Keep the watch exposed to bright light  
The electricity generated by the solar cell of the watch is stored by a built-in  
Bright Light  
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.  
x When you are not wearing the watch on your wrist, position the face so it is  
pointed at a source of bright light.  
Solar cell  
x You should try to keep the watch outside of your sleeve as much as  
possible. Charging is reduced significantly if the face is even only partially  
covered.

x 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.  
If the display of the watch is blank...  
If the display of the watch is blank, it means that the watch’s Power Saving function has turned off the  
display to conserve power.

About Auto Receive  
Auto Receive Start Times  
Your Home City  
The watch receives the time calibration signal automatically up to six times a day (five times for the China  
signal). When any auto receive is successful, remaining auto receive operations are not performed.  
The reception schedule (calibration times) depends on your currently selected Home City, and whether  
standard time or Daylight Saving Time is selected for your Home City.

x Auto receive of the calibration signal is designed to be performed early in the morning, while you sleep  
(provided that the Timekeeping Mode time is set correctly). Before going to bed for the night, remove  
the watch from your wrist, and put it in a location where it can receive the signal easily.  
x The watch receives the calibration signal for two to 14 minutes everyday when the time in the  
Timekeeping Mode reaches a calibration time. Do not perform any button operation within 14 minutes  
before or after the calibration times. Doing so can interfere with correct calibration.  
x Remember that reception of the calibration signal depends on the current time in your Home City, as  
kept in the Timekeeping Mode.

To illuminate the display manually  
In any mode (except a setting mode), press B to turn on the illumination for  
about one second.  
Warning!  
x The above operation turns on illumination regardless of the current auto light  
switch setting.  
x Always make sure you are in a safe place whenever you are reading the display of the watch  
using the auto light switch. Be especially careful when running or engaged in any other activity  
that can result in accident or injury.  
About the Auto Light Switch  
Turning on the auto light switch causes illumination to turn on, whenever you position your wrist as  
described below in any mode.  
Note that this watch features a “Full Auto LED Light”, so the auto light switch operates only when available  
light is below a certain level. It does not illuminate the display under bright light.  
x The auto light switch is always disabled, regardless of its on/off setting, when any one of the following  
conditions exists.  
Also take care that sudden illumination by the auto light switch does not startle or distract  
others around you.  
x When you are wearing the watch, make sure that its auto light switch is turned off before riding a  
bicycle or operating a motorcycle or any other motor vehicle. Sudden and unintended operation  
of the auto light switch can create a distraction, which can result in a traffic accident and serious  
personal injury.  
To turn the auto light switch on and off  
While an alarm is sounding  
While a signal receive operation is in progress  
In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down B for about three seconds to toggle the auto light switch on (auto  
light switch on indicator displayed) and off (auto light switch on indicator not displayed).  
x The auto light switch on indicator is on the display in all modes while the auto light switch is turned on.

Important!  
Power Supply  
x Storing the watch for long periods in an area where there is no light or wearing it in such a way that it  
is blocked from exposure to light can cause rechargeable battery power to run down. Be sure that the  
watch is exposed to bright light whenever possible.  
x This watch uses a special rechargeable battery to store power produced by the solar cell, so regular  
battery replacement is not required. However, after very long use, the rechargeable battery may lose  
its ability to achieve a full charge. If you experience problems getting the special rechargeable battery  
to charge fully, contact your dealer or CASIO distributor about having it replaced.  
x Never try to remove or replace the watch’s special battery yourself. Use of the wrong type of battery  
can damage the watch.  
x All data stored in memory is deleted, and the current time and all other settings return to their initial  
factory defaults whenever battery power drops to Level 5 (C: Charge) (page E-38) and when you have  
the battery replaced.  
x Turn on the watch’s Power Saving function (page E-51) and keep it in an area normally exposed to  
bright light when storing it for long periods. This helps to keep the rechargeable battery from going  
dead.  
This watch is equipped with a solar cell and a special rechargeable battery (secondary battery) that is  
charged by the electrical power produced by the solar cell. The illustration shown below shows how you  
should position the watch for charging.  
Example:  
Solar cell  
Orient the watch so its face is pointing at a light source.  
x The illustration shows how to position a watch with a  
resin band.  
x Note that charging efficiency drops when any part of the  
solar cell is blocked by clothing, etc.  
x You should try to keep the watch outside of your sleeve  
as much as possible. Charging is reduced significantly  
if the face is even only partially covered.  
E-36  
E-37  
x The flashing  
indicator at Level 3 (L) tells you that battery power is very low, and that exposure  
Battery Power Indicator and Power Recovery Mode indicator  
LOW  
to bright light for charging is required as soon as possible.  
The battery power indicator indicates you the current status of the rechargeable battery’s power.  
x At Level 5 (C: Charge), all functions are disabled and settings return to their initial factory defaults.  
Once the battery reaches Level 2 (M) after falling to Level 5 (C: Charge), reconfigure the current time,

x Display indicators reappear as soon as the battery is charged from Level 5 (C: Charge) to Level 2 (M).  
x The watch’s Home City code setting will change automatically to TYO (Tokyo) whenever the battery  
drops to Level 5 (C: Charge). With this Home City code setting, the watch is configured to receive the  
time calibration signals of Japan. If you are using the watch in North America or Europe, or China you  
will need to change the Home City code setting to match your location whenever the battery drops to  
Level 5 (C: Charge).  
x Leaving the watch exposed to direct sunlight or some other very strong light source can cause the  
battery power indicator to show a reading temporarily that is higher than the actual battery level. The  
correct battery level should be indicated after a few minutes.

