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.
Be sure to keep all user documentation handy for future reference.
This watch does not have a city code that corresponds to the UTC offset of
–3.5 hours. Because of this, the radio-controlled atomic timekeeping function
will not display the correct time for Newfoundland, Canada.
E E-1
Keep the watch exposed to bright light
The electricity generated by the solar panel 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 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.
Battery charges in the light. Battery discharges in the dark.

The actual level at which some functions are disabled depends on the watch model.
Be sure to read “Power Supply” (page E-53) for important information you
need to know when exposing the watch to bright light.
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” (page E-62) for more information.
The hands also stop when the watch’s battery runs down.
