MO0508-EB Operation Guide 4304 4305 Getting Acquainted Congratulations upon your selection of this CASIO watch. To get the most out of your purchase, be sure to read this manual carefully and keep it on hand for later reference when necessary. Before using the watch for the first time... Some watches are sent from the factory with timekeeping stopped, and the second hand at 12 o’clock. Press the A button to start the second hand. About This Manual Hour hand Minute hand • Button operations are indicated using the letters shown in the illustration. • Each section of this manual provides you with the information you need to perform operations in each mode. Further details and technical information can be found in the “Reference” section. 3. Press B ten times to exit the setting mode. • The watch will also return to the Timekeeping Mode if you do not perform any operation for about three minutes. • Normally, your watch should show the correct time as soon as you exit the Home Time Zone setting screen. If it does not, it should adjust automatically after the next auto receive operation (in the middle of the night). You can also perform manual receive or you can set the time manually. • Even if the time calibration signal is received correctly, there are some times when the analog hands may not indicate the correct time. If this happens, use the procedures under “Adjusting the Home Positions” to check the home positions of the hands, and make adjustments as required. • The watch will receive the time calibration signal automatically from the applicable transmitter (in the middle of the night) and update its settings accordingly. For information about the relationship between time zones (GMT differential values) and transmitters, see “Transmitters”. • See the maps under “Reception Ranges” for information about the reception ranges of the watch. • You can disable time signal reception, if you want. See “To set the time and date manually” for more information. Time Calibration Signal Reception There are two different methods you can use to receive the time calibration signal: auto receive and manual receive. • Auto Receive With auto receive, the watch receives the time calibration signal automatically up to five times a day. When any auto receive is successful, the remaining auto receive operations are not performed. For more information, see “About Auto Receive”. Date Second hand • Manual Receive Manual receive lets you start a time calibration receive operation with the press of a button. For more information, see “To perform manual receive”. General Guide • This watch is designed so the function of a button is executed when you release the button, not when you press it. • Use A and B to change from mode to mode as shown below.

Setting of the date by the time calibration signal cannot be performed starting from January 1, 2099. • This watch can receive signals that differentiate between leap years and non-leap years. • If you are in an area where proper time calibration signal reception is impossible, the watch keeps time within ±20 seconds a month at normal temperature. • If you have problems with proper time calibration signal reception or if the time setting is wrong after signal reception, check your Home Time Zone (GMT differential) setting. The following are the initial factory defaults for this setting. Module 4304: GMT +1.0 Module 4305: GMT 0.0 4304 Press A. • When setting the day, the watch automatically will skip days (30 and 31) that are not included in the currently selected month. If you can’t select 30 or 31 when you want to, check to make sure that the proper month is selected. 4. Press B to exit the setting mode. • This will cause the hands to move to the current time, and resume normal movement. • To find out the module number of your watch, look at its back cover. The Module number (4304 or 4305) is engraved inside the box on the back cover. Transmitters The time calibration signal received by this watch depends on the currently selected home time zone. • When a U.S. time zone is selected, the watch receives the time calibration signal transmitted from the United States (Fort Collins). • When a Japanese time zone is selected, the watch receives the time calibration signal transmitted from the Japan (Fukushima and Fukuoka/Saga). • When a European time zone is selected, the watch receives the time calibration signals transmitted from Germany (Mainflingen) and England (Rugby). The following tables show the reception priority for the European signals. Module 4304 In this case: The watch does this: The first signal search operation after factory default settings are in effect. 1. Checks the Mainflingen signal first. 2. If the Mainflingen signal cannot be received, checks the Rugby signal. 1. Checks the Rugby signal first. 2. If the Rugby signal cannot be received, checks the Mainflingen signal. Note • For more information, see “Daylight Saving Time (DST)” below. • The auto receive setting is used for time calibration signal reception only. See “About Auto Receive” for details. The first signal search operation after the Home Time Zone has been changed. Daylight Saving Time (DST) Module 4305 Daylight Saving Time (summer time) advances the time setting by one hour from Standard Time. Remember that not all countries or even local areas use Daylight Saving Time. The time calibration signals transmitted from Mainflingen (Germany), Rugby (England), or Fort Collins (the United States) include both Standard Time and DST data. When the Auto DST setting is turned on, the watch switches between Standard Time and DST (summer time) automatically in accordance with the signals. • The time calibration signals transmitted from Fukushima and Fukuoka/Saga (Japan) do not include summer time data. • The default DST setting is Auto DST (At) whenever you select 0, +1, +2, E (GMT –5), C (GMT–6), M (GMT–7), or P (GMT–8) as your Home City code. • If you experience problems receiving the time calibration signal in your area, it is probably best to switch between Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time (summer time) manually. To change the Daylight Saving Time (summer time) setting 1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down B until the currently selected Time Zone appears on the display. This is the setting mode. 2. Press B and the DST setting screen appears. 