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.
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.
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.
• 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 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.

Read This Before You Set the Time and Date!
This watch is preset with a number of city codes, each of which represents
the time zone where that city is located. When setting the time, it is important
that you first select the correct city code for your Home City (the city where
you normally use the watch). If your location is not included in the preset city
codes, select the preset city code that is in the same time zone as your
location.

in accordance with the time and date settings you configure in the
Timekeeping Mode.
