Troubleshooting
Time Setting
See “Radio Controlled Atomic Timekeeping” (page E-15) for information about adjusting the time setting
according to a time calibration signal.
■
The current time setting is off by hours.
Your Home City setting may be wrong (page E-28). Check your Home City setting and correct it, if
necessary.
■
The current time setting is off by one hour.
If you are using the watch in an area where time calibration signal reception is possible, see “To confi gure
Home City settings” (page E-28).
If you are using in the watch in an area where time calibration signal reception is not possible, you may
need to change your Home City’s standard time/daylight saving time (DST) setting manually. Use the
procedure under “To change the current time and date settings manually” (page E-31) to change the
standard time/daylight saving time (DST) setting.
Hand Home Position Adjustment
■
There is more than one hour difference between the time indicated by the hands and the time on
the digital display.
In the Timekeeping Mode, the watch performs automatic correction of the hand position error from −55
minutes to +5 minutes, once each hour.
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-86) to adjust them.
E-97
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.

Reading
Temperature Reading Altitude Reading
•
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.
E-98
• 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.
■
“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-38).
• 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.
E-99
■
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.
■
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-83) 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
”.

■
The digital display shows the Err indicator when I check the result of the latest receive
operation.
Possible Cause Remedy Page
• You are wearing or moving the
watch, or performing a button
operation during the signal
receive operation.
• The watch is in an area with
poor reception conditions.
Keep the watch in an area where reception conditions are good
while the signal receive operation is performed.
E-18
You are in an area where signal
reception is not possible for
some reason.
See “Approximate Reception Ranges”. E-16
The calibration signal is not
being transmitted for some
reason.
• Check the website of the organization that maintains the time
calibration signal in your area for information about its down times.
• Try again later.

■
The current time setting changes after I set it manually.
You may have the watch confi gured for Auto Receive of the time calibration signal (page E-19), which will
cause the time to be adjusted automatically according to your currently selected Home City. If this results
in the wrong time setting, check your Home City setting and correct it, if necessary (page E-28).
■
The current time setting is off by one hour.
Possible Cause Remedy Page
Signal reception on a day for
switching between standard
time/daylight saving time (DST)
may have failed for some reason.
Perform the operation under “To get ready for a receive operation”.
The time setting will be adjusted automatically as soon as signal
reception is successful.
E-18
If you are unable to receive the time calibration signal, change the
standard time/daylight saving time (DST) setting manually.
E-31
■
Auto Receive is not performed.
Possible Cause Remedy Page
The watch is not in the
Timekeeping Mode or World
Time Mode.
Auto receive is performed only while the watch is in the Timekeeping
Mode or World Time Mode. Switch to either of these two modes.
E-24
Your Home City setting is wrong. Check your Home City setting and correct it, if necessary. E-28
There is not enough power for
signal reception.
Expose the watch to light to charge it. E-9

■
Signal reception is being performed successfully, but the time and/or day is wrong.
Possible Cause Remedy Page
Your Home City setting is wrong. Check your Home City setting and correct it, if necessary. E-28
