Troubleshooting
Time Setting
■
The current time setting is off by hours.
Your Home City setting may be wrong (page E-14). Check your Home City setting and
correct it, if necessary.
■
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-17) to change the standard time/daylight saving time (DST) setting.
Sensor modes
■
I can’t change the temperature, barometric pressure, and altitude units.
When
TYO
(Tokyo) 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.
E-56
■
The battery indicator (
) appears while a sensor operation is being
performed.
The battery indicator appears in the upper left corner of
the digital display whenever there is not enough battery
power available to perform a sensor operation in the
Barometer/Thermometer Mode or Altimeter Mode. Sensor
operation is disabled while the battery indicator is
displayed.
• Normal operation should return after battery power
recovers.
■
“ERR” appears while a sensor operation is in progress.
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 display
and sensor operations will be disabled.

Measurement
•
If
ERR
appears while a measurement operation is being performed in a sensor
mode, restart the measurement. If
ERR
appears on the display again, it can mean
there is something wrong with the sensor.
• Barometer/Thermometer Mode and Altimeter Mode sensor operations are disabled
whenever there is not enough battery power available to perform a sensor
operation. This is true regardless of the current battery level. In this case,
ERR
will
appear on the display. This does not indicate malfunction, and sensor operation
should resume once battery voltage returns to its normal level.
E-58
• If
ERR
keeps appearing during measurement, it could mean there is a problem with
the applicable sensor.
Whenever you have a sensor malfunction, take the watch to your original dealer or
nearest authorized CASIO distributor as soon as possible.
■
The barometric pressure differential pointer does not appear on the display
when I enter the Barometer/Thermometer Mode.
• This could indicate sensor error. Try using
B
to re-enter the Barometer/
Thermometer Mode.
•
The barometric pressure differential pointer is not displayed when the displayed current
barometric value is outside of 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-41) for more information.
