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.

Warning!

•The measurement functions built into this watch are not intended for taking

measurements that require professional or industrial precision. Values produced

by this watch should be considered as reasonable representations only.

•The Moon phase indicator and tide graph data that appear on the display of this

watch are not intended for navigation purposes. Always use proper instruments

and resources to obtain data for navigation purposes.

•This watch is not an instrument for calculating low tide and high tide times. The

tide graph of this watch is intended to provide a reasonable approximation of

tidal movements only.

•Note that CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD. assumes no responsibility for any

damage or loss suffered by you or any third party arising through the use of this

product or its malfunction.

Keep the watch exposed to bright light

The electricity generated by the solar cell of the watch is

stored by a rechargeable 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. Charging is reduced significantly if

the face is covered only partially.

•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.

•The actual level at which some functions are disabled depends on the watch model.

•Frequent display illumination can run down the battery quickly and require charging.

The following guidelines give an idea of the charging time required to recover from a

single illumination operation.

Approximately 5 minutes exposure to bright sunlight coming in through a window

Approximately about 8 hours exposure to indoor fluorescent lighting

•Be sure to read “Power Supply” for important information you need to know

when exposing the watch to bright light.

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.

Power Supply

This watch is equipped with a solar cell and a rechargeable 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: 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. Charging

is reduced significantly if the face is

covered only partially.

Solar cell

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. Be sure that the watch is exposed to bright light whenever

possible.

•This watch uses a 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 rechargeable battery to charge fully, contact your dealer or

CASIO distributor about having it replaced.

•Never try to remove or replace the watch’s rechargeable battery yourself. Use of the

wrong type of battery can damage the watch.

•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 and

when you have the battery replaced.

•Turn on the watch’s Power Saving function 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.

current time, date, and other settings.

•The watch’s Home City code setting will change automatically to TYO (Tokyo)

whenever the battery drops to Level 5.

•

Display indicators reappear as soon as the battery is charged from Level 5 to Level 2.

•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.

•Performing illumination, or beeper operations during a

short period may cause (recover) to appear on the

display.

After some time, battery power will recover and

(recover) will disappear, indicating that the above

functions are enabled again.

•If (recover) appears frequently, it probably means that

remaining battery power is low. Leave the watch in bright

light to allow it to charge.

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.

Moon Phase Indicator

The Moon phase indicator of this watch indicates the

current phase of the Moon as shown below. It is based on

the view of the left side of the moon at meridian transit

from the northern hemisphere of the Earth. If the

appearance of the Moon phase indicator is reversed from

the actual Moon as viewed from your location, you can

use the procedure under “To reverse the displayed Moon

phase” to change the indicator.

Tidal Movements

Tides are the periodic rise and fall of the water of oceans, seas, bays, and other

bodies of water caused mainly by the gravitational interactions between the Earth,

Moon and Sun. Tides rise and fall about every six hours. The Tide Graph of this watch

indicates tidal movement based on the Moon’s transit over a meridian and the lunitidal

interval. The Tide Graph calculates and graphically represents current tide conditions

in your Home City or a port city in the vicinity of the Home City based on longitudes,

lunar day length, and lunitidal interval preset in watch memory, and on high tide times

specified by you.

Tide Graph

The Tide Graph graphically represents the current tide condition using one of three

patterns that represent spring tide, intermediate tide, and neap tide, as shown below.

Large difference between high tide

and low tide. Occurs a few days

before and after a New Moon and Full

Moon.

Medium difference between high tide

and low tide.

Small difference between high tide

and low tide. Occurs a few days

before and after the first quarter and

last quarter of a half moon.

Tide Name Graph Description

Spring Tide

Intermediate Tide

Neap Tide

•

The Tide Graph flashes as shown below to indicate the tide range.

•The segments on either end of the Tide Graph flash during high tide.

Lunitidal Interval

Theoretically, high tide is at the Moon’s transit over the meridian and low tide is about

six hours later. Actual high tide occurs somewhat later, due to factors such as

viscosity, friction, and underwater topography. Both the time differential between the

Moon’s transit over the meridian until high tide and the time differential between the

Moon’s transit over the meridian until low tide are known as the “lunitidal interval”.

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 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 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.

World Time

•The seconds count of the World Time is synchronized with the seconds count of the

Timekeeping Mode.
