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.

What to do if the second hand (dial at 6 o’clock) is stopped

The watch is shipped from the factory with the second
hand stopped in order to conserve battery power. Even
though the second hand is stopped, the watch continues
to maintain the current time internally. If the second hand
is stopped when you purchase the watch, press any one
of the watch’s buttons to start hand movement.

Stopwatch

The stopwatch lets you measure elapsed time.

When you enter the Stopwatch Mode, the stopwatch
1/20 second hand and the stopwatch minute hand move
to 0.

You can start elapsed time measurement with the
stopwatch while the watch is in the Stopwatch Mode or
the Timekeeping Mode.

The display range of the stopwatch is 23 hours,
59 minutes, 59.95 seconds.

The stopwatch continues to run, restarting from zero
after it reaches its limit, until you stop it.

You can switch to another mode from the Stopwatch
Mode only while the stopwatch is stopped and reset to
all zeros.
