Getting Acquainted
Congratulations upon your selection of this CASIO watch. To get the most out of your
purchase, be sure to carefully read this manual and keep it on hand for later reference
when necessary.
This watch does not have a time zone that corresponds to the Greenwich
Mean Time differential of –3.5 hours. Because of this, the radio-controlled
timekeeping and World Time functions will not display the correct time for
Newfoundland, Canada.
Expose the watch to bright light to charge its battery before using it.
You can use this watch even as its battery is being charged by exposure to bright
light.
Be sure to read "Battery" of this manual for important information you need
to know when exposing the watch to bright light.

Current Time Setting
This watch automatically adjusts its time setting 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 set your Home City,
which is the city where you will normally use the watch. For more information, see
"To set your Home City" below.
When using the watch outside of the range of the transmitter in Fort Collins, you
need to manually adjust the time as required. See "Timekeeping" for information
about manual settings.

Important!
Normally, your watch should show the correct time as soon as you select your Home
City code. 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.
If you are in an area that does not use Daylight Saving Time (summer time), turn off
the DST setting.
Time Calibration Signal Reception
There are two different methods you can use to receive the time calibration signal:
auto receive and manual receive.
If the sleep indicator (S /SLEEP ) is on the display, it
means that the display is blank because the watch's
Power Saving function has shut it to conserve power.
Power Saving automatically turns off the display and
enters a sleep state whenever your watch is left in an
area where it is dark for a certain period.
The initial factory default setting is Power Saving on.
The watch recovers from the sleep state if you move it
to a well-lit area , if you press any button, or if you
*
angle the watch towards your face for reading.
* It can take up to two seconds for the display to turn on.
See "Power Saving Function" for more information.
World Time Mode
Press C.
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 Fort Collins, Colorado (USA).
Reception is possible within North America
The term "North America" in this User's Guide refers to the
*
area that consists of Canada, the continental United States,
and Mexico.
