  • Do not use your watch for scuba diving or other types of diving that requires air tanks.
  • Watches that do not have WATER RESIST or WATER RESISTANT marked on the
  • back cover are not protected against the effects of sweat. Avoid using such a watch under conditions where it will be exposed to large amounts of sweat or moisture, or to direct splashing with water.
  • Even if a watch is water resistant, note the usage precautions described below. Such types of use reduce water resistance performance and can cause fogging of the glass.
    • Do not operate the crown or buttons while your watch is submersed in water or wet.
    • Avoid wearing your watch while in the bath.
    • Do not wear your watch while in a heated swimming pool, sauna, or any other high temperature/high humidity environment.
    • Do not wear your watch while washing your hands or face, while doing housework, or while performing any other task that involves soaps or detergents.
  • After submersion in seawater, use plain water to rinse all salt and dirt from your watch.
  • To maintain water resistance, have the gaskets of your watch replaced periodically (about once every two or three years).
  • A trained technician will inspect your watch for proper water resistance whenever you have its battery replaced. Battery replacement requires the use of special tools. Always request battery replacement from your original retailer or from an authorized CASIO service center.
  • Some water-resistant watches come with fashionable leather bands. Avoid swimming, washing, or any other activity that causes direct exposure of a leather band to water.
  • The inside surface of the watch glass may fog when the watch is exposed to a sudden drop in temperature. No problem is indicated if the fogging clears up relatively quickly. Sudden and extreme temperature changes (such as coming into an air conditioned room in the summer and standing close to an air conditioner outlet, or leaving a heated room in the winter and allowing your watch to come into contact with snow) can cause it to take longer for glass fogging to clear up. If glass fogging does not clear up or if you notice moisture inside of the glass, immediately stop using your watch and take it to your original retailer or to an authorized CASIO service center.
  • Your water-resistant watch has been tested in accordance with International Organization for Standardization regulations.

Band

  • Tightening the band too tightly can cause you to sweat and make it difficult for air to pass under the band, which can lead to skin irritation. Do not fasten the band too tightly. There should be enough room between the band and your wrist so you can insert your finger.
  • Deterioration, rust, and other conditions can cause the band to break or come off of your watch, which in turn can cause band pins to fly out of position or to fall out. This creates the risk of your watch falling from your wrist and becoming lost, and also creates the risk of personal injury. Always take good care of your band and keep it clean.
  • Immediately stop using a band if you even notice any of the following: loss of band flexibility, band cracks, band discoloration, band looseness, band connecting pin flying or falling out, or any other abnormality. Take your watch to your original retailer or to a CASIO service center for inspection and repair (for which you will be charged) or to have the band replaced (for which you will be charged).

Temperature

  • Never leave your watch on the dashboard of a car, near a heater, or in any other location that is subject to very high temperatures. Do not leave your watch where it will be exposed to very low temperatures. Temperature extremes can cause your watch to lose or gain time, to stop, or otherwise malfunction.
  • Leaving your watch in an area hotter than +60°C (140°F) for long periods can lead to problems with its LCD. The LCD may become difficult to read at temperatures lower than 0°C (32°F) and greater than +40°C (104°F).

Impact

  • Your watch is designed to withstand impact incurred during normal daily use and during light activity such as playing catch, tennis, etc. Dropping your watch or otherwise subjecting it to strong impact, however, can lead to malfunction. Note that watches with shock-resistant designs (G-SHOCK, BABY-G, G-MS) can be worn while operating a chain saw or engaging in other activities that generate strong vibration, or while engaging in strenuous sports activities (motocross, etc.)

Magnetism

  • Though operation of your watch normally is not affected by magnetism, its accuracy may be affected if the watch itself becomes magnetized. Also, very strong magnetism (from medical equipment, etc.) should be avoided because it can cause malfunction of your watch and damage to electronic components.

Electrostatic Charge

  • Exposure to very strong electrostatic charge can cause your watch to display the wrong time. Very strong electrostatic charge even can damage electronic components.
  • Electrostatic charge can cause the display to go blank momentarily or cause a rainbow effect on the display.

Chemicals

  • Do not allow your watch to come into contact with thinner, gasoline, solvents, oils, or fats, or with any cleaners, adhesives, paints, medicines, or cosmetics that contain such ingredients. Doing so can cause discoloration of or damage to the resin case, resin band, leather, and other parts.

Storage

  • If you do not plan to use your watch for a long time, thoroughly wipe it free of all dirt, sweat, and moisture, and store it in a cool, dry place.

