E-124

■ 

Auto receive is not performed or you cannot perform manual receive.

Possible Cause

Remedy

Page

The watch is not in the 
Timekeeping Mode.

Auto receive is performed only while the watch is in the Timekeeping 
Mode. Enter the Timekeeping Mode.

E-30

Auto Receive is disabled.

Enable Auto Receive.

E-26

Your Home City setting is wrong. Check your Home City setting and correct it, if necessary.

E-34

There is not enough power for 
signal reception.

Expose the watch to light to charge it.

E-13

The receive operation is failing 
for some reason.

Check the causes for receive operation failure and eliminate the 
problem.

E-27

■ 

Signal reception is being performed successfully, but the time and/or day is wrong.

Possible Cause

Remedy

Page

Your Home City setting is wrong. Check your Home City setting and correct it, if necessary.

E-34

The DST setting may be 
incorrect.

Change the DST setting to Auto DST.

E-34

E-123

Possible Cause

Remedy

Page

You are in an area where signal 
reception is not possible for 
some reason.

See “Approximate Reception Ranges”.

E-21

The calibration signal is not 
being transmitted for some 
reason.

 Check the website of the organization that maintains the time 

calibration signal in your area for information about its down times.

 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-23), 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-34).

■ 

The current time setting is off by one hour.

Possible Cause

Remedy

Page

Signal reception on a day for 
switching between standard 
time/daylight saving time (DST) 
may have failed for some reason.

Perform the operation under “To get ready for a receive operation”. 
The time setting will be adjusted automatically as soon as signal 
reception is successful.

E-22

If you are unable to receive the time calibration signal, change the 
standard time/daylight saving time (DST) setting manually.

E-36

E-122

Note

 Performing repeated illumination and/or sensor reading operations over a short time period can cause 

a sudden drop in watch’s charge. This will cause the watch to enter the charge recovery mode. The 
watch is in the charge recovery mode when 

RECOVER

 is fl ashing on the digital display. The charge 

recovery mode is the same as a low battery charge state, access to some functions is limited while the 
watch charge is recovering. Normal operation will resume after recovery is complete. For more 
information, refer to “Power Recovery Mode” (page E-17).

 A fl ashing 

CHARGE

 indicator means that the charge level of the watch has suddenly dropped. 

Immediately expose the watch to light to charge it.

Home City.

■ 

ERR will be displayed if the manual receive operation fails for some reason.

Possible Cause

Remedy

Page

 You are wearing or moving the 

watch, or performing a button 
operation during the signal 
receive operation.

 The watch is in an area with 

poor reception conditions.

Keep the watch in an area where reception conditions are good 
while the signal receive operation is performed.

E-24

E-121

 If 

ERR

 appears frequently, it could mean that the sensor is faulty. Contact your original retailer or 

CASIO service center.

■ 

I can’t change the temperature, barometric pressure, and altitude display units.

When 

TYO

 (Tokyo) is selected as the Home City, the altitude unit is set automatically to meters (m), the 

barometric pressure unit to hectopascals (hPa), and the temperature unit to Celsius (°C). These settings 
cannot be changed.

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-93) for more information.

Charging

■ 

The watch does not resume operation after I expose it to light.

This can happen after the power level drops to Level 5 (page E-15). Keep the watch exposed to light until it 
recharges suffi ciently.

■ 

RECOVER is fl ashing on the digital display.

The watch is in the charge recovery mode. Wait until the recovery process is complete (about 15 minutes). 
The watch will recover more quickly if you place it in a brightly lit location.

E-120

■ 

The watch won’t enter the Timekeeping Mode.

If you accidentally enter the Depth Meter Mode while in an aircraft or any other vehicle where there are 
large changes in air pressure, the watch will interpret the current pressure as being underwater (depth of 
1.0 meters or greater). In this condition, the watch will not return to the Timekeeping Mode.

 If this happens, hold down 

B

 for about two seconds to force the watch to return to the Timekeeping 

Mode.

■ 

The warning mark ( ! ) is fl ashing on the display.

Refer to “Troubleshooting when a Flashing Warning Mark ( 

!

 ) Appears” (page E-86).

■ 

Depth readings are incorrect.

When the watch enters the Depth Meter Mode, it sets the current ambient pressure as 0 meters. Because 
of this, you should always enter the Depth Meter Mode while on the water surface. If you entered the 
Depth Meter Mode while under water, reset 0 meters on the water surface.

Especially during the summer months, direct sunlight can cause the watch to become abnormally hot. If 
this happens, leave the watch in the water for two to three minutes to acclimate before using it.

Subjecting the watch to strong shock can affect the accuracy of the depth measurements. If this happens 
immediately contact an authorized CASIO service center for inspection and sensor adjustment.

This watch displays sea water depth. Fresh water depth can be obtained by multiplying the displayed 
depth value by 1.025.

 Barometric Pressure, Bearing, Altitude, Temperature, and Depth Readings

■ 

ERR appears on the digital display during sensor reading operations.

This indicates that there is a problem with the sensor, making sensor readings impossible.

 If the error is indicated while a reading operation in progress, restart the operation. If 

ERR

 appears 

again, it could mean there is something wrong with the sensor.
