INSTALLTION INSTRUCTION

Getting Acquainted
Congratulations upon your selection of this CASIO watch. To get the most out of your purchase, be sure to carefully read this manual and keep it on hand for later reference when necessary.

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

General Guide

• Press C to change from mode to mode.
• In any mode, press B to illuminate the face of the watch

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.

To set your Home City

1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down A until the city code starts to flash, which indicates the setting screen.

2. Use D (east) and B (west) to scroll through the city codes until the one you want to use as your Home City is displayed.
   The following are the city codes for major cities in North America.
   YVR: Vancouver
   LAX: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Seattle/Tacoma, Tijuana
   YEA: Edmonton
   DEN: Denver, El Paso, Culiacan
   MEX: Mexico City
   YWG: Winnipeg
   CHI: Chicago, Houston, Dallas/Fort Worth, New Orleans
   MIA: Miami
   YTO: Toronto
   NYC: New York, Detroit, Boston, Montreal
   YHZ: Halifax

   • Note that this watch does not have a city code that corresponds to Newfoundland.

3. Press A to exit the setting screen.

   • 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 (in the middle of the night). You can also perform manual receive or you can set the time manually.
   • If you are in an area that does not use Daylight Saving Time (summer time), turn off the DST setting.

About This Manual

• Button operations are indicated using the letters shown in the illustration.

• Most of the display examples in this manual show only the digital display, without the analog hands.

• 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.

• To display the digital time and last signal screen

• In the Timekeeping Mode, press A to cycle through the digital time screens as shown below.

• In the Timekeeping Mode, press D to display the last signal screen. The last signal screen shows the time and date of the last successful time calibration signal reception.

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 automatically picks up the time calibration signal five times a day at 0:00 a.m., 1:00 a.m., 2:00 a.m., 3:00 a.m., and 4:00 a.m. For more information, see “About Auto Receive”.

• Manual Receive
  Manual receive lets you start a time calibration signal reception 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 12 o’clock side facing towards a window.Make sure there are no metal objects nearby.

• The watch should not be on its side or facing the wrong way. Resin Band Metal Band

• Proper signal reception can be difficult or even impossible under the conditions listed below.

• Signal reception is normally better at night than during the day.

• Time calibration signal reception takes from two 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.

• Under good reception conditions, signal reception is possible within a radius of about 2,000 miles (3,000 kilometers) from the Fort Collins transmitter.

• 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.

• See the information under “Signal Reception Troubleshooting” if you experience problems with time calibration signal reception.

About Auto Receive
When auto receive is turned on, the watch automatically starts to receive the time calibration signal when the time in the Timekeeping Mode reaches 0:00 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 will also 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.

Note

• Auto receive is performed only if the watch is in the Timekeeping Mode or World Time Mode when one of the calibration times is reached. It is not performed if a calibration time is reached while an alarm is sounding, or while you are configuring settings (while settings are flashing on the display).
• Auto receipt 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 easily receive the signal.
• When auto receive is turned on, the watch receives the calibration signal for two to seven minutes everyday when the time in the Timekeeping Mode reaches each ofthe five calibration times. Do not perform any button operation within seven minutes before or after any of the five calibration times. Doing so can interfere with correct calibration.
• Remember that reception of the calibration signal depends on the time kept in thedigital display. Reception will be performed whenever the display shows one of the five calibration times, regardless of whether or not the displayed time is actually 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.

• 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 reception. Receiving indicator Weak Strong (Level 0) (Level 3)

• The Level 3 receiving indicator remains on the display in all modes following reception of the time calibration signal and calibration of the watch’s time setting. The Level 3 receiving indicator is not displayed if signal reception was unsuccessful or after manual adjustment of the current time setting.

• The Level 3 receiving indicator indicates that at least one of the five calibration signal receive operations was successful. Note, however, that the Level 3 receiving indicator is cleared from the display at 0:00 a.m. each day.

• To perform manual receive
  

  1. Place the watch on a stable surface so its top (12 o’clock side) is facing towards a window.
  2. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down D for about two seconds until the watch beeps.
  3.  After you release D the display will show the current time and the letters RC!. This indicates that signal reception is in progress.

• Time calibration signal reception normally takes from two to seven minutes. Take care that you do not perform any button operations or move the watch during this time.

• After signal reception is complete, the display of the watch changes to the last signal screen.

Note

1.  To interrupt a reception and return to the Timekeeping Mode, press D.
2. If reception is unsuccessful, the message ERR appears on the display for one or two minutes. After that, the watch returns to the Timekeeping Mode.
3. You can also change from the last signal or ERR screen to the normal timekeeping screen by pressing D.
4. Calibration signal reception is disabled while a countdown timer operation is in progress.

To turn auto receive on and off

1.  In the Timekeeping Mode, press D to display the last signal screen.
   • The watch will automatically return to the Timekeeping Mode if you do not perform any button operation for one or two minutes after displaying the last signal screen.
2. Hold down A until the current auto receive setting flashes on the display. This is the setting screen.
   • If the auto receive setting does not appear when you hold down A, it means that the city code currently selected for the Home City is for an area that does not support calibration signal reception. You cannot turn auto receive on or off in this case.
3. Use D to turn auto receive on (ON) or off (OFF).
4. Press A to exit the setting screen.
   • To return to the Timekeeping Mode from the last signal screen, press D.
   • For information about city codes that support signal reception, see “To set your Home City”.

Radio-controlled Atomic Timekeeping Precautions

• 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.
• The watch is designed to automatically update the date and day of the week 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.
• 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 ±15 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 current city code, DST (summer time), and auto receive settings. The following are the initial factory defaults for these settings
