You can aso perform manua receive or you can set the time manuay. If you are in an area that does not use Dayight Saving Time (summer time), turn off the DST setting. See Transmitters for detais about the transmitter mode. Time Caibration Signa Reception There are two different methods you can use to receive the time caibration signa: auto receive and manua receive. Auto Receive With auto receive, the watch automaticay picks up the time caibration signa 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. Manua Receive Manua receive ets you start a time caibration receive operation with the press of a button. For more information, see To perform manua receive. Important! Position the watch as shown in the nearby iustration, with its 12 o cock side facing towards a window. Make sure there are no meta objects nearby.

2 This watch is designed to receive the time caibration signa transmitted from Rugby, Engand and the signa from Mainfingen, Germany. Signa reception is possibe within the area represented by a circe with a radius of about 1,500 kiometers. At distances further than about 500 kiometers from a transmitter, signa reception may not be possibe during certain times of year or times of day. Radio interference may aso cause probems with reception. See the information under Signa Receive Troubeshooting if you experience probems with time caibration signa reception. About Auto Receive When auto receive is turned on, the watch automaticay starts to receive the time caibration signa 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 (caibration times). The watch wi aso perform an additiona auto receive operation at 5:00 a.m. if none of the reguary schedued auto receive operations are successfu. Note Auto receive is on whenever the transmitter mode setting is anything other than OFF. See Transmitters for more information. The auto receive operation is performed ony if the watch is in the Timekeeping Mode or Word Time Mode when one of the caibration times is reached. It is not performed if a caibration time is reached whie an aarm is sounding, or whie you are configuring settings (whie settings are fashing on the dispay). Auto receipt of the caibration signa is designed to be performed eary in the morning, whie you seep (provided that the Timekeeping Mode time is set correcty). Before going to bed for the night, remove the watch from your wrist, and put it in a ocation where it can easiy receive the signa. When auto receive is turned on, the watch receives the caibration signa for two to five minutes everyday when the time in the Timekeeping Mode reaches each of the caibration times. Do not perform any button operation within five minutes before or after any one of the caibration times. Doing so can interfere with correct caibration. Remember that reception of the caibration signa depends on the time kept in the digita dispay. The receive operation wi be performed whenever the dispay shows any one of the caibration times, regardess of whether or not the dispayed time is actuay the correct time. When two, three, four, or five receptions are successfu, the watch uses the data of the ast reception for caibration. When ony one reception is successfu, the watch uses the data of the successfu reception. About the Receiving Indicator The receiving shows the strength of the caibration signa being received. For best reception, be sure to keep the watch in a ocation where signa strength is strongest. Receiving (Leve 1) Weak Strong (Leve 4) Even in an area where signa strength is strong, it takes about 10 seconds for signa reception to stabiize enough for the receiving to indicate signa strength. Use the receiving as a guide for checking signa strength and for finding the best ocation for the watch during signa receive operations. The Leve 4 receiving remains on the dispay in a modes foowing reception of the time caibration signa and caibration of the watch s time setting. The Leve 4 receiving is not dispayed if signa reception was unsuccessfu or after manua adjustment of the current time setting. The Leve 4 receiving is dispayed ony when the watch is abe to successfuy receive both time and date data. It does not appear when ony time data is received. The Leve 4 receiving indicates that at east one of the caibration signa receive operations was successfu. Note, however, that the Leve 4 receiving is ceared from the dispay at 3:00 a.m. each day. To perform manua receive 1. Pace the watch on a stabe surface so its top (12 o cock side) is facing towards a window. Note that signa reception is poor when the 12 o cock side of the watch is not facing towards a window. 2. In the Timekeeping Mode (Current Time screen), hod down D for about two seconds unti the watch beeps. 3. Reease D and the message RC! appears to indicate that signa reception has started. Receiving Time caibration signa reception takes from two to five minutes. Take care that you do not perform any button operations or move the watch during this time. After signa reception is compete, the dispay of the watch changes to the Last Signa Note To interrupt a receive operation and return to the Timekeeping Mode, press D. If the receive operation is unsuccessfu, the message ERR appears on the dispay for about one or two minutes. After that, the watch returns to the Timekeeping Mode. You can aso change from the Last Signa or ERR screen to the norma timekeeping screen by pressing D. Signa Receive Troubeshooting Check the foowing points whenever you experience probems with caibration signa reception. Probem Cannot perform manua receive. Auto receive is turned on, but the Leve 4 receiving does not appear on the dispay. Probabe Cause The watch is not in the Timekeeping Mode. Your current Home City is not one of the foowing city codes: LON, PAR, or BER. The transmitter mode is incorrect. The transmitter mode is incorrect. You changed the time setting manuay.