3. Use A to cycle through the DST settings in the sequence shown below. Auto DST (At) DST on (On) DST off (OF) 4. When the setting you want is selected, press B nine times to exit the setting screen. Reference This section contains more detailed and technical information about watch operation. It also contains important precautions and notes about the various features and functions of this watch. Auto Return Features • If you leave the watch in the Home Position Adjustment Mode for about three minutes without performing any operation, it returns to the Timekeeping Mode automatically. • If you do not perform any operation for about three minutes while a setting mode is selected, the watch will exit the setting mode automatically. Button Operation Timing This watch is designed so the function of a button is executed when you release the button, not when you press it. Scrolling In this case: The watch does this: The first signal search operation after factory default settings are in effect. 1. Checks the Rugby signal first. 2. If the Rugby signal cannot be received, checks the Mainflingen signal. 1. Checks the Rugby signal first. 2. If the Rugby signal cannot be received, checks the Mainflingen signal. The first signal search operation after the Home Time Zone has been changed. Timekeeping • The year can be set in the range of 2001 to 2098. • 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 after you have the watch’s battery replaced. • The current time for all time zones in the Timekeeping Mode is calculated in accordance with the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) differential of each zone, based on your Home Time Zone time setting. • GMT differential is calculated by this watch based on Universal Time Coordinated (UTC*) data. * UTC is the world-wide scientific standard of timekeeping. It is based upon carefully maintained atomic (cesium) clocks that keep time accurately to within microseconds. Leap seconds are added or subtracted as necessary to keep UTC in sync with the Earth’s rotation. The reference point for UTC is Greenwich, England. Time Zone Table Display Indicator *1 GMT Differential –11.0 –10.0 –09.0 –08.0 –07.0 –06.0 –05.0 –04.0 –03.0 –02.0 –01.0 +00.0 +01.0 +02.0 • The A button is used to change the hand setting in various setting modes. In most cases, holding down the A button will start high-speed movement of the applicable hand(s). • High-speed movement of the hands will continue until it completes a 12-hour cycle, or until you press A button to stop it. +03.0 +04.0 +05.0 +06.0 +07.0 Radio-controlled Timekeeping Precautions +09.0 +10.0 +11.0 +12.0 • Strong electrostatic charge can result in the wrong time being set. • Even when the watch is within the reception range of the transmitter, signal reception will be impossible if the signal is blocked by mountains or other geological formations between the watch and signal source. • Signal reception is affected by weather, atmospheric conditions, and seasonal changes. • 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. • Even if the time calibration signal is received properly, certain conditions can cause the time setting to be off by up to one second. • The current time setting in accordance with the time calibration signal takes priority over any time settings you make manually. +08.0 Major cities in same time zone (Letters in parentheses are city codes.*1) Pago Pago (PPG) Honolulu (HNL), Papeete Anchorage (ANC), Nome Los Angeles (LAX), San Francisco, Las Vegas, Vancouver, Seattle/Tacoma, Dawson City Denver (DEN), El Paso, Edmonton Chicago (CHI), Houston, Dallas/Fort Worth, New Orleans, Mexico City, Winnipeg New York (NYC), Montreal, Detroit, Miami, Boston, Panama City, Havana, Lima, Bogota Caracas (CCS), La Paz, Santiago, Port Of Spain Rio De Janeiro (RIO), Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires, Brasilia, Montevideo Praia (RAI) London (LON), Dublin, Lisbon, Casablanca, Dakar, Abidjan Paris (PAR), Milan, Rome, Madrid, Amsterdam, Algiers, Hamburg, Berlin (BER), Frankfurt, Vienna, Stockholm Cairo (CAI), Jerusalem (JRS), Helsinki, Istanbul, Beirut, Damascus, Cape Town, Athens Jeddah (JED), Kuwait, Riyadh, Aden, Addis Ababa, Nairobi, Moscow Dubai (DXB), Abu Dhabi, Muscat Karachi (KHI), Male Dhaka (DAC), Colombo Bangkok (BKK), Jakarta, Phnom Penh, Hanoi, Vientiane Hong Kong (HKG), Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Beijing, Taipei, Manila, Perth, Ulaanbaatar Tokyo (TYO), Seoul, Pyongyang Sydney (SYD), Melbourne, Guam, Rabaul Noumea (NOU), Port Vila Wellington (WLG), Christchurch, Nadi, Nauru Island • Based on data as of December 2004. *1 Display indicators and city codes are marked on the back cover of the watch. 3 Operation Guide 4304 4305 Days of the Week English Spanish French German Italian Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday 4
