Getting Acquainted
Congratulations upon your selection of this CASIO watch. To get the most out of your
purchase, be sure to carefully read this manual and keep it on hand for later reference
when necessary.
•••••
This watch does not have a time zone that corresponds to the Greenwich
Mean Time differential of –3.5 hours. Because of this, the radio-controlled
timekeeping and World Time functions will not display the correct time for
Newfoundland, Canada.
Expose the watch to bright light to charge its battery before using it.
You can use this watch even as its battery is being charged by exposure to bright
light.
•
Be sure to read “Battery” of this manual for important information you need to
know when exposing the watch to bright light.
If the digital display of the watch is blank...
If the Power Saving
indicator (
PS
) is flashing on the display,
it means that the display is blank because the watch’s
Power Saving function has turned it off to conserve power.
Power Saving automatically turns off the display and
enters a sleep state whenever your watch is left for a
certain period in an area where it is dark. If the watch is
kept in the dark for a longer period, the analog hands will
also stop moving after a few days.
•
The initial factory default setting is Power Saving on.
•
The watch will recover from the sleep state if you move it
to a well-lit area or if you press any button.
•
See “Power Saving Function” for more information.

This watch receives a time calibration signal and updates
its time setting accordingly. The time calibration signal
includes both Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time
(summer time) data.
•
This watch is designed to pick up the time calibration
signal transmitted in the United States (Fort Collins,
Colorado) and the time calibration signals transmitted in
Japan.
•
The U.S. time calibration signal can be picked up by the
watch while in North America.*
*
The term “North America” in this manual refers to the area
that consists of Canada, the continental United States, and
Mexico.

The first thing you should do after purchasing this watch is to set your Home City,
which is the city where you will normally use the watch. For more information, see

When using the watch outside the ranges of the U.S. and Japanese time signal
transmitters, you have to adjust the current time setting manually as required. See

The analog time of this watch is synchronized with the digital time. Because of this,
the analog time setting is automatically adjusted whenever you change the digital
setting. See “Analog Timekeeping” for more information.
