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.
• This watch does not have a time zone that corresponds to the UTC offset of
–3.5 hours. Because of this, the radio-controlled timekeeping and World Time
functions will not display the correct time for Newfoundland, Canada.

Caution!
Your watch is shipped with its Auto Display feature (which continually changes the
contents of the digital display) turned on. Calibration signal reception is disabled while
Auto Display is turned on.
Press any button to turn off Auto Display and return to the Timekeeping Mode.

About This Manual
• Button operations are indicated using the letters shown
in the illustration.
• Each section of this manual provides you with the
information you need in order to perform operations in
each mode. Further details and technical information
can be found in the “Reference” section.

Important!

This watch receives a time calibration signal and updates
its time setting accordingly.
• Supported time calibration signals: United States (Fort
Collins), England (Anthorn).
• See the information under “Signal Reception
Troubleshooting” if you experience problems with time
calibration signal reception.
Current Time Setting
This watch adjusts its time setting automatically in
accordance with a time calibration signal. You can also
perform a manual procedure to set the time and date,
when necessary.
• The first thing you should do after purchasing this
watch is to specify your Home City (the city where you
normally will use the watch). For more information,
see “To specify your Home City”.

• When using the watch outside the areas covered by the time signal transmitters, you
will have to adjust the current time setting manually as required. See “Timekeeping”
for more information about manual time settings.
• The U.S. time calibration signal can be picked up by the watch while in North
America. The term “North America” in this manual refers to the area that consists of
Canada, the continental United States, and Mexico.
To specify your Home City

• Normally, your watch should show the correct time as soon as you select your Home
City code. 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.
• 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 city codes and transmitters, see “Home
City Codes and Transmitters”.
• Under factory default settings, auto receive is turned off for all of the following city
codes: HNL (Honolulu), ANC (Anchorage), ATH (Athens), and MOW (Moscow). For
details about turning on auto receive for these city codes, see “To turn auto receive
on and off”.
• You can disable time signal reception, if you want. See “To turn auto receive on and
off” for more information.
• See the maps under “Approximate Reception Ranges” for information about the
reception ranges of the watch.
• If you are in an area that does not use Daylight Saving Time (summertime), turn off
the DST setting.
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
six times a day. When any auto receive is successful, the remaining auto receive
operations are not performed. For more information, see “About Auto Receive”.
• 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”.

Operation Guide 3140
Important!
• When getting ready to receive the time calibration signal, position the watch as
shown in the nearby illustration, with its 12 o’clock side facing towards a window.
This watch is designed to receive a time calibration signal late at night. Because of
this, you should place the watch near a window as shown in the illustration when
you take it off at night. Make sure there are no metal objects nearby.

12 o’clock
or

• Make sure the watch is facing the right way.
• Proper signal reception can be difficult or even impossible under the conditions listed
below.

Note
• When a calibration time is reached, the watch will receive the calibration signal
only if it is in either the Timekeeping Mode or World Time Mode. Reception is not
performed if a calibration time is reached while you are configuring settings.
• 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.
• The watch receives the calibration signal for two to seven minutes everyday when
the time in the Timekeeping Mode reaches each of the calibration times. Avoid
performing any button operation within seven minutes before or after any one of the
calibration times. Doing so can interfere with correct calibration.
• Remember that reception of the calibration signal depends on the current time in the
Timekeeping Mode. The receive operation will be performed whenever the display
shows any one of the calibration times, regardless of whether or not the displayed
time actually is the correct time.
• Calibration signal reception is disabled while a countdown timer operation is in
progress.

About the Receiving Indicator
The receiving indicator shows the strength of the calibration signal being received.
For best reception, be sure to keep the watch in a location where signal strength is
strongest.

