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

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-36).

E-125

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-113) 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.

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.

E-124

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

Barometric Pressure Readings

■ 

Following a barometric pressure differential reading, the watch’s small hand points to 12 o’clock.

 The reading value is outside of the allowable measurement range. See page E-79.

 There may be a problem with the sensor. If 

ERR

 (error) is on the digital display, refer to “Direction, 

Altitude, Barometric Pressure, and Temperature Readings” for more information.

 Direction, Altitude, Barometric Pressure, and Temperature 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.

 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.

E-123

■ 

ERR appears on the digital display during sensor reading operations.

There is something wrong with the sensor. This could be due to nearby strong magnetic force. Move 
location where magnetism is not present and try again. If, after multiple retries, 

ERR

 keeps appearing, 

contact your original retailer or CASIO service center. See “Location” (page E-57).

■ 

ERR appears following fi gure 8 calibration or 3-point calibration.

If the screen displays hyphens (

- - -

) followed by the 

ERR

 (error) indicator, it could mean there is 

something wrong with the sensor.

 Wait for about one second for the 

ERR

 indicator to disappear from the display, and then calibrate the 

sensor again.

 If 

ERR

 continues to appear even after multiple attempts to calibrate, contact your original retailer or 

CASIO service center.

■ 

The direction information indicated by the watch is different from that indicated by a backup 

compass.

 Move away from any potential source of strong magnetism, perform fi gure 8 calibration or 3-point 

calibration, and then try taking a reading again. For more information, refer to “To perform fi gure 8 
calibration” (page E-48), “To perform 3-point calibration” (page E-50), and “Location” (page E-57).

■ 

Direction readings produce different results at the same location.

 Move away from any potential source of strong magnetism and try taking a reading again. See 

“Location” (page E-57).

■ 

I am having problems taking direction readings indoors.

 Move away from any potential source of strong magnetism and try taking a reading again. See 

“Location” (page E-57).

E-122

■ 

I can’t get correct altitude readings.

Relative altitude is calculated based on changes in barometric pressure measurement by the watch’s 
pressure sensor. This means that barometric pressure changes can cause readings taken at different 
times at the same location to be different. Also note that the value displayed by the watch may be different 
from the actual elevation and/or sea level elevation indicated for the area where you are located.
When using the watch’s altimeter while mountain climbing, you need to be sure to perform regular 
calibration in accordance with the local altitude (elevation) indications.
For more information, see “To specify a reference altitude value” (page E-63).

■ 

Following a relative altitude reading, the watch’s small hand points to 12 o’clock.

 The reading value is outside of the allowable measurement range. See page E-61.

 This could indicate sensor error. If 

ERR

 (error) is on the digital display, refer to “Direction, Altitude, 

Barometric Pressure, and Temperature Readings” (page E-124) for more information.

Taking 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 fi gure 8 
calibration or 3-point calibration, and then try taking a reading again. 
For more information, refer to “To perform fi gure 8 calibration” (page E-48), 
“To perform 3-point calibration” (page E-50), and “Location” (page E-57).

Troubleshooting

Time Setting

See “Radio Controlled Atomic Timekeeping” (page E-20) for information about adjusting the time setting 
according to a time calibration signal.

■ 

The current time setting is off by hours.

Your Home City setting may be wrong (page E-36). Check your Home City setting and correct it, if necessary.

■ 

The current time setting is off by one hour.

If you are using the watch in an area where time calibration signal reception is possible, see “To confi gure 
Home City and summer time settings” (page E-36).
If you are using the watch in an area where time calibration signal reception is not possible, you may need 
to change your Home City’s standard time/daylight saving time (DST) setting manually. Use the procedure 
under “To change the current time and date settings manually” (page E-38) to change the standard time/
daylight saving time (DST) setting.

Altitude Readings

■ 

Altitude readings produce different results at the same location.

■ 

Readings produced by the watch are different from the elevation and/or sea level altitude 

indications in my area. (Negative sea level altitude values are produced in a location where the 
indicated elevation is a positive value.)