Resin Components

  • Allowing your watch to remain in contact with other items or storing it together with other items for long periods while it is wet can cause color on resin components to transfer to the other items, or the color of the other items to transfer to the resin components of your watch. Be sure to dry off your watch thoroughly before storing it and make sure it is not in contact with other items.
  • Leaving your watch where it is exposed to direct sunlight (ultraviolet rays) for long periods or failure to clean dirt from your watch for long periods can cause it to become discolored.
  • Friction caused by certain conditions (strong external force, sustained rubbing, impact, etc.) can cause discoloration of painted components.
  • If there are printed figures on the band, strong rubbing of the printed area can cause discoloration.
  • Leaving your watch wet for long periods can cause fluorescent color to fade. Wipe the watch dry as soon as possible after it becomes wet.
  • Semi-transparent resin parts can become discolored due to sweat and dirt, and if exposed to high temperatures and humidity for long periods.
  • Daily use and long-term storage of your watch can lead to deterioration, breaking, or bending of resin components. The extent of such damage depends on usage conditions and storage conditions.

Leather Band

  • Allowing your watch to remain in contact with other items or storing it together with other items for long periods while it is wet can cause the color of the leather band to transfer to the other items or the color of the other items to transfer to the leather band. Be sure to dry off your watch thoroughly with a soft cloth before storing it and make sure it is not in contact with other items.
  • Leaving a leather band where it is exposed to direct sunlight (ultraviolet rays) for long periods or failure to clean dirt from a leather band for long periods can cause it to become discolored.


Exposing a leather band to rubbing or dirt can cause color transfer and discoloration.

Metal Components

  • Failure to clean dirt from metal components can lead to formation of rust, even if components are stainless steel or plated. If metal components exposed to sweat or water, wipe thoroughly with a soft, absorbent cloth and then place the watch in a well-ventilated location to dry.
  • Use a soft toothbrush or similar tool to scrub the metal with a weak solution of water and a mild neutral detergent, or with soapy water. Next, rinse with water to remove all remaining detergent and then wipe dry with a soft absorbent cloth. When washing metal components, wrap the watch case with kitchen plastic wrap so it does not come into contact with the detergent or soap.

Bacteria and Odor Resistant Band

  • The bacteria and odor resistant band protects against odor generated by the formation of bacteria from sweat, which ensures comfort and hygiene. In order to ensure maximum bacteria and odor resistance, keep the band clean. Use an absorbent soft cloth to thoroughly wipe the band clean of dirt, sweat, and moisture. A bacteria and odor resistant band suppresses the formation of organisms and bacteria. It does not protect against rash due to allergic reaction, etc.

Liquid Crystal Display

  • Display figures may be difficult to read when viewed from an angle.

Watch with Data Memory

  • Allowing the battery to go dead, replacing the battery, or having your watch repaired can cause all data in watch memory to be lost. Note that CASIO Computer Co., Ltd. assumes no responsibility for any damages or losses caused by data lost due to malfunction or repair of your watch, replacement of the battery, etc. Be sure to keep separate written copies of all important data.

Watch Sensors

  • A watch sensor is a precision instrument. Never try to take it apart. Never try to insert any objects into the openings of a sensor, and take care to ensure that dirt, dust, or other foreign matter does not get into it. After using your watch where it has been immersed in saltwater, rinse it thoroughly with fresh water.
warning 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.

User Maintenance

Caring for Your Watch

Remember that you wear your watch next to your skin, just like a piece of clothing. To ensure your watch performs at the level for which it is designed, keep it clean by frequently wiping with a soft cloth to keep your watch and band free of dirt, sweat, water and other foreign matter.

  • Whenever your watch is exposed to sea water or mud, rinse it off with clean fresh water.
  • For a metal band or a resin band with metal parts, use a soft toothbrush or similar tool to scrub the band with a weak solution of water and a mild neutral detergent, or with soapy water. Next, rinse with water to remove all remaining detergent and then wipe dry with a soft absorbent cloth. When washing the band, wrap the watch case with kitchen plastic wrap so it does not come into contact with the detergent or soap.
  • For a resin band, wash with water and then wipe dry with a soft cloth. Note that sometimes a smudge like pattern may appear on the surface of a resin band. This will not have any effect on your skin or clothing. Wipe with a cloth to remove the smudge pattern.
  • Clean water and sweat from a leather band by wiping with a soft cloth.
  • Not operating a watch crown, buttons, or rotary bezel could lead to later problems with their operation. Periodically rotate the crown and rotary bezel, and press buttons to maintain proper operation.