• Signal reception may not be possible at the distances noted below during certain
times of the year or day. Radio interference may also cause problems with reception.
Anthorn (England) transmitter: 500 kilometers (310 miles)
Fort Collins (United States) transmitter: 600 miles (1,000 kilometers)
• In April 2007, the U.K. signal transmitter was moved from Rugby to Anthorn, which
resulted in a slight shift in the approximate reception range of the signal. The shift is
so slight that there is virtually no change in the ability to receive the signal.
• Even when the watch is within the reception range of a transmitter, signal reception
may be impossible at times due to the effects of geographic contours, structures,
weather, the season of the year, the time of day, radio interference, etc. Note that
the signal becomes weaker at distances of approximately 500 kilometers from the
transmitter, which means that the influence of the conditions listed above becomes
even greater.

About Auto Receive
The watch receives the time calibration signal automatically up to six times a day.
When any auto receive is successful, the 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.

• Even in an area where signal strength is strong, it takes about 10 seconds for signal
reception to stabilize enough for the receiving indicator to indicate signal strength.
• Use the receiving indicator as a guide for checking signal strength and for finding the
best location for the watch during signal receive operations.
• Following reception of the time calibration signal and calibration of the watch’s time
setting, the Level 3 receiving indicator will remain on the display in all modes. The
Level 3 receiving indicator will not be displayed if signal reception was unsuccessful
or after you adjust the current time setting manually.
• The Level 3 receiving indicator is displayed only when the watch is able to receive
both time and date data successfully. It does not appear when only time data is
received.
• The Level 3 receiving indicator indicates that at least one of the auto calibration

4. When the setting you want is selected, press A to exit the setting screen.
• The DST indicator appears to indicate that Daylight Saving Time is turned on.

• The display of the watch is blank while an auto receive operation is in progress.
• Strong electrostatic charge can result in the wrong time being set.
• The time calibration signal is bounced 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.
• 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 a time
calibration signal cannot be performed starting from January 1, 2100.
• This watch can receive signals that differentiate between leap years and non-leap
years.
• 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.
• Normally, the signal reception date shown by the Last Signal screen is the date data
included in the received time calibration signal. When only time data is received,
however, the Last Signal screen shows the date as kept in the Timekeeping Mode at
the time of signal reception.
• If you are in an area where proper time calibration signal reception is impossible, the
watch keeps time with the precision noted in “Specifications”.
• 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, DST (summer
time), and auto receive settings. The following are the initial factory defaults for
these settings.

Timekeeping
• Resetting the seconds to 00 while the current count is in the range of 30 to 59
causes the minutes to be increased by 1. In the range of 00 to 29, the seconds are
reset to 00 without changing the minutes.
• The day of the week is displayed automatically in accordance with the date (year,
month, and day) settings.
• The year can be set in the range of 2000 to 2099.
• 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 times for the Timekeeping Mode and all the city codes of the World Time Mode
are calculated in accordance with each city’s UTC offset.
• The UTC offset is a value that indicates the time difference between a reference
point in Greenwich, England and the time zone where a city is located.
• The letters “UTC” is the abbreviation for “Coordinated Universal Time”, which 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.

12-hour/24-hour Timekeeping Formats
The 12-hour/24-hour timekeeping format you select in the Timekeeping Mode is also
applied in all other modes.
• With the 12-hour format, the PM indicator (P) appears on the display for times in
the range of noon to 11:59 p.m. and no indicator appears for times in the range of
midnight to 11:59 a.m.
• With the 24-hour format, times are displayed in the range of 0:00 to 23:59, without
any indicator.

Illumination
This watch has an EL (electro-luminescent) panel that causes the entire display to
glow for easy reading in the dark. In any mode (except when a setting screen is on the
display), press B to illuminate the display for about three seconds.

Illumination Precautions
• The electro-luminescent panel that provides illumination loses power after very long
use.
• Illumination may be hard to see when viewed under direct sunlight.
• The watch may emit an audible sound whenever the display is illuminated. This
is due to vibration of the EL panel used for illumination, and does not indicate
malfunction.
• Illumination turns off automatically whenever an alarm sounds.
• Frequent use of illumination runs down the battery.

• Based on data as of June 2007.
• The rules governing global times (GMT differential and UTC offset) and summer time are determined by
each individual country.
* In December 2007, Venezuela changed its offset from –4.0 to –4.5. Note, however, that this watch
displays an offset of –4.0 (the old offset) for the CCS (Caracas, Venezuela) city code.