Radio-controlled Atomic Timekeeping Precautions  
x Strong electrostatic charge can cause the time setting to be thrown off.  
x The time calibration signal bounces off the ionosphere. Because of this, such factors as changes in  
the reflectivity of the ionosphere, as well as movement of the ionosphere to higher altitudes due to  
seasonal atmospheric changes or the time of day may change the reception range of the signal and  
make reception temporarily impossible.  
x Even if the time calibration signal is received properly, certain conditions can cause the time setting to  
be off by up to one second.  
x The current time setting in accordance with the time calibration signal takes priority over any time  
settings you make manually.  
x The watch is designed to update the date and day of the week automatically for the period January 1,  
2000 to December 31, 2099. Setting of the date by the time calibration signal cannot be performed  
starting from January 1, 2100.

x Wearing the watch inside the sleeve of clothing can cause it to enter the sleep state.  
x The watch will not enter the sleep state between 6:00 AM and 9:59 PM. If the watch is already in the

To recover from the sleep state  
Perform any one of the following operations.  
x Move the watch to a well-lit area.  
x Press any button.  
x This watch can receive signals that differentiate between leap years and non-leap years.  
x Angle the watch towards your face for reading (page E-35).  
E-50  
E-51  
x Though this watch is designed to receive both time data (hour, minutes, seconds) and date data (year,  
month, day), certain signal conditions can limit reception to time data only.  
x If you are in an area where proper time calibration signal reception is impossible, the watch keeps the  
time with the precision noted in “Specifications”.  
x If you have problems with proper time calibration signal reception or if the time setting is wrong after  
signal reception, check your current city code, and DST (Daylight Saving Time) settings (page E-46).  
Auto Return Features  
x If you leave the watch with a flashing setting on the display for two or three minutes without performing  
any operation, the watch will exit the setting mode automatically.  
x The watch will return to the Timekeeping Mode automatically if you do not perform any operation for  
two or three minutes in the Alarm Mode.  
x The Home City setting reverts to the initial default of

to Level 5 (C: Charge) or when you have the rechargeable battery replaced. If this happens, change  
the Home City to the setting you want (page E-11).  
Transmitters  
Initial Screens  
The time calibration signal received by this watch depends on the currently selected Home City (page  
E-11).  
x When a U.S. time zone is selected, the watch receives the time calibration signal transmitted from the  
United States (Fort Collins).  
x When a Japanese time zone is selected, the watch receives the time calibration signals transmitted  
from Japan (Fukushima and Fukuoka/Saga).  
x When a European time zone is selected, the watch receives the time calibration signals transmitted  
from Germany (Mainflingen) and England (Anthorn).  
When you enter the World Time Mode or Alarm Mode, the data you were viewing when you last exited the  
screen will appear first.  
Timekeeping  
x Resetting the seconds to  
be increased by 1. In the range of 00 to 29, the seconds are reset to  
while the current count is in the range of 30 to 59 causes the minutes to  
without changing the minutes.  
x The year can be set in the range of 2000 to 2099.  
x The watch’s built-in full automatic calendar makes allowances for different month lengths and leap  
years. Once you set the date, there should be no reason to change it except when battery power drops  
to Level 5 (C: Charge) (page E-38).  
x The current time for all city codes in the Timekeeping Mode and World Time Mode is calculated in  
accordance with the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) for each city, based on your Home City time  
setting.  
x When a China time zone is selected, the watch receives the time calibration signal transmitted from  
China (Shangqiu City).  
x When your Home City is LIS, LON, MAD, PAR, ROM, BER, STO, ATH, MOW (which can receive  
both the Anthorn and Mainflingen signals), the watch first tries to pick up the signal it last received  
successfully. If that fails, it tries the other signal. For the first receive after you select your Home City,  
the watch tries the nearest signal first (Anthorn for LIS, LON, Mainflingen for MAD, PAR, ROM, BER,  
STO, ATH, and MOW).

x Illumination turns off in about one second, even if you keep the watch pointed  
towards your face.  
x 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 toward you  
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.  
World Time: 48 cities (29 time zones)/and Coordinated Universal Time  
x Under certain conditions, illumination may not turn on until about one second after you turn the face of  
the watch towards you. This does not necessarily indicate malfunction of the auto light switch.  
x 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.
