A trained technician will inspect your watch for proper water resistance whenever
you have its battery replaced. Battery replacement requires the use of special tools.
Always request battery replacement from your original retailer or from an authorized
CASIO service center.
Some water-resistant watches come with fashionable leather bands. Avoid
swimming, washing, or any other activity that causes direct exposure of a leather
band to water.
The inside surface of the watch glass may fog when the watch is exposed to a
sudden drop in temperature. No problem is indicated if the fogging clears up
relatively quickly. Sudden and extreme temperature changes (such as coming into
an air conditioned room in the summer and standing close to an air conditioner
outlet, or leaving a heated room in the winter and allowing your watch to come into
contact with snow) can cause it to take longer for glass fogging to clear up. If glass
fogging does not clear up or if you notice moisture inside of the glass, immediately
stop using your watch and take it to your original retailer or to an authorized CASIO
service center.
Your water-resistant watch has been tested in accordance with International
Organization for Standardization regulations.
E-78
Watches that do not have WATER RESIST or WATER RESISTANT marked on the
back cover are not protected against the effects of sweat. Avoid using such a watch
under conditions where it will be exposed to large amounts of sweat or moisture, or
to direct splashing with water.
Even if a watch is water resistant, note the usage precautions described below.
Such types of use reduce water resistance performance and can cause fogging of
the glass.
Do not operate the crown or buttons while your watch is submersed in water or
wet.
Avoid wearing your watch while in the bath.
Do not wear your watch while in a heated swimming pool, sauna, or any other high
temperature/high humidity environment.
Do not wear your watch while washing your hands or face, while doing housework,
or while performing any other task that involves soaps or detergents.
After submersion in seawater, use plain water to rinse all salt and dirt from your
watch.
To maintain water resistance, have the gaskets of your watch replaced periodically
(about once every two or three years).

Illumination may not turn on if the face of the watch is
more than 15 degrees above or below parallel. Make
sure that the back of your hand is parallel to the ground.
Illumination turns off after a preset amount of time (1.5
or 3 seconds), even if you keep the watch pointed
towards your face.
Static electricity or magnetic force can interfere with proper operation of the auto
light switch. If illumination does not turn on, try moving the watch back to the starting
position (parallel with the ground) and then tilt it back toward you again. If this does
not work, drop your arm all the way down so it hangs at your side, and then bring it
back up again.
Under certain conditions, illumination may not turn on until about one second after
you turn the face of the watch towards you. This does not necessarily indicate
malfunction of the auto light switch.
You may notice a very faint clicking sound coming from the watch when it is shaken
back and forth. This sound is caused by mechanical operation of the auto light
switch, and does not indicate a problem with the watch.

World Time
The seconds count of the World Time is synchronized with the seconds count of the
Timekeeping Mode.
Illumination Precautions
The electro-luminescent panel that provides illumination loses power after very long
use.
Illumination may be difficult to see when viewed under direct sunlight.
The watch may emit an audible sound whenever the display is illuminated. This is
due to vibration of the EL panel used for illumination, and does not indicate
malfunction.
Illumination turns off automatically whenever an alarm sounds.
Frequent use of illumination runs down the battery.
Auto light switch precautions
Avoid wearing the watch on the inside of your wrist. Doing so causes the auto light
switch to operate when it is not needed, which shortens battery life. If you want to
wear the watch on the inside of your wrist, turn off the auto light switch feature.

Initial Screens
x
When you enter the World Time Mode or Alarm Mode, the data you were viewing
when you last exited the mode appears fi rst.
Timekeeping
x
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.
x
The year can be set in the range of 2000 to 2099.
x
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.
x
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.
E-70
x
When a China time zone is selected, the watch receives the time calibration signals
transmitted from China (Shangqiu City).
x
When your Home City is
LIS
,
LON
,
MAD
,
PAR
,
ROM
,
BER
,
STO
,
ATH
,
MOW
(which can receive both the Anthorn and Mainfl ingen signals), the watch fi rst tries to
pick up the signal it last successfully received. If that fails, it tries the other signal. For
the fi rst receive after you select your Home City, the watch tries the nearest signal
rst (Anthorn for
LIS
,
LON
, Mainfl ingen for
MAD
,
PAR
,
ROM
,
BER
,
STO
,
ATH
, and
MOW
).
Auto Return
x
If you do not perform any operation for about two or three minutes while a setting
screen (with a fl ashing setting) is on the display, the watch will exit the setting screen
automatically.
Scrolling
x
The
%

are used in various modes and setting screens to scroll through data
on the display. In most cases, holding down these buttons during a scroll operation
scrolls at high speed.