Dangers of Poor Watch Care

Rust

  • Though the metal steel used for your watch is highly rust-resistant, rust can form if your watch is not cleaned after it becomes dirty.
  • Dirt on your watch can make it impossible for oxygen to come into contact with the metal, which can lead to breakdown of the oxidization layer on the metal surface and the formation of rust.
  • Rust can cause sharp areas on metal components and can cause band pins to fly out of position or to fall out. If you ever notice any abnormality immediately stop using your watch and take it to your original retailer or to an authorized CASIO service center.
  • Even if the surface of the metal appears clean, sweat and rust in crevasses can soil the sleeves of clothing, cause skin irritation, and even interfere with watch performance.

Premature Wear

  • Leaving sweat or water on a resin band or bezel, or storing your watch an area subject to high moisture can lead to premature wear, cuts, and breaks.

Skin Irritation

  • Individuals with sensitive skin or in poor physical condition may experience skin irritation when wearing a watch. Such individuals should keep their leather band or resin band particularly clean. Should you ever experience a rash or other skin irritation, immediately remove your watch and contact a skin care professional.

Battery

  • The special rechargeable battery used by your watch is not intended to be removed or replaced by you. Use of a rechargeable battery other than the special one specified for your watch can damage your watch.
  • The rechargeable (secondary) battery is charged when the solar panel is exposed to light, so it does not require regular replacement as the primary battery requires. Note, however, that long use or operating conditions can cause the capacity or charging efficiency of the rechargeable battery to deteriorate. If you feel that the amount of operation provided by charging is too short, contact your original retailer or CASIO service center.

Altitude Reading Precautions

Effects of Temperature

When taking altitude readings, take the steps below to keep the watch at as stable a temperature as possible. Changes in temperature can affect altitude readings.

  • Take readings with the watch on your wrist.
  • Take readings in an area where temperature is stable.

Altitude Readings

  • Do not use this watch while skydiving, hang gliding, paragliding, gyrocopter flying, glider flying, or engaged in other activities where altitude changes suddenly.
  • Altitude readings produced by this watch are not intended for special-purpose or industrial level use.
  • In an aircraft, the watch measures the incabin pressurized air pressure, so readings will not match altitudes announced by the crew.

Altitude Readings (Relative Altitude)

This watch uses International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) relative altitude data defined by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). Barometric pressure generally becomes lower as altitude increases.
Correct measurement may not be possible under the conditions below.

  • During unstable atmospheric conditions
  • During sudden temperature changes
  • After the watch has been subjected to strong impact

Barometric Pressure and Temperature Measurement

You can use the watch to take barometric pressure and temperature readings for your current location.

  • Check the information at the link below to find out how to ensure correct readings.
    Correcting Measured Barometric
    Pressure and Temperature Values (Offset)
    Barometric Pressure and Temperature Reading Precautions

    Barometric pressure measurement:260 hPa to 1,100 hPa (7.65 inHg to 32.45 inHg)
    Thermometer measurement: -10.0°C to 60.0°C (14.0°F to 140.0°F)

Checking Changes in Barometric Pressure Over Time

Your watch shows a graph of barometric pressure readings taken at two-hour intervals. You can view barometric pressure readings for the past 42 hours. The square (v) at the far right of the graph indicates the latest barometric pressure reading.

Predicting Upcoming Weather

A trend like this: Means this:
Rising barometric pressure, which indicates that upcoming weather probably will be fair.
Falling barometric pressure, which indicates that upcoming weather probably will be bad.

warning Note :
Large changes in barometric pressure and/or temperature can cause past data readings to be plotted outside of the visible area of the graph. Though plots are not visible, the data is still maintained in watch memory.

Checking the Change Between Two Barometric Pressure Readings (Barometric Pressure Differential)

In the Barometer/Temperature Mode, the display shows the current measured value, and a graphic indicator of the differential between the automatically measured current value and the latest value measured at twohour intervals.
Example: Barometric pressure differential of -3 hPa (approximately -0.9 inHg)

warning Note :
The barometric pressure differential graphic indicator will not be displayed if the barometric pressure differential exceeds ±10 hPa, or if the barometric pressure measurement value exceeds the measurement range.

Sudden Barometric Pressure Change Indications

Whenever the watch detects a significant change in air pressure readings (due to sudden ascent or descent, or to the passage of a low-pressure or high-pressure area), it will beep to let you know. An arrow will also flash on the display at this time if the watch is in the Barometer/Temperature Mode, or if it is in the Timekeeping Mode with the barometric pressure graph displayed. The arrow that appears shows the direction of the pressure change. These alerts are called "Barometric Pressure Change Indications".

