Power Levels
Congratulations upon your selection of this CASIO watch.
B
+
You can get an idea of the watch’s power level by
observing the movement of the xSecond Hand in the
Timekeeping Mode.
If the xSecond Hand is moving normally in one-second
intervals, power is at Level 1.
This watch does not have a city code that corresponds to the UTC offset of –3.5
hours. Because of this, the radio-controlled atomic timekeeping function will not
display the correct time for Newfoundland, Canada.
If the xSecond Hand is moving at two-second intervals,
power is at Level 2, which is quite low. Expose the watch
to light as soon as possible so it can charge.
Note that CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD. assumes no responsibility for any
damage or loss suffered by you or any third party arising through the use of this
product or its malfunction.

All functions disabled
When power drops to Level 3, all functions will be disabled but the watch will
continue to keep time internally for about one week. If you recharge the battery
sufficiently during this period, the analog hands will move automatically to the
correct setting and regular timekeeping will resume. After one week, all settings
(including timekeeping) will be cleared. Recharging the battery will reset all settings
to their initial factory defaults.

This User’s Guide uses numbers shown above to identify
watch hands and indicators.
Power Recovery Mode
The watch is designed to go into a power recovery mode that stops hand operation
temporarily whenever power suddenly drops below a certain level due to overuse
of the alarm tone over a short period. Note that all operations are disabled while the
watch is in the power recovery mode.
The hands will move to the correct positions and the watch will resume normal
operation after power recovers (in about 15 minutes). Putting the watch in a location
where it is exposed to light will help power to recover sooner.
Things to check before using the watch
1. Hold down C for about two seconds to enter the Timekeeping Mode, and
then observe the movement of the xSecond Hand.
Is the xSecond Hand moving smoothly in one-second intervals?
NO

Power Saving
To set the time using a time calibration signal
See “To get ready for a receive operation”.
To set the time manually
Power Saving enters a sleep state automatically whenever the watch is left for a
certain period in an area where it is dark. The table below shows how watch functions
are affected by Power Saving.

6 or 7 days (function sleep)
The watch will not enter a sleep state between 6:00 AM and 9:59 PM. If the watch
is already in a sleep state when 6:00 AM arrives, however, it will remain in the sleep
state.
Charging the Watch
The face of the watch is a solar cell that generates power from light. The generated
power charges a built-in rechargeable battery, which powers watch operations. The
watch charges whenever it is exposed to light.
The watch will not enter a sleep state while it is in the Stopwatch Mode.
To recover from the sleep state
Move the watch to a well-lit area or press any button.
Charging Guide
Whenever you are not
wearing the watch, be sure
to leave it in a location
where it is exposed to light.
Best charging
performance is achieved
by exposing the watch to
light that is as strong as
possible.
When wearing the watch,
makes sure that its face is
not blocked from light by the
sleeve of your clothing.
The watch may enter a
sleep state if its face is
blocked by your sleeve
even only partially.
Radio Controlled Atomic Timekeeping
This watch receives a time calibration signal and updates its time setting accordingly.
However, when using the watch outside of areas covered by time calibration signals,
you will have to adjust the settings manually as required. See “Configuring Current
Time and Date Settings Manually” for more information.
This section explains how the watch updates its time settings when the city code
selected as the Home City is in Japan, North America, Europe, or China, and is one
that supports time calibration signal reception.
Warning!
If your Home City Code setting
is this:
The watch can receive the signal from the
transmitter located here:
Leaving the watch in bright light for charging can cause it to become quite hot.
Take care when handling the watch to avoid burn injury. The watch can become
particularly hot when exposed to the following conditions for long periods.
On the dashboard of a car parked in direct sunlight
Too close to an incandescent lamp
Under direct sunlight
LON, PAR, ATH
Anthorn (England), Mainflingen (Germany)
Shangqiu City (China)
HKG
TYO
Fukushima (Japan), Fukuoka/Saga (Japan)
Fort Collins, Colorado (United States)
HNL, ANC, LAX, DEN, CHI, NYC
Important!
Keep the watch in an area normally exposed to bright light when storing it for long
periods. This helps to ensure that power does not run down.
Important!
The areas covered by HNL and ANC are quite far from the calibration signal
transmitters, so certain conditions may cause reception problems.
When HNL or HKG is selected as the Home City, only the time and date are
adjusted according to the time calibration signal. You need to switch manually
between standard time and daylight saving time (DST) if required. See “To toggle
the Home City time between standard time and daylight saving time” for information
about how to do this.
Storing the watch for long periods in an area where there is no light or wearing it in
such a way that it is blocked from exposure to light can cause power to run down.
Make sure that the watch is exposed to bright light whenever possible.

