To turn the auto light switch on and off
1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down
E
until each of the following
steps occurs.
• Hold SET appears on the digital display. ➝ HT fl ashes. ➝ Second
hand points to the current Home City code.
2. Use

current auto light switch setting (
AT OFF
or
AT On
) is fl ashing on the
digital display.
• See step 3 under “To change the current time and date settings” (page
E-22) for information about how to scroll through setting screens.
3. Press
A
to toggle the auto light switch setting between on (
On
) or off
(
OFF
).
4. After the setting is the way you want, press
E
to exit the setting screen.
Illumination Precautions
• Frequent use of illumination can run down the battery, which will require exposing the watch to light for
charging.
The following guidelines give an idea of the charging time required to recover from a single illumination
operation.
Approximately fi ve minutes exposure to bright sunlight coming in through a window
Approximately 50 minutes exposure to indoor fl uorescent lighting
• Illumination may be hard to see when viewed under direct sunlight.
• Illumination turns off automatically whenever an alarm sounds.
• Frequent use of illumination runs down the battery.
E-81
Auto light switch precautions
• Wearing the watch on the inside of your wrist, movement of your arm, or vibration of your arm can
cause frequent activation of the auto light switch and illumination. To avoid running down the battery,
turn off the auto light switch whenever engaging in activities that might cause frequent illumination.
• Note that wearing the watch under your sleeve while the auto light switch is turned on can cause
frequent illumination and can run down the battery.
• Illumination may not turn on if the face of the watch is more than 15 degrees above
or below parallel. Make sure that the back of your hand is parallel to the ground.
• Illumination turns off after the preset illumination duration (page E-78), even if you
keep the watch pointed towards your face.
• Static electricity or magnetic force can interfere with proper operation of the auto
light switch. If illumination does not turn on, try moving the watch back to the
starting position (parallel with the ground) and then tilt it back towards your face
again. If this does not work, drop your arm all the way down so it hangs at your
side, and then bring it back up again.
• You may notice a very faint clicking sound coming from the watch when it is shaken
back and forth. This sound is caused by mechanical operation of the auto light
switch, and does not indicate a problem with the watch.
E-82
Button Operation Tone
The button operation tone sounds any time you press one of the watch’s buttons. You can turn the button
operation tone on or off as desired.
• Even if you turn off the button operation tone, the alarm, Hourly Time Signal, and Countdown Timer
Mode alarm all operate normally.
To turn the button operation tone on and off
1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down
E
until each of the following
steps occurs.
• Hold SET appears on the digital display. ➝ HT fl ashes. ➝ Second
hand points to the current Home City code.
2. Use
D
to cycle through settings on the digital display until the current
button operation tone (
MUTE
or
BEEP
) is displayed.
• See step 3 under “To change the current time and date settings” (page
E-22) for information about how to scroll through setting screens.
3. Press
A
to toggle the button operation tone between on (
BEEP
) or
off (
MUTE
).
4. After the setting is the way you want, press
E
to exit the setting
screen.

Troubleshooting
Time Setting
■
The current time setting is off by one hour.
You may need to change your Home City’s standard time/daylight saving time (DST) setting. Use the
procedure under “To change the current time and date settings” (page E-22) to change the standard time/
daylight saving time (DST) setting.
Hand Home Position Adjustment
■
The time indicated by the hands is different from the time shown on the digital display
If the displayed time and the time indicated by the hands do not match, it could mean that the hand home
positions are off. Use the Hand Home Position Adjustment Mode (page E-76) to adjust them.
Sensor modes
■
I can’t change the temperature, barometric pressure, and altitude units.
When
TOKYO
(
TYO
) is selected as the Home City, the altitude unit is set automatically to meters (m), the
barometric pressure unit to hectopascals (hPa), and the temperature unit to Celsius ( °C). These settings
cannot be changed.
■
“Err” appears on the digital display while I am using a sensor.
Subjecting the watch to strong impact can cause sensor malfunction or improper contact of internal
circuitry. When this happens,
Err
(error) will appear on the digital display and sensor operations will be
disabled.

•
If
Err
appears while a measurement operation is being performed in a sensor mode, restart the measurement.
If
Err
appears on the digital display again, it can mean there is something wrong with the sensor.
•
Even if battery power is at Level 1 (
H
) or Level 2 (
M
), the Compass Mode, Barometer/Thermometer
Mode, or Altimeter Mode sensor may be disabled if there is not enough voltage available to power it
suffi ciently. In this case,
Err
will appear on the digital display. This does not indicate malfunction, and
sensor operation should resume once battery voltage returns to its normal level.
• If
Err
keeps appearing during measurement, it could mean there is a problem with the applicable
sensor.
■
“Err” appears on the digital display after I perform bidirectional calibration or northerly
calibration.
If
- - -
appears and then changes to
Err
(error) on the calibration screen, it means that there is something
wrong with the sensor.
• If
Err
disappears after about one second, try performing the calibration again.
• If
Err
keeps appearing, contact your original dealer or nearest authorized CASIO distributor to have the
watch checked.
E-85
■
“Err” appears on the digital display after I perform northerly calibration.
The
Err
message indicates there may be some problem with the sensor. The
Err
message also may be
due to movement of the watch while the calibration procedure is being performed. Try performing
calibration again, taking care to ensure that the watch is not moved.
If this does not solve the problem, the problem may be due to some nearby source of terrestrial
magnetism. Try performing the calibration procedure again from the beginning.
Whenever you have a sensor malfunction, take the watch to your original dealer or nearest authorized
CASIO distributor as soon as possible.
■
What causes incorrect direction readings?
• Incorrect bidirectional calibration. Perform bidirectional calibration (page E-29).
• Nearby source of strong magnetism, such as a household appliance, a large steel bridge, a steel
beam, overhead wires, etc., or an attempt to perform direction measurement on a train, boat, etc. Move
away from large metal objects and try again. Note that compass operation cannot be performed inside
a train, boat, etc.
■
What causes different direction readings to produce different results at the same location?
Magnetism generated by nearby high-tension wires is interfering with detection of terrestrial magnetism.
Move away from the high-tension wires and try again.
■
Why am I having problems taking direction readings indoors?
A TV, personal computer, speakers, or some other object is interfering with terrestrial magnetism
readings. Move away from the object causing the interference or take the direction reading outdoors.
Indoor direction readings are particularly diffi cult inside ferro-concrete structures. Remember that you will
not be able to take direction readings inside of trains, airplanes, etc.
E-86
■
Why doesn’t the second hand indicate the barometric pressure differential when I enter the
Barometer/Thermometer Mode?
• This could indicate sensor error. Try pressing
B
again.
• The barometric pressure differential is not indicated by the second hand if the pressure reading is
outside the allowable measurement range (260 to 1,100 hPa).
World Time Mode
■
The time for my World Time City is off in the World Time Mode.
This could be due to incorrect switching between standard time and daylight saving time. See “To specify
standard time or daylight saving time (DST) for a city” (page E-74) for more information.
Charging
■
The watch does not resume operation after I expose it to light.
This can happen after the power level drops to Level 5 (page E-11). Continue exposing the watch to light
until the battery power indicator shows “
H
” or “
M
”.