This indicator: Means this:
Sudden drop in pressure
Sudden rise in pressure
Sustained rise in pressure, shifting to a fall
Sustained fall in pressure, shifting to a rise
  • To ensure correct barometric pressure change indicator operation, enable it in a location where the altitude is constant (such as a lodge, camp area, or on the ocean).
  • A change in altitude causes a change in air pressure. Because of this, correct readings are impossible. Do not take readings while ascending or descending a mountain, etc.

Troubleshooting

Altitude Measurement

Q1 Readings produce different results at the same location.
Watch readings are different from altitude information available from other sources.
Correct altitude readings are not possible.

Relative altitude is calculated based on changes in barometric pressure measured by the watch's pressure sensor. This means that barometric pressure changes can cause readings taken at the same location to be different. 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, it is recommended that you regularly calibrate its readings in accordance with local altitude (elevation) indications. l Calibrating Altitude Readings (Offset)

Q2 [ERR] appears during measurement.

There may be a problem with the sensor. Try taking another measurement.
If [ERR] keeps appearing after multiple measurement attempts, contact a CASIO service center or your original retailer.

Digital Compass

Q1 The entire display is flashing.

Abnormal magnetism has been detected. Move away from any potential source of strong magnetism and try taking a reading again.
Digital Compass Reading Precautions

  • If the display flashes again, it could mean that the watch itself has become magnetized. Move away from any potential source of strong magnetism, perform 2point calibration, and then try taking a reading again.
    Calibrating Compass Readings

Q2 [ERR] appears during measurement.

There is a problem with the sensor or there may be a source strong magnetic force nearby. Move away from any potential source of strong magnetism and try taking a reading again. If [ERR] keeps appearing after multiple measurement attempts, contact a CASIO service center or your original retailer.
Digital Compass Reading Precautions

Q3 [ERR] appears following 2-point calibration.

[ERR] on the display could indicate a sensor problem.

  • If [ERR] disappears after about one second, try performing 2-point calibration again.
  • If [ERR] keeps appearing after multiple attempts, contact a CASIO service center or your original retailer.
Q4 Direction information indicated by the watch is different from that indicated by a backup compass.

Move away from any potential source of strong magnetism, perform 2-point calibration, and then try taking a reading again.
Calibrating Compass Readings
Digital Compass Reading Precautions

Q5 Readings at the same location produce different results.
Cannot take readings indoors.

Move away from any potential source of strong magnetism and try taking a reading again.
Digital Compass Reading Precautions

Barometric Pressure Measurement

Q1 The barometric pressure differential graphic is not displayed after barometric pressure measurement.

The barometric pressure differential graphic is not displayed if the barometric pressure measurement value exceeds the allowable measurement range (260hPa to 1,100hPa) or if the barometric pressure differential exceeds ±10hPa. If [ERR] is displayed, there may be a problem with the sensor.
Checking the Change Between Two Barometric Pressure Readings (Barometric Pressure Differential)

Q2 [ERR] appears during measurement.

There may be a problem with the sensor. Try taking another measurement. If [ERR] keeps appearing after multiple measurement attempts, contact a CASIO service center or your original retailer.

Temperature Measurement

Q1 [ERR] appears during measurement.

There may be a problem with the sensor. Try taking another measurement. If [ERR] keeps appearing after multiple measurement attempts, contact a CASIO service center or your original retailer.

Alarm and Hourly Time Signal

Q1 An alarm does not sound.
  1. Is the watch's battery charged?
    • → Keep the watch exposed to light until it recharges sufficiently.
      Charging
  2. Other than the above.
    • → The alarm's settings may not be configured. Configure the alarm settings.

    • → Keep the watch exposed to light until it recharges sufficiently.
      Charging
  2. Other than the above.
    • → The hourly time signal may be disabled. Enable the hourly time signal.
      Configuring the Hourly Time Signal Setting

Charging

Q1 The watch does not work even though it is exposed to light.

The watch stops operating whenever the battery goes dead. Keep the watch exposed to light until it recharges sufficiently.
Checking the Charge Level

Q2 [H], [M], and [L] are flashing on the display.

The watch is in the charge recovery mode.
Wait until the recovery process is complete (about 15 minutes). The watch will recover more quickly if you place it in a brightly lit location.

  • If an alarm, hourly time signal, illumination and/or other power-intensive functions are used within a short period of time, the charging capacity of the battery will drop and cause the watch to go into a charge recovery mode. Function availability will be temporarily limited, but functionality will return after the battery recovers.
    Checking the Charge Level
Q3 [CHG] is flashing on the display.

The charge level of the watch is extremely low. Immediately expose the watch to light to charge it.
