light switch setting.  
Never try to read your watch when riding on a bicycle or when  
operating a motorcycle or any other motor vehicle. Doing so is  
dangerous and can result in a traffic accident and serious personal  
injury.  
When you are wearing the watch, make sure that its auto light switch  
is turned off before riding on a bicycle or operating a motorcycle or  
any other motor vehicle. Sudden and unintended operation of the auto  
light switch can create a distraction, which can result in a traffic  
accident and serious personal injury.  
About the Auto Light Switch  
Turning on the auto light switch causes the backlight to turn on for about two  
seconds, whenever you position your wrist as described below in any mode.

The backlight turns off in about two seconds, even if you keep the watch  
pointed towards your face.  
The backlight may not light if the face of the watch is more than 15 degrees  
off the parallel as shown below. Make sure that the back of your hand is  
parallel to the ground.  
When the end of the countdown is reached and auto-repeat is turned on,  
the alarm sounds, but the countdown starts again automatically whenever  
the countdown reaches zero. You can stop timing by pressing C, and  
manually reset to the starting countdown time by pressing A.  
Normally, an alarm tone sounds for 10 seconds when the end of the  
countdown is reached. If you use auto-repeat with start time of 10 seconds  
or less, the alarm tone sounds for only one second.

REFERENCE  
Static electricity or magnetic force can interfere with proper operation of the  
auto light switch. If the backlight does not light, 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 the backlight may not light until about one second  
or less after turn the face of the watch towards you. This does not  
necessarily indicate malfunction of the backlight.  
This section contains more detailed and technical information about watch  
operation. It also contains important precautions and notes about the various  
features and functions of this watch.  
Warning Indicators  
Warning indicators appear whenever any of the conditions described below  
occur. Appearance of a warning indicator causes any measurement opera-  
tion that is currently underway to stop. Warning indicators appear in the  
upper display, and this causes --- to replace any direction or temperature  
values on the display.  
There may be cause where the ERR or BAT message is cleared once  
you change modes. In this case, you can continue using the watch normally  
unless the error warning message reappears.  
World Time Mode  
The seconds count of the World Time is synchronized with the seconds  
sound of the Timekeeping Mode.  
GMT differential is calculated by this watch based on Universal Time  
Coordinated (UTC) data.  
Average monthly temperature values displayed by this watch are based on  
the “WORLD CLIMATE TABLE” published by the Japanese government’s  
Meteorological Agency.  
Whenever there is a sensor malfunction, be sure to take the watch to an  
authorized CASIO distributor or service center as soon as possible.  
Abnormal Magnetic Field Indicator  
This indicator appears whenever the watch has a problem  
Temperature and Direction Reading Precautions  
obtaining a correct direction reading. This condition could  
indicate that the watch is within a very high magnetic field,  
and so you should try moving to another location. Also, see  
“Digital Compass Precautions” for further information on  
conditions that cause errors.  
The direction and temperature reading operation is automatically  
interrupted whenever an alarm or Hourly Time Signal sounds. If this  
happens, start the reading operation again from the beginning.  
Taking a direction reading while the watch is not horizontal (in relation to the  
horizon) can result in large error.  
If the Navigation Mode memory area you select to store a reading already  
contains data, the data of the new reading replaces the existing data.  
Low Battery Indicator  
This message indicates that batteries power is too low to  
perform the measurement. It appears whenever batteries  
power drops below a certain level, or when you try to use  
Digital Compass Precautions  
this watch under very cold conditions (below about –10°C).  
This watch features a built-in magnetic bearing sensor that detects terrestrial  
magnetism. This means that north indicated by this watch is magnetic north,  
which is somewhat different from true polar north. The magnetic north pole is  
located in northern Canada, while the magnetic south pole is in southern  
Australia. Note that the difference between magnetic north and true north as  
measured with all magnetic compasses tends to be greater as one gets  
closer to either of the magnetic poles. You should also remember that some  
maps indicate true north (instead of magnetic north), and so you should make  
allowances when using such maps with this watch.  
If the BAT message appears because of use under cold conditions, it  
should clear (and normal operation should return) after the watch is brought  
back to normal temperature.  
If batteries power is low (indicated BAT appears under normal tempera-  
tures), you should have the batteries replaced as soon as possible. Note that  
replacement of the batteries causes all memory contents to be cleared.  
Sensor Malfunction Indicator  
This message indicates malfunction of sensor circuitry.  
Whenever a sensor malfunction initially occurs, the ERR  
messages flashes on the display. Note that calibrating the  
Digital Compass may cause the ERR message to appear.  
In this case, the message does not indicate sensor malfunc-  
tion, and should be corrected if you re-calibrate the Digital  
Compass.  
Direction Values  
The direction values displayed by this watch  
represent the clockwise angle formed between  
magnetic north (which is 0 degrees) and the  
direction that the 12 o’clock position of the  
watch is pointing.

