Auto light precautions

 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 (page E-61), even if you 

keep the watch pointed towards your face.

 Static electricity or magnetic force can interfere with proper operation of auto light. 

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.

 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 auto light, and 
does not indicate a problem with the watch.

Button Operation Tone

When enabled, the button operation tone sounds any time you press one of the watch’s buttons. You can 
enable or disable the button operation tone as desired.

 Even if you disable the button operation tone, the alarm, Hourly Time Signal, and Countdown Timer 

Mode alarm all operate normally.

To enable or disable the button operation tone

1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down 

A

 until 

ADJ

 appears on the display.

 When you release 

A

 (after 

ADJ

 appears), the second hand will be pointing at the currently 

selected city code.

2. Use 

D

 to cycle through settings on the display until the current button 

operation tone setting (

MUTE

 or 

KEY

) is shown.

 See the sequence in step 2 of the procedure under “To change the 

current time and date settings” (page E-17) for information about 
how to scroll through setting screens.

3. Press 

E

 to toggle the button operation tone setting between enabled (

KEY

) and disabled (

MUTE

).

4. After the setting is the way you want, press 

A

 to exit the setting screen.

Low Battery Indication

A low battery indicator appears on the display when the power of the batteries is low. Have the batteries 
replaced as soon as possible.

Note

 For guidelines covering the life of the batteries and supported battery types, see “Specifi cations” 

(page E-72).

The conditions below are in effect while the low battery indicator is fl ashing.

 All hands are stopped.

 Except for the low battery indicator, all other display functions are 

disabled.

 Watch tones are disabled.

 Display illumination is disabled.

 Watch operations are disabled.

Note

 Sequentially or repeatedly performing sensor, light, alarm, and other power intensive operations 

over a short period can cause a sudden drop in battery power, which will make the low battery 
indicator fl ash. Even though the low battery indicator may disappear and watch functions may 
become re-enabled, battery replacement is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Time Setting

■ 

The current time setting is off by a couple of hours.

Your Home City setting may be wrong (page E-15). Check your Home City setting and correct it, if 
necessary.

■ 

The current time setting is off by one hour.

You may need to change your Home City’s standard time/daylight saving time (DST) setting. Use the 
procedure under “To change the current time and date settings” (page E-17).

World Time Mode

 The time for my World Time City is off in the World Time Mode.

This could be due to incorrect switching between standard time and daylight saving time.
See “To confi gure World Time City and summer time settings” (page E-52) for more information.

E-68

Batteries

 The low battery indicator is fl ashing on the digital display.

The watch’s battery power is low. Have the batteries replaced as soon as 
possible.

See “Low Battery Indication” (page E-66).

Direction and Temperature Readings

■ 

The temperature unit setting won’t change.

The temperature unit setting is always Celsius (

°C

) whenever 

TOKYO

 is selected as the Home City. In 

this case, the setting cannot be changed.

 “ERR” appears while a sensor operation is in progress.

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.

Digital Compass 

Operation

Temperature

Measurement

 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.

 If 

ERR

 keeps appearing during measurement, it could mean there is a problem with the applicable 

sensor.

E-70

Direction Readings

■ 

Abnormal magnetism detection is indicated.

 Move away from any potential source of strong magnetism and try 

taking a reading again.

 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-26) 
and “Location” (page E-32).

 “ERR” appears on the display following bidirectional calibration.

If

- -

 appears and then changes to 

ERR

 (error) on the calibration screen, it means that there is something 

wrong with the sensor.

 If 

ERR

 disappears after about one second, try performing the calibration again.

 If 

ERR

 keeps appearing, contact your original dealer or nearest authorized CASIO distributor to have 

the watch checked.

Whenever you have a sensor malfunction, take the watch to your original dealer or nearest authorized 
CASIO distributor as soon as possible.

E-71

 Incorrect direction readings.

 Incorrect bidirectional calibration. Perform bidirectional calibration (page E-26).

 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 large metal objects and try again.

 Different results produced by direction readings taken at the same location.

Magnetism generated by nearby high-tension wires is interfering with detection of terrestrial magnetism. 
Move away from the high-tension wires and try again.

 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.
