Daylight Saving Time (DST)

Daylight Saving Time (summer time) advances the time setting by one hour
from Standard Time. Remember that not all countries or even local areas use
Daylight Saving Time.
The time calibration signals transmitted from Mainflingen (Germany), Anthorn
(England), or Fort Collins (the United States) include both Standard Time and
DST data. When the Auto DST setting is turned on, the watch switches
between Standard Time and DST (summer time) automatically in accordance
with the signals.

• Though the time calibration signal transmitted by the Fukushima and

Fukuoka/Saga, Japan transmitters include summer time data, summer time
currently is not implemented in Japan (as of 2007).

• The default DST setting is Auto DST (

AvtA

) whenever you select

LON

,

PAR

,

BER

,

ATH

,

HKG

,

TPE

,

TYO

,

LAX

,

DEN

,

, or

as your Home City code.

• If you experience problems receiving the time calibration signal in your

area, it probably is best to switch between Standard Time and Daylight
Saving Time (summer time) manually.

To change the Daylight Saving Time (summer time) setting

1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down A until

the city code starts to flash, which indicates
the setting screen.

2. Press D and the DST setting screen appears.
3. Use E to cycle through the DST settings in

the sequence shown below.

Auto DST (

• If you change your Home City to one that is within the same transmitter

area, the current DST setting will be retained. If you change to a city that is
outside your current transmitter area, DST will be turned off automatically.

Reference

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.

Auto Return Features

• The watch returns to the Timekeeping Mode automatically if you do not

perform any button operation for two or three minutes in the Data Recall,
Alarm, Receive, or Barometer/Thermometer Mode.

• If you do not perform any button operation for 21 or 22 hours while in the

Altimeter Mode, the watch will return to the Timekeeping Mode
automatically.

• If you leave a screen with flashing digits on the display for two or three

minutes without performing any operation, the watch exits the setting
screen automatically.

Initial Screens

When you enter the World Time or Alarm Mode, the data you were viewing
when you last exited the mode appears first.

Scrolling

The E and B buttons are used on the setting screen 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.

Sensor Malfunction Indicator

Subjecting the watch to strong impact can cause sensor malfunction or
improper contact of internal circuitry. When this happens,

ERR

(error) will

appear on the display and sensor operations will be disabled.

Barometric Pressure

Measurement

Altitude

Measurement

• If

ERR

appears while a measurement operation is being performed in a

sensor mode, restart the measurement. If

ERR

appears on the display

again, it can mean there is something wrong with the sensor.

• Even if battery power is at Level 1 or Level 2, the Barometer/Thermometer

Mode or Altimeter Mode sensor may be disabled if there is not enough
voltage available to power it sufficiently. In this case,

ERR

will appear on

the display. This does not indicate malfunction, and sensor operation should
resume once battery voltage returns to its normal level.

• If

ERR

keeps appearing during measurement, it could mean there is a

problem with the applicable sensor.

Whenever you have a sensor malfunction, be sure to take the watch to
your original dealer or nearest authorized CASIO distributor as soon as
possible.

Button Operation Tone

The button operation tone sounds any time you
press one of the watch’s buttons. You can turn the
button operation tone on or off as desired.

• Even if you turn off the button operation tone,

the alarm, Hourly Time Signal, and Countdown
Timer Mode alarm all operate normally.

To turn the button operation tone on and off

In any mode (except when a setting screen is on
the display), hold down D to toggle the button
operation tone on (MUTE not displayed) and off
(MUTE displayed).

• Since the D button is also the mode change button, holding it down to turn

the button operation on or off also causes the watch’s current mode to
change.

• The MUTE indicator is displayed in all modes when the button operation

tone is turned off.

Mute indicator

Power Saving

When turned on, Power Saving enters a sleep
state automatically whenever the watch is left for
a certain period in an area where it is dark. The
table below shows how watch functions are
affected by Power Saving.

• There actually are two sleep state levels:

“display sleep” and “function sleep”.
