MO0512-EA Operation Guide 4383 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 Greenwich Mean Time differential of -3.5 hours. Because of this, the radio-controlled timekeeping will not display the correct time for Newfoundland, Canada. Bright light l l l l l l l l l l l Keep the watch exposed to bright light Solar cell The electricity generated by the solar cell of the watch is stored by a built-in 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. • When you are not wearing the watch on your wrist, position the face so it is pointed at a source of bright light. • You should try to keep the watch outside of your sleeve as much as possible. Even if the face of the watch is blocked only partially from light, charging will be reduced significantly. • 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 cause 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. Battery charges in the light. Solar cell (Converts light to electrical power.) If the analog hands aren’t moving... If the analog hands aren’t moving, it means that the power saving mode has stopped them to save battery power. • See “Power Saving” for more information. • The hands also stop whenever the battery level reaches Level 3.

General Guide • Press B to change from mode to mode. Timekeeping Mode Home Position Adjustment Mode Receive Result Mode Press B. ▲ ▲ 30 30 30 ▲ Radio-controlled Atomic Timekeeping This watch receives a time calibration signal and updates its time setting accordingly. The time calibration signal includes both Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time (summer time) data. • This watch is designed to pick up the time calibration signal transmitted in the United States (Fort Collins, Colorado). • 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. 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 Time Zone, which is the time zone where you will normally use the watch. For more information, see “To specify your Home Time Zone” below. • When using the watch outside the range of the U.S. time signal transmitter, you have to adjust the current time setting manually as required. See “Timekeeping” for more information about manual time settings. To specify your Home Time Zone 1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down A for about five seconds until the second hand moves to the currently selected GMT differential value and stops. This is the setting mode. • The GMT differential value indicates the time difference in hours between Greenwich Mean Time 30 and the currently selected time zone. 2. Press B to select the time zone you want to use as your Home Time Zone. GMT differential GMT –05 (5 o’clock): Miami, Toronto, New York, value (–05) Montreal, Detroit, Boston, Panama City, GMT GMT differential Havana, Lima, Bogota differential value (–06) GMT –06 (6 o’clock): Mexico City, Winnipeg, Chicago, value GMT differential Houston, Dallas/Fort Worth, New Orleans (–08) value (–07) GMT –07 (7 o’clock): Edmonton, Denver, El Paso, Culiacan GMT –08 (8 o’clock): Vancouver, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Seattle/Tacoma, Dawson City, Tijuana 3. Press A eight times to exit the setting mode. • The watch will also return to the Timekeeping Mode if you do not perform any operation for about two or three minutes. • Normally, your watch should show the correct time as soon as you specify your Home Time Zone. 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. 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”. Important! • When getting ready to receive the time calibration signal, position the watch as shown in the nearby illustration, with its 9 o’clock side facing towards a window. Make sure there are no metal objects nearby. 9 o’clock or • The watch should not be facing the wrong way. • Note that this watch does not have a city code that corresponds to Newfoundland. 1 Operation Guide 4383 • Proper signal reception can be difficult or even impossible under the conditions listed below. Inside or among buildings Inside a vehicle Near household appliances, office equipment, or a mobile phone Near a construction site, airport, or other sources of electrical noise Near hightension power lines Among or behind mountains • Signal reception normally is better at night than during the day. • Time calibration signal reception takes from four to seven minutes, but in some cases it can take as long as 14 minutes. Take care that you do not perform any button operations or move the watch during this time. • This watch is designed to pick up the time calibration signal transmitted in the United States (Fort Collins, Colorado). Reception Range Fort Collins • At distances further than about 600 miles (1,000 kilometers) from the Fort Collins transmitter, signal reception may not be possible during certain times of year or times of day. Radio interferance may also cause problems with reception. • 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. • See the information under “Signal Reception Troubleshooting” if you experience problems with time calibration signal reception. About Auto Receive The watch starts to receive the time calibration signal automatically when the time in the Timekeeping Mode reaches 0:01 a.m., 1:00 a.m., 2:00 a.m., 3:00 a.m., and 4:00 a.m. each day (calibration times). The watch also will perform an additional auto receive at 5:00 a.m. if none of the regularly scheduled auto receive operations are successful. 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 Time Zone, and whether standard time or Daylight Saving Time is selected for your Home Time Zone. Note • The auto receive operation is performed only if the watch is in the Timekeeping Mode when one of the calibration times is reached. It is not performed if a calibration time is reached while you are configuring settings. • Auto receipt of the calibration signal is 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 four to seven minutes everyday when the time in the Timekeeping Mode reaches each of the calibration times. Do not perform 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 is actually the correct time. To perform manual receive 1. Place the watch on a stable surface so its 9 o’clock side is facing towards a window. 2. In any mode, hold down B for about two seconds until the watch beeps. 3. When you release B, the second hand will move to R 30 (READY) to indicate that the watch is setting up for time calibration reception. • The second hand will move to W (WORK) and stay there while actual reception is in progress. • The hour and minute hands continue to keep time normally. • Time calibration signal reception takes from four to seven minutes, but in some cases it can take up to 14 minutes. Take care that you do not perform any button 30 operations or move the watch during this time. • If reception is successful, the second hand will move to Y (YES). One or two minutes later, the hands will move to the correct time. Note • To interrupt a receive operation and return to the Timekeeping Mode, press any button. • If reception is not successful, the second hand will move to N (NO). One or two minutes later, the second hand will resume normal operation, without any adjustment of the hand setting. • If the second hand is pointing to Y (YES) or N (NO), you can return to the Timekeeping Mode by pressing any button. Viewing the Latest Signal Reception Results You can use the Receive Result Mode to check if signal reception was performed correctly. To check the latest signal reception results Enter the Receive Result Mode. • If the watch was able to perform a successful signal receive operation since midnight, the second hand will move to Y (YES). If the watch has been unable to receive any signal successfully, the second hand will move to N (NO). • To return to the Timekeeping Mode, press B three 30 times. • The current receive result is cleared when the first auto receive operation is performed on the following day. This means Y (YES) indicates successful signal reception since the start of the current day. • Y (YES) continues to be indicated even if an attempt at manual receive fails after auto receive is successful. • If you adjust the time or date setting manually, the second hand will move to N (NO).