Swapping your Home City and World Time City
You can use the procedure below to swap your Home City and World Time City. This
capability can come in handy when you frequently travel between two locations in
different time zones.
Using the Stopwatch
The stopwatch measures elapsed time and split times.
The following example shows what happens when the
Home City and World Time City are swapped while the
Home City originally is TYO (Tokyo) and the World Time
City is NYC (New York).

Note
This will make the World Time City (NYC in this example) your new Home City.
At the same time, it will change the Home City you had selected prior to step 2
(TYO in this example), to your World Time City.
After swapping the Home City and World Time City, the watch will stay in the
World Time Mode. The xSecond Hand will point to your new World Time City
(TYO in this example).
The Stopwatch Mode can indicate elapsed time up to 23 minutes, 59.99 seconds.
D button operation (split, reset) is disabled while hands are moving at high speed
following a reset operation and when transitioning from a split time back to normal
elapsed timekeeping.
Once started, stopwatch timing continues until you press B to stop it, even if you
exit the Stopwatch Mode to another mode and even if timing reaches the stopwatch
limit defined above.
The xSecond Hand indicates the 1/10-second count for the first 30 seconds of a
stopwatch elapsed time operation. After that, the hand stops at 12 o’clock.
1/10-second timing continues internally after the first 30 seconds, and the
xSecond Hand will jump to the current value whenever B (Stop) or D (Split) is
pressed.
The bLower Left Dial Hands will indicate the current time in your new World
Time City.
Note
If your current World Time City supports time calibration signal reception, making it
your Home City enables calibration signal reception for that city.
Though the nRight Dial Hand is stopped while an elapsed time measurement
operation is in progress, the watch keeps track of the 1/100-second count
internally. The nRight Dial Hand will jump to the current 1/100-second reading
whenever you stop the stopwatch or perform a split time operation.
Using the Alarm
When the alarm is turned on, an alarm will sound for about 10 seconds each day
when the time in the Timekeeping Mode reaches the preset alarm time. This is true
even if the watch is not in the Timekeeping Mode.
Checking the Current Time in a Different Time Zone
You can use the World Time Mode to view the current time in one of 29 time zones
around the globe. The city that is currently selected in the World Time Mode is called
the “World Time City”.

Operation Guide 5088
Auto Correction of Hand Home Positions
Strong magnetism or impact can cause the hands and/or day setting to be off, even
if the watch is able to perform the signal receive operation. Auto correction of hand
home positions correct the hand position automatically.
Auto correction is performed in the Timekeeping Mode only.
Auto correction corrects the positions of the zHour Hand, cMinute Hand, and
xSecond Hand. For the dial hands and day, you must perform the manual
adjustment procedure under “Adjusting the Home Positions Manually”.
Each hour, the watch performs automatic correction of the hand positions from –55
minutes to +5 minutes.
You also can trigger auto correction of hand home positions manually, if you want.
See “To trigger auto correction of hand home positions” for more information.
Auto correction of hand home positions can take up to three and a half minutes to
complete.
5. After confirming that the bLower Left Dial Hands are in
the correct home positions, press C. This will advance
to nRight Dial Hand home position adjustment.
The nRight Dial Hand is in the correct home position
if it is pointing at 12 o’clock. If it isn’t, use D (+) and
B (–) to move it to 12 o’clock.
6. After confirming that the nRight Dial Hand is in the
correct home position, press C. This will advance to
day home position adjustment.
The mDay is in the correct home position if it
shows 1. If it doesn’t, use D (+) and B (–) to change

