Congratulations upon your selection of this CASIO watch.
Applications
The built-in sensors of this watch measure direction, barometric pressure, temperature and altitude.
Measured values are then shown on the display. Such features make this watch useful when hiking,
mountain climbing, or when engaging in other such outdoor activities.
The measurement functions built into this watch are not intended for taking measurements that
require professional or industrial precision. Values produced by this watch should be considered
as reasonable representations only.
When engaging in mountain climbing or other activities in which losing your way can create a
dangerous or life-threatening situation, always use a second compass to confi rm direction readings.
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 your watch or its malfunction.

High-speed Movement
You can use either of the crown operations described below to move watch hands or indicators at high
speed.
HS1: Can be used to move both hands and display indicators.
HS2: Can be used when setting the hour and minute manually to move the hands at high speed.
To start HS1 high-speed movement
While the crown is pulled out, rotate it rapidly a number of turns away from you
(for forward movement) or towards you (for reverse movement).
To start HS2 high-speed movement
While HS1 high-speed forward movement is in progress, rotate the crown
rapidly again a number of turns away from you.
To stop high-speed movement
Rotate the crown in the direction that is opposite that of the current high-speed
movement or press any button.

Things to check before using the watch
1. Check the battery power level.
Hold down B (page E-2) for at least two seconds to enter the Timekeeping Mode and display the battery
power level.
The battery power level will be indicated as H or M on the left
side of the digital display.
NO
Does any one of the conditions below exist?
L fl ashing on the digital display.
"CHARGE" fl ashing on the display.
YES
Power is low. Charge the watch by placing it in a location
where it is exposed to light. For details, see "Charging the
Watch" (page E-13).
When L is fl ashing, the second hand will jump at two-second intervals.
When CHARGE is fl ashing, all hands will move to and stop at 12 o'clock.

NEXT
Go to step 2.
Important!
The watch's Altimeter Mode calculates and displays relative altitude based on barometric pressure
readings produced by its pressure sensor. This means that readings taken at different times at the
same location may produce different altitude values due to changes in barometric pressure. 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, 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).
Whenever you use the digital compass of this watch for serious trekking, mountain climbing, or other
activities, be sure always to take along another compass to confi rm readings. If the readings produced
by the digital compass of this watch are different from those of the other compass, perform fi gure 8
calibration or 3-point calibration of the digital compass to ensure more accurate readings.
Direction readings and digital compass calibration will not be possible if the watch is in the vicinity of a
permanent magnet (magnetic accessory, etc.), metal objects, high-voltage wires, aerial wires, or
electrical household appliances (TV, computer, cellphone, etc.)
Using the Crown
The crown of this watch is a screw in lock crown. Before using the crown,
Crown
you must fi rst rotate it towards you to loosen it. After performing crown
operations, be sure to press the crown in lightly as you screw it back in.
Important!
To maintain water resistance and avoid impact damage to the crown,
be sure to screw it back in when you are not using it.
Loosen
The illustrations below show the different crown operations.
Pull out
Note
If you do not perform any operation for more than two minutes after pulling out the crown, the indicator
shown below will appear and crown operations will become disabled. If this happens, push the crown
back in and then pull it out again to re-enable crown operations.
Pulling out the crown while the watch is in a mode that does not allow confi guration of any settings will
cause the indicator shown below to appear. If this happens, push the crown back in and lock it.
The indicator shown below also appears when performing hand home position adjustment. See "Hand
Home Position Adjustment" (page E-41) for more information.
You can use high-speed movement to perform the following operations: when changing a time and/or
date setting; when selecting a city; when performing magnetic declination angle calibration, altitude
calibration, barometric pressure calibration, or temperature calibration operations; when calibrating
high tide times; when setting a latitude and longitude; when confi guring timer settings, when setting an
alarm time
2. Check the Home City and the daylight saving time (DST) setting.
Use the procedure under "To confi gure Home City and summer time settings" (page E-36) to confi gure your
Home City and daylight saving time settings.
Important!
Proper time calibration signal reception and World Time Mode data depend on correct Home City,
time, and date settings in the Timekeeping Mode. Make sure you confi gure these settings correctly.
3. Set the current time.
To set the time using a time calibration signal
See "To get ready for a receive operation" (page E-22).
To set the time manually
See "Confi guring Current Time and Date Settings Manually" (page E-38).
The watch is now ready for use.