The illustration shown below shows how you should position the watch for charging. Example: Orient the watch so its face is pointing at a light source. • The illustration shows how to position a watch with a resin band. • Note that charging efficiency drops when any part of the solar cell is blocked by clothing, etc. • You should try to keep the watch outside of your sleeve as much as possible. Even if the face of the watch is blocked from light only partially, charging will be reduced significantly. Solar cell Hand Movement Function Status 1 Normal. All functions enabled. 2 •Second hand jumps every 2 seconds. •Date changes to home position at midnight. •Second hand stopped. •Hour and minute hands stopped at 12 o’clock. All functions disabled, except for analog timekeeping. 30 3 All functions disabled. Jumps 2 seconds • The second hand jumping every two seconds (Level 2) indicates that battery power is quite low. Expose the watch to light as soon as possible to charge the battery. • When battery power is at Level 2, time calibration signal reception is disabled. • At Level 3, all functions are disabled and settings return to their initial factory defaults. The analog hands will move to the current time and normal timekeeping will resume when the battery is recharged sufficiently. Charging Precautions Certain charging conditions can cause the watch to become very hot. Avoid leaving the watch in the areas described below whenever charging its rechargeable battery. Warning! Leaving the watch in bright light to charge its rechargeable battery can cause it to become quite hot. Take care when handling the watch to avoid burn injury. The watch can become particularly hot when exposed to the following conditions for long periods. • On the dashboard of a car parked in direct sunlight • Too close to an incandescent lamp • Under direct sunlight Charging Guide After a full charge, timekeeping remains enabled for up to about five months. • The following table shows the amount of time the watch needs to be exposed to light each day in order to generate enough power for normal daily operations. Exposure Level (Brightness) Approximate Exposure Time Outdoor sunlight (50,000 lux) 6 minutes Sunlight through a window (10,000 lux) 30 minutes Daylight through a window on a cloudy day (5,000 lux) 48 minutes Indoor fluorescent lighting (500 lux) 8 hours • Since these are the specs, we can include all the technical details. • Watch is not exposed to light • Internal timekeeping • Analog hands operational 18 hours per day, sleep state 6 hours per day • 1 time calibration reception per day • Stable operation is promoted by frequent charging. Recovery Times The table below shows the amount exposure that is required to take the battery from one level to the next.

If you can’t select 30 or 31 when you want to, check to make sure that the proper month is selected. 4. After setting the 1’s digit of the year, press A to exit the setting mode. • This will cause the hands to move to the current time, and resume normal movement. • Make sure that you set the time correctly as AM or PM (as indicated by the second hand) when setting the time. The second hand will move between AM and PM any time the hour hand moves past 12 o’clock while you are setting the time. The movement of the analog hands indicates the current battery power level. ▲ 0 While the second hand is here: Do this: Use B (+). 12 o’clock Current month 10’s digit of current year 1’s digit of current year Battery Power Levels 1 hour 16 hours 3 hours 78 hours 4 hours ––– 37 hours ––– • The above exposure time values are all for reference only. Actual required exposure times depend on lighting conditions. 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 30 Important! • 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. Make sure that the watch is exposed to bright light whenever possible. • 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. • Never try to remove or replace the watch’s special battery yourself. Use of the wrong type of battery can damage the watch. • The current time and all other settings return to their initial factory defaults whenever battery power drops to Level 3 and when you have the battery replaced. • Keep the watch in an area normally exposed to bright light when storing it for long periods. This helps to keep the rechargeable battery from going dead. • If you leave the watch in the Home Position Adjustment Mode for two or three minutes without performing any operation, it returns to the Timekeeping Mode automatically. • If you do not perform any operation for about two or three minutes while a setting mode is selected, the watch will exit the setting mode automatically. Scrolling • The B button is used to change the hand setting in various setting modes. In most cases, holding down the B 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 any button to stop it. Radio-controlled Atomic Timekeeping Precautions • Strong electrostatic charge can result in the wrong time being set. • 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. • 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. 3 Operation Guide 4383 • 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. • 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. Timekeeping • 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 or when battery power drops to Level 3. • The date will change automatically when the current time reaches midnight. The date change at the end of the month may take more time than normal. • 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. Power Saving Power Saving enters a sleep state automatically whenever the watch is left for a certain period in an area where it is dark. The table below shows how watch functions are affected by Power Saving. • There are actually two sleep state levels: “second hand sleep” and “function sleep”. Elapsed Time in Dark Operation 60 to 70 minutes (second hand sleep) Second hand only is stopped, all other functions are enabled. 6 or 7 days (function sleep) • All functions, including analog timekeeping, disabled • Internal timekeeping maintained • Wearing the watch inside the sleeve of clothing can cause it to enter the sleep state. • The watch will not enter the sleep state between 6:00 AM and 10:59 PM. If the watch is already in the sleep state when 6:00 AM arrives, however, it will remain in the sleep state. To recover from the sleep state Perform any one of the following operations. • Move the watch to a well-lit area. • Press any button. 4
