Congratulations upon your selection of this CASIO watch.
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.

x Even when the watch is within range of a transmitter, signal reception may be
impossible due to the effects of geographic contours, structures, weather, the time
of year, the time of day, radio interference, etc. The signal becomes weaker at
distances of approximately 500 kilometers, which means that the influence of the
conditions listed above becomes even greater.
x Signal reception may not be possible at the distances noted below during certain
times of the year or day. Radio interference may also cause problems with
reception.
x Using this watch in a country covered by a time calibration that is different from the
countries it supports may result in incorrect time indication due to local application
of summer time, etc.
To get ready for a receive operation
1. Confirm that the watch is in the Timekeeping Mode. If it isn’t, hold down C for
about two seconds to enter the Timekeeping Mode.
2. Place the watch in a location where signal reception is good.
x Position the watch as shown in the

x The receive operation takes from two to seven minutes, but in some cases it
can take as long as 14 minutes. Take care that you do not perform any button
operation or move the watch during this time.
x Signal reception may be difficult or even impossible under the conditions
described below.
3. What you should do next depends on whether you are using Auto Receive or
Manual Receive.
x Auto Receive: Leave the watch over night in the location you selected in step 2.
See “Auto Receive” on page E-25 for details.
x Manual Receive: Perform the operation under “To perform manual receive” on
page E-26.
Auto Receive
x With Auto Receive, the watch performs the receive operation each day
automatically up to six times (up to five times for the Chinese calibration signal)
between the hours of midnight and 5 a.m. (according to the Timekeeping Mode
time). When any receive operation is successful, none of the other receive
operations for that day are performed.
x When a calibration time is reached, the watch will perform the receive operation
only if it is in the Timekeeping Mode or World Time Mode. The receive operation is
not performed if a calibration time is reached while you are configuring settings.

Hand Movement and Position
■ I lost track of what mode the watch is in.
Refer to “To select a mode” (page E-32). To return directly to the Timekeeping Mode
from any other mode, hold down C for about two seconds.

shows 1. If it doesn’t, use D (+) and B (–) to change
the day to 1.
■ 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 (page E-12).

■ The hands of the watch suddenly start moving at high speed, even when I do
not perform any 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 (page E-34).
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.
x The watch is recovering from a sleep state (page E-16).
x The time setting is being adjusted following a successful auto time calibration
signal receive operation (page E-18).
■ 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” (page E-34).
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” (page E-36) to change the
STD/DST setting.
x The watch is returning to the Timekeeping Mode automatically from the Alarm Mode
(page E-58).
■ Hands suddenly stop moving. Button operation also is disabled.
The watch may be in the power recovery mode (page E-14). 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.
■ 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 (page E-59).

■ 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
light.
World Time Mode
■ The World Time indicated by the nRight 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 (page E-53).

is off.
Your Home City setting may be wrong. Check your Home City setting and correct it, if
necessary (page E-34).
Charging
■ The watch does not resume operation after I expose it to light.
This can happen after the power level drops to Level 3 (page E-12). Continue
exposing the watch to light until the xSecond Hand starts moving normally (at one-
second intervals).