Auto Return Operations  
Location  
Taking a direction reading when you are near a source of strong magnetism  
can cause large errors in readings. Because of this, you should avoid taking  
direction readings while in the vicinity of the following types of objects:  
permanent magnets (magnetic necklaces, etc.), concentrations of metal  
(metal doors, lockers, etc.), high tension wires, aerial wires, household  
appliances (TVs, personal computers, washing machines, freezers, etc.).  
Accurate direction readings are impossible while in a train, boat, airplane,  
etc.  
After you perform an operation in any mode, pressing D returns to the  
Timekeeping Mode.  
If you leave a screen with flashing digits on the display for two or three  
minutes without performing any operation, the watch automatically saves  
anything you have input up to that point and exits the setting screen.  
Data and Setting Scrolling  
The B and C buttons are used in various modes and screens to scroll  
through data on the display. In most cases, holding down these buttons  
during a scroll operation scrolls through the data at high speed.  
Accurate readings are also impossible indoors, especially inside ferro-  
concrete structures. This is because the metal framework of such structures  
picks up magnetism from appliances, etc.  
Storage  
The precision of the bearing sensor may deteriorate if the watch becomes  
12-hour/24-hour Timekeeping Formats  
The 12-hour/24-hour timekeeping format you select in the Timekeeping  
Mode is also applied in the Navigation, World Time, and Alarm Modes.  
magnetized. Because of this, you should be sure to store the watch away  
from magnets or any other sources of strong magnetism, including:  
permanent magnets (magnetic necklaces, etc.) and household appliances  
(TVs, personal computers, washing machines, freezers, etc.)  
Whenever you suspect that the watch may have become magnetized,  
perform one of the calibration procedures under “Calibrating the Bearing  
Sensor” below.  
Backlight Precautions  
The electro-luminescent panel loses illuminating power after very long use.  
The illumination provided by the backlight may be hard to see when viewed  
under direct sunlight.  
The watch will emit an audible sound whenever the display is illuminated.  
This is caused by a transformer that vibrates when the EL panel lights up. It  
does not indicate malfunction of the watch.  
The backlight automatically turns off whenever an alarm sounds.

Question: What causes different direction readings to produce differ-  
Calibrating the Bearing Sensor  
Whenever you suspect that direction readings produced by the watch are  
wrong, you should calibrate it. You can use either one of two calibration  
procedures: bidirectional calibration or northerly calibration.  
Use bidirectional calibration when you want to take readings within an area  
exposed to magnetic force. This type of calibration should be used if the  
watch become magnetized for any reason.  
ent results at the same location?  
Answer: Magnetism generated by nearby high-tension wires are interfer-  
ing with detection of terrestrial magnetism. Move away from the  
high-tension wires and try again.  
Question: What does it mean when --- appears in place of a direction  
value?  
With northerly calibration, you “teach” the watch which way is north (which  
you have to determine with another compass or some other means). You  
could use this calibration procedure, for example, to set the watch to indicate  
true north instead of magnetic north.  
Answer: This is the abnormal magnetic field indicator. It means that strong  
magnetism is being generated nearby. Move away from the source  
of strong magnetism and try again.  
Question: Why am I having problems taking direction readings indoors?  
Answer: A TV, personal computer, speakers, or some other object is  
interfering with terrestrial magnetism readings. Move away from  
the object causing the interference or take the direction reading  
outdoors. Indoor taking direction readings are particularly difficult  
inside ferro-concrete structures. Remember that you will not be  
able to take direction readings inside of trains, airplanes, etc.  
Important!  
If you want to perform both bidirectional and northerly calibration, be sure to  
perform bidirectional calibration first, and then perform northerly calibration.  
This is necessary because bidirectional calibration cancels any previously  
set northerly calibration setting.  
The more correctly you perform bidirectional calibration, the better the  
accuracy of the bearing sensor readouts. You should perform bidirectional  
calibration whenever you change environments where you use the bearing  
sensor, and whenever you feel that the bearing sensor is producing  
incorrect readings.

The appearance of ERR during bidirectional calibration can also be  
caused by local interference. If you suspect that this is the case, move to  
another location and try the procedure again.  
You should perform bidirectional calibration in an environment that is the  
same as that where you plan to be taking direction readings. If you plan to  
use it in an open field, for example, calibrate in an open field.

Questions & Answers About Direction Readings  
Question: What causes incorrect direction readings?  
Answer:  
Incorrect bidirectional calibration. Perform bidirectional calibration.  
Remember that bidirectional calibration is required whenever batteries are  
replaced.  
Nearby source of strong magnetism, such as a household appliance, a  
large steel bridge, a steel beam, overhead wires, etc., or an attempt to  
perform direction measurement on a train, boat, etc. Move away from large  
metal objects and try again. Note that digital compass operation cannot be  
performed inside a train, boat, etc.
