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.
General Guide
• Press C to change from mode to mode.
• In any mode (except when a setting screen is on the display), press A to illuminate
the face of the watch.
Timekeeping Mode
Radio-controlled Atomic Timekeeping
This watch receives a time calibration signal and updates its time setting accordingly.
The time calibration signal includes both Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time
(summer time) data.
• This watch is designed to pick up the time calibration signal transmitted from
Mainflingen, Germany and the signal from Rugby, England.
Current Time Setting
This watch adjusts its time setting automatically in accordance with a time calibration
signal. You can also perform a manual procedure to set the time and date, when
necessary.
• The first thing you should do after purchasing this watch is to specify your Home
Time Zone, which is the time zone where you will normally use the watch. For more
information, see "To specify your Home Time Zone" below.
• When using the watch outside the range of the time signal transmitter, you will have
to adjust the current time setting manually as required. See "Timekeeping" for more
information about manual time settings.

3. Press B to exit the setting screen.
• The watch will also return to the Timekeeping Mode if you do not perform any
operation for two or three minutes.
• Your watch should show the correct time when you exit the Home Time Zone setting
screen. While the hands are moving to the new time setting, the current time will be
shown on the digital display. If it does not, it should adjust automatically after the
next auto receive operation (in the middle of the night). You can also perform manual
receive or you can set the time manually.
• Even if the time calibration signal is received correctly, there are some times when
the analog hands may not indicate the correct time. If this happens, use the
procedures under "Adjusting the Home Positions" to check the home positions of the
hands, and make adjustments as required.
• See the map under "Reception Ranges" for information about the reception ranges
of the watch.
• You can disable time signal reception, if you want. See "To set the time and date
manually" for more information.
Time Calibration Signal Reception
There are two different methods you can use to receive the time calibration signal:
auto receive and manual receive.
• Auto Receive
With auto receive, the watch receives the time calibration signal automatically up to six
times a day. When any auto receive is successful, the remaining auto receive
operations are not performed. For more information, see "About Auto Receive".
• Manual Receive
Manual receive lets you start a time calibration receive operation with the press of a
button. For more information, see "To perform manual receive".