Battery This watch is equipped with a soar ce and a rechargeabe battery (secondary battery) that is charged by the eectrica power produced by the soar ce. The iustration shown beow shows how you shoud position the watch for charging. Exampe: Orient the watch so its face is pointing at a ight source. Soar ce The iustration shows how to position a watch with a resin band. Note that charging efficiency drops when any part of the soar ce is bocked by cothing, etc. Normay, you shoud try to keep the watch outside of your seeve as much as possibe. Charging is significanty reduced if the face is ony partiay covered. Important! Storing the watch for ong periods in an area where there is no ight or wearing it in such a way that it is bocked from exposure to ight can cause rechargeabe battery power to run down. Be sure that the watch is normay exposed to bright ight whenever possibe. This watch empoys a soar ce that converts ight into eectricity, which charges a buit-in rechargeabe battery. Normay, the rechargeabe battery shoud not need repacement, but after very ong use over a number of years, the rechargeabe battery may ose its abiity to achieve a fu charge. If you experience probems getting the rechargeabe battery to a fu charge, contact your deaer or CASIO distributor about having the rechargeabe battery repaced. The rechargeabe battery shoud be repaced with a CASIO-specified CTL1616 battery ony. Other rechargeabe batteries can cause damage to the watch. A data stored in memory is deeted, and the current time and a other settings return to their initia factory defauts whenever battery power drops to Leve 4 and when you have the battery repaced. Turn on the watch s Power Saving function and keep it in an area normay exposed to bright ight when storing it for ong periods. This heps to keep the rechargeabe battery from going dead. Recover 3 4 (Charge Soon Aert) Beeper tone, backight, caibration signa reception, dispay, and buttons are disabed. A functions, incuding timekeeping, are disabed. The fashing CHARGE at Leve 3 tes you that battery power is very ow, and that exposure to bright ight for charging is required as soon as possibe. At Leve 4, a functions are disabed and settings return to their initia factory defauts. Functions are enabed once again after the rechargeabe battery is charged, but you need to set the time and date after the battery reaches Leve 3 from Leve 4. You wi not be abe to configure any of the other settings unti the battery reaches Leve 2 after dropping to Leve 4. Dispay s reappear as soon as the battery is charged from Leve 4 to Leve 3. Leaving the watch in direct sunight or some other very strong ight source can cause the battery power to temporariy show a reading that is higher than the actua battery eve. The correct battery power shoud appear after a few minutes. If you use the backight or the aarms a number of times during a short period, the recover (RECOVER ) appears on the dispay and the foowing operations become disabed unti battery power recovers. Backight Beeper tone Caibration reception After some time, battery power wi recover and the recover (RECOVER ) wi disappear, indicating that the above functions are enabed again. If the recover appears frequenty, it probaby means that remaining battery power is ow. Leave the watch in bright ight to aow it to charge. Charging Precautions Certain charging conditions can cause the watch to become very hot. Avoid eaving the watch in the areas described beow whenever charging its rechargeabe battery. Aso note that aowing the watch to become very hot can cause its iquid crysta dispay to back out. The appearance of the LCD shoud become norma again when the watch returns to a ower temperature. Warning! Leaving the watch in bright ight to charge its rechargeabe battery can cause it to become quite hot. Take care when handing the watch to avoid burn injury. The watch can become particuary hot when exposed to the foowing conditions for ong periods.

5 Reference This section contains more detaied and technica information about watch operation. It aso contains important precautions and notes about the various features and functions of this watch. Auto Return Features If you eave the watch in the Time Recorder Mode or Aarm Mode for two or three minutes without performing any operation, it automaticay changes to the Timekeeping Mode. If you eave a screen with fashing digits on the dispay for two or three minutes without performing any operation, the watch automaticay exits the setting Scroing The B and D buttons are used in various modes and setting screens to scro through data on the dispay. In most cases, hoding down these buttons during a scro operation scros through the data at high speed. Initia Screens When you enter the Word Time or Aarm Mode, the data you were viewing when you ast exited the mode appears first. Radio-controed Timekeeping Precautions Strong eectrostatic charge can resut in the wrong time being set. Even when the watch is within the reception range of the transmitter, signa reception is impossibe if the signa is bocked by mountains or other geoogica formations between the watch and signa source. Signa reception is affected by weather, atmospheric conditions, and seasona changes. The time caibration signa is bounced off the ionosphere. Because of this, such factors as changes in the refectivity of the ionosphere, as we as movement of the ionosphere to higher atitudes due to seasona atmospheric changes or the time of day may change the reception range of the signa and make reception temporariy impossibe. Even if the time caibration signa is received propery, certain conditions can cause the time setting to be off by up to one second. The current time setting in accordance with the time caibration signa takes priority over any time settings you make. The watch is designed to automaticay update the date and day of the week for the period January 1, 2000 to December 31, Setting of the date by the time caibration signa cannot be performed starting from January 1, This watch can receive signas that differentiate between eap years and non-eap years.
