Possible Cause
Remedy
Page
x
You are wearing or moving the watch, or
performing a button operation during time
calibration signal receive operation.
x
The watch is in an area with poor reception
conditions.
Keep the watch in an area where reception
conditions are good while time calibration
signal receive operation is being performed.
E-18
You are in an area where signal reception is not
possible for some reason.
See “Approximate Reception Ranges”.
E-17
The alarm time was reached during time
calibration signal reception.
The alarm sounded during time calibration
signal reception, causing reception to be
canceled.
—
The calibration signal is not being transmitted
for some reason.
x
Check the website of the organization that
maintains the time calibration signal in your
area for information about its down times.
x
Try again later.
—
■
The current time setting changes after I set it manually.
You may have the watch confi gured for Auto Receive of the time calibration signal (page E-19), which will
cause the time to be adjusted automatically according to your currently selected Home City. If this results
in the wrong time setting, check your Home City setting and correct it, if necessary (page E-27).
E-60
■
What causes incorrect direction readings?
x
The watch may have been exposed to magnetism. Calibrate the direction sensor.
x
A nearby source of strong magnetism, such as a household appliance, a large steel bridge, a steel
beam, overhead wires, etc., or an attempt to perform direction measurement on a train, boat, etc. Move
away from such objects and try again.
■
What causes different direction readings to produce different results at the same location?
x
Magnetism generated by nearby digital noise sources (such as high-tension power lines) can interfere
with the detection of terrestrial magnetism. Move away from the source of the digital noise and try
again.
■
Why am I having problems taking direction readings indoors?
A TV, personal computer, speakers, or some other object is interfering with terrestrial magnetism
readings. Move away from the object causing the interference or take the direction reading outdoors.
Indoor direction readings are particularly diffi cult inside ferro-concrete structures. Remember that you will
not be able to take direction readings inside of trains, airplanes, etc.
Charging
■
The watch does not resume operation after I expose it to light.
This can happen after the power level drops to Level 3 (page E-13). Continue exposing the watch to light until
the
2
Second Hand
starts moving normally (at one-second intervals).
■
The
2
Second Hand
starts to move at one-second intervals, but then suddenly returns to moving
at two-second intervals.
The watch probably is not suffi ciently charged yet. Continue keeping it exposed to light.
E-59
Digital Compass Mode
■
An error is indicated during sensor operation.
Subjecting the watch to strong impact can cause sensor malfunction or improper contact of internal
circuitry. The illustrations below how sensor mode errors are indicated.
x
During digital compass operations, nearby strong magnetism can cause an
error to be indicated.
x
Move away from any potential source of strong magnetism and restart the
measurement. See “Location” (page E-43). If an error is indicated when you
restart the measurement, it probably means that there is a problem with the
sensor or internal circuitry.
■
Abnormal magnetism detection is indicated.
x
Move away from any potential source of strong magnetism and try taking a
reading again.
x
If abnormal magnetism is detected again when you retry, it could mean that
the watch itself has become magnetized. If this happens, continue to keep
away from the source of strong magnetism, perform bidirectional calibration,
and then try taking a reading again. For more information, refer to “To
perform bidirectional calibration” (page E-40) and “Location” (page E-43).
Whenever you have a sensor malfunction, take the watch to your original dealer or nearest authorized
CASIO distributor as soon as possible.
E-58
■
The current time setting is off by hours.
x
Your Home City setting may be wrong. Check your Home City setting and correct it, if necessary (page
E-27).
■
The current time setting is off by one hour.
x
If you are using the watch in an area where time calibration signal reception is possible, see “To
confi gure Home City settings” (page E-27).
x
The period when summer time is applied in the location where you are using the watch may be
different from the period set for your currently selected Home City. Use the procedure under “To switch
between standard time and summer time manually” (page E-29) to switch from
AUTO
to
STD
(for standard
time) or
DST
(for summer time).
■
The time and date settings are off.
This could indicate that the watch has been exposed to magnetism or strong impact, which has caused
problems with proper hand and day indicator alignment. Adjust the watch’s hand and day indicator home
position alignment (page E-55).
E-57
Troubleshooting
Hand Movement and Position
■
I lost track of what mode the watch is in.
Refer to “Mode Reference Guide” (page E-24). To return directly to the Timekeeping Mode, hold down
B
at
least two seconds.
■
The hands of the watch suddenly start moving at high speed, even when I do not perform any
operation.
This could be due to any one of the following causes. In all cases, the hand movement does not indicate
malfunction, and should stop shortly.
x
The watch is recovering from a sleep state (page E-15).
x
The time setting is being adjusted following a successful auto time calibration signal receive operation
(page E-16).
■
The
2
Second Hand
is moving at two-second intervals.
■
All the watch’s hands are stopped at 12 o’clock and none of the buttons work (
2
Second Hand
stopped at 57, 58, 59, or 00).
Power may be low. Expose the watch to light until the
2
Second Hand
starts moving normally, at one-
second intervals (page E-11).
■
Hands suddenly stop moving. Button operation also is disabled.
The watch may be in the power recovery mode (page E-13). Do not perform any operation until the hands
return to their normal positions (in about 15 minutes). The hands should return to their correct positions
when normal operation returns. To help power recover, leave the watch in a location where it is exposed
to light.
E-56
To adjust home positions
1. In the Timekeeping Mode, pull out the crown.
2. Hold down
C
for at least fi ve seconds until the watch beeps and the
2
Second Hand
moves to 12 o’clock.
x
Automatic home position adjustment of all of the hands (but not the
6
Day Indicator
) will start.
x
If all hands are at 12 o’clock (the proper home hand home position),
advance directly to step 3.
x
If the
4
Upper Dial Hand
is not pointing at
24
, which is its home position,
hold down
A
for about two seconds to move it there.
3. Press
B
.
x
This enters the
6
Day Indicator
home position adjustment mode.
4. Check the
6
Day Indicator
to confi rm that it is
1
, which is its home position.
x
If the
1
is not in the center of the
6
Day Indicator
, rotate the crown to
center it.
x
Rotating the crown three full consecutive turns clockwise will cause the
6
Day Indicator
to start changing in a forward direction (increment).
x
To stop
6
Day Indicator
movement, press any button.
5. Push the crown back in to return to the Timekeeping Mode.
x
This will cause the hands to return to their normal positions and resume
regular timekeeping. Wait until everything stops moving before performing
any other operation.
