2. OPERATION CHART: MODULE QW-2960
Getting Acquainted
Congratulations upon your selection of this CASIO watch. To get the most out of your
purchase, be sure to read this manual carefully and keep it on hand for later reference
when necessary.
Keep the watch exposed to bright light
The electricity generated by the solar cell of the watch is
stored by a built-in battery. Leaving or using the watch
where it is not exposed to light causes the battery to run
down. Make sure the watch is exposed to light as much as
possible.
•
When you are not wearing the watch on your wrist,
position the face so it is pointed at a source of bright
light.
•
You should try to keep the watch outside of your sleeve
as much as possible. Even if the face of the watch is
only partially blocked from light, charging will be reduced
significantly.

The watch continues to operate, even when it is not exposed to light. Leaving the
watch in the dark can cause the battery to run down, which will cause some watch
functions to be disabled. If the battery goes dead, you will have to re-configure watch
settings after recharging. To ensure normal watch operation, be sure to keep it
exposed to light as much as possible.

Frequent display illumination can run down the battery quickly and require charging.
The following guidelines give an idea of the charging time required to recover from a
single illumination operation.
Approximately 5 minutes exposure to bright sunlight coming in through a window
Approximately 50 minutes exposure to indoor fluorescent lighting
•
Be sure to read “Power Supply” for important information you need to know
when exposing the watch to bright light.

If the display of the watch is blank, it means that the watch’s Power Saving function
has turned off the display to conserve power.
•
See “Power Saving Function” for more information.
Warning!
•
The longitude, lunitidal interval, Moon phase indicator and tide graph data that
appear on the display of this watch are not intended for navigation purposes.
Always use proper instruments and resources to obtain data for navigation

Home Site Data
Moon phase, tide graph data, and Moon/Tide Data Mode data will not be displayed
properly unless the Timekeeping Mode current date and time settings and Home Site
data (GMT differential, longitude, and lunitidal interval) is configured correctly.
•
The GMT differential is the time difference of the time zone where the site is located
and Greenwich Mean Time.
•
The lunitidal interval is the time elapsing between the Moon’s transit over a meridian
and the next high tide at that meridian. See “Lunitidal Interval” for more information.
•
This watch displays lunitidal intervals in terms of hours and minutes.
•
The “Site/Lunitidal Interval Data List” provide GMT differential, longitude, and
lunitidal interval information around the world.
•
The following is the initial factory default Home Site data (Tokyo, Japan) when you
first purchase the watch, whenever battery power drops to Level 4, and whenever
you have the battery replaced. Change these settings to match the area where you
normally use the watch.
GMT differential (+9.0); Longitude (East 140 degrees); Lunitidal interval (5 hours,
20 minutes)
