) and household appliances
(TVs, personal computers, washing machines, freezers, etc.)
•
Whenever you suspect that the watch may have become magnetized,
perform one of the calibration procedures under “Calibrating the Bearing
Sensor”.
Sensor Malfunction Indicator
Subjecting the watch to strong impact can cause sensor malfunction or
improper contact of internal circuitry. When this happens,
ERR
(error) will
appear on the display and sensor operations will be disabled.

•
The 12-hour/24-hour timekeeping format you select in the Timekeeping
Mode is applied in all modes.
•
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 when battery power drops to Level 4.
•
The current time for all city codes in the Timekeeping Mode and World Time
Mode is calculated in accordance with the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
differential for each city, based on your Home City time setting.
•
GMT differential is calculated by this watch based on Universal Time
Coordinated (UTC) data.
