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.
Keep the watch exposed to bright light
The electricity generated by the solar cell of the watch is
stored by a built-in battery. Leaving or using the watch where
it is not exposed to light causes the battery to run down.
Make sure the watch is exposed to light as much as possible.
When you are not wearing the watch on your wrist,
position the face so it is pointed at a source of bright light.
You should try to keep the watch outside of your sleeve
as much as possible. Charging is reduced significantly if
the face is only partially covered.

The watch continues to operate, even when it is not exposed to light. Leaving the
watch in the dark can cause the battery to run down, which will result in some watch
functions to be disabled. If the battery goes dead, you will have to re-configure watch
settings after recharging. To ensure normal watch operation, be sure to keep it
exposed to light as much as possible.

single illumination operation.
Approximately 5 minutes exposure to bright sunlight coming in through a window

Be sure to read “Power Supply” 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 in an area that is outside of the range of the transmitters in
Anthorn and Mainflingen, you need to manually adjust the time as required. See
“Timekeeping” for information about manual settings.
The analog time of this watch is synchronized with the digital time. Because of this,
the analog time setting is automatically adjusted whenever you change the digital
setting. See “Analog Timekeeping” for more information.

transmitter indicator (
AT
,
DCF

which indicates the setting screen.

advancing to the next step.

o’clock position, where it will stop.

4. Press A twice to exit the setting screen.
The first press of A displays the 12/24-hour setting screen. Pressing A again exits
the setting screen.
The second hand will advance at high speed to the correct position in accordance
with seconds count of the digital time, and resume normal movement from there.
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 (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.
See Transmitters for details about the transmitter indicator.
