Operation Guide 5121
MA1002-EA
Congratulations upon your selection of this CASIO watch.
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.
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.

Charging the Watch
The face of the watch is a solar cell that generates power from light. The generated
power charges a built-in rechargeable battery, which powers watch operations. The
watch charges whenever it is exposed to light.
Charging Guide
Whenever you are not
wearing the watch, leave
it in a location where it is
exposed to light.

performance is achieved
by exposing the watch to

Take care when handling the watch to avoid burn injury. The watch can become
particularly hot when exposed to the following conditions for long periods.

Power Levels
You can get an idea of the watch’s power level by
observing the movement of the
Second Hand in the
Timekeeping Mode.
•
Second Hand is moving normally at one-second
intervals, power is at Level 1.
•
Second Hand is moving at two-second intervals,
power is at Level 2, which is quite low. Expose the watch
to light as soon as possible so it can charge.

correct setting and regular timekeeping will resume. After one week, all settings
(including timekeeping) will be cleared. Recharging the battery will reset all settings
to their initial factory defaults.
Power Recovery Mode
The watch is designed to go into a power recovery mode that stops hand operation
temporarily whenever power suddenly drops below a certain level due to overuse
of the alarm tone over a short period. Note that all operations are disabled while the
watch is in the power recovery mode.
The hands will move to the correct positions and the watch will resume normal
operation after power recovers (in about 15 minutes). Putting the watch in a location
where it is exposed to light will help power to recover sooner.

Radio Controlled Atomic Timekeeping
This watch receives a time calibration signal and updates its time setting accordingly.
However, when using the watch outside of areas covered by time calibration signals,
you will have to adjust the settings manually as required. See “Confi
Time and Date Settings Manually” for more information.
This section explains how the watch updates its time settings when the city code
selected as the Home City is in Japan, North America, Europe, or China, and is one
that supports time calibration signal reception.
If your Home City code setting is this:
The watch can receive the signal from the
transmitter located here:
LON, PAR, ATH Anthorn (England), Mainfl
HKG Shangqiu City (China)
TYO Fukushima (Japan), Fukuoka/Saga (Japan)
HNL, ANC, LAX, DEN, CHI, NYC Fort Collins, Colorado (United States)
Important!
• HNL and ANC are quite far from the calibration signal
transmitters, so certain conditions may cause reception problems.
• HNL or HKG is selected as the Home City, only the time and date are
adjusted according to the time calibration signal. You need to switch manually
between standard time and daylight saving time (DST) if required. See “To toggle
the Home City time between standard time and daylight saving time” for information
about how to do this.