To trigger auto correction of hand home positions
Troubleshooting
Perform the following procedure when the time setting
@
Hand Movement and Position
is off.
■ I lost track of what mode the watch is in.
Refer to “To select a mode”. To return directly to the Timekeeping Mode from any
other mode, hold down C for about two seconds.
In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down D for about six
seconds until the xSecond Hand completes one full
revolution.
Though the xSecond Hand will stop momentarily about
three seconds after you hold down D, do not release
the button yet. Wait until the xSecond Hand completes
a full revolution before you release D.
To interrupt an ongoing correction operation and return
to the Timekeeping Mode, press D again.
■ The xSecond Hand is moving at two-second intervals.
■ All the watch’s hands are stopped at 12 o’clock and none of the buttons work.
Power may be low. Expose the watch to light until the xSecond Hand starts moving
normally, at one-second intervals.
■ The hands of the watch suddenly start moving at high speed, even when I do
not perform any operation.
If you release D when the xSecond Hand stops the first time (after about three
seconds) in the above operation, the watch will enter the home position adjustment
mode, which is described under “Adjusting the Home Positions Manually”. If this
happens, press A to return to the Timekeeping Mode and then perform the above
operation again.
Manually triggered auto correction of hand home positions performs the following
two steps.
This could be due to any one of the following causes. In all cases, the hand movement
does not indicate malfunction, and should stop shortly.
The watch is recovering from a sleep state.
The time setting is being adjusted following a successful auto time calibration
signal receive operation.
The watch is returning to the Timekeeping Mode automatically from the Alarm
Mode.
1. The hands will move automatically in order to determine the home positions of the
watch.
■ Hands suddenly stop moving. Button operation also is disabled.
The watch may be in the power recovery mode. Do not perform any operation until the
hands return to their normal positions (in about 15 minutes). The hands should return
to their correct positions when normal operation returns. To help power recover, leave
the watch in a location where it is exposed to light.
2. After the hand home positions are determined, the watch will return to normal
timekeeping automatically. This completes the correction operation.
■ The current time setting is off by hours.
Your Home City setting may be wrong. Check your Home City setting and correct it,
if necessary.
Adjusting the Home Positions Manually
Strong magnetism or impact can cause the hands and/or date of the watch to be
off, even if the watch is able to perform the signal receive operation. If this happens,
perform the applicable home position adjustment procedures in this section.
Hand home position adjustment is not required if the time and day settings are
correct.
You also can use auto correction of the hand home positions to correct the home
positions of the zHour Hand, cMinute Hand, and xSecond Hand.
■ 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 configure Home City settings”.
If you are using in the watch in an area where time calibration signal reception is
not possible, you may need to change your Home City’s STD (standard time)/DST
(daylight saving time) setting manually. Use the procedure under “To toggle the Home
City time between standard time and daylight saving time” to change the STD/DST
setting.
Note
Any time after you enter the home position adjustment mode in step 1 of the following
procedure, you can return to the Timekeeping Mode by pressing A. The watch also
will return to the Timekeeping Mode automatically if you do not perform any operation
for about two or three minutes in home position adjustment mode. In either case, any
adjustments you made before the watch returned to the Timekeeping Mode will be
applied.
■ The hands and/or day indications are off.
This could indicate that the watch has been exposed to magnetism or strong impact,
which has caused problems with proper hand and day alignment. Adjust the watch’s
hand and day home position alignment.
World Time Mode
To adjust the home positions
1. Hold down C for about two seconds until the watch beeps twice and enters the
Timekeeping Mode.
■ The World Time indicated by the bLower Left Dial Hands in the World Time
Mode is one hour off from the actual time in the selected time zone.
The STD (standard time)/DST (daylight saving time) setting of the selected World
Time City may be wrong. Select the correct STD (standard time)/DST (daylight saving
time) setting.
2. Hold down D for about three seconds until the watch beeps.
@
The watch is now in the home position adjustment
mode.
■ The World Time indicated by the bLower Left Dial Hands in the World Time
Mode is off.

■ The watch does not resume operation after I expose it to light.
This can happen after the power level drops to Level 3. Continue exposing the watch
to light until the xSecond Hand starts moving normally (at one-second intervals).
■ The xSecond Hand starts to move at one-second intervals, but then suddenly
returns to moving at two-second intervals.
The watch probably is not sufficiently charged yet. Continue keeping it exposed to
