Getting Acquainted
Congratulations upon your selection of this CASIO watch. To get the most out
of your purchase, be sure to carefully read this manual and keep it on hand
for later reference when necessary.
Expose the watch to bright light to charge its battery before using it.
You can use this watch even as its battery is being charged by exposure to
bright light.
Be sure to read “Battery” of this manual for important information
you need to know when exposing the watch to bright light.
Applications
The built-in sensors of this watch measure direction, altitude, barometric
pressure, and temperature. Measured values are then shown on the display.
Such features make this watch useful when hiking, mountain climbing, or
when engaging in other such outdoor activities.
Warning!
The measurement functions built into this watch are not intended for
taking measurements that require professional or industrial precision.
Values produced by this watch should be considered as reasonable
representations only.
When engaging in mountain climbing or other activities in which losing
your way can create a dangerous or life-threatening situation, always be
sure to use a second compass to confirm direction readings.
CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD. assumes no responsibility for any loss,
or any claims by third parties that may arise through the use of this
watch.
If the display of the watch is blank...
If the SLEEP indicator is on the display (either
flashing or steady), it means that the display is
blank because the watch's Power Saving function
has shut it to conserve power. Power Saving
automatically turns off the display and puts the
watch into a sleep state whenever your watch is
left in an area where it is dark for a certain
period.
The initial factory default setting is Power Saving on.
The watch recovers from the sleep state if you move it to a well-lit area
*
, if
you press any button, or if you angle the watch towards your face for
reading.
*
It can take up to five seconds for the display to turn on.
See “Power Saving Function” for more information.

Compass Mode.
You can calibrate the bearing sensor if you suspect the direction reading is
incorrect.
To enter and exit the Digital Compass Mode
1. While in the Timekeeping, Barometer/Thermometer, or Altimeter Mode,
press B to enter the Digital Compass Mode.
At this time, the watch immediately starts a Digital Compass operation.
After about two seconds, letters appear on the display to indicate the
direction that the 12 o’clock position of the watch is pointing.
2. Press D to return to the Timekeeping Mode.
To take a direction reading
1. Enter the Digital Compass Mode.
2. Place the watch on a flat surface or (if you are
wearing the watch), make sure that your wrist
is horizontal (in relation to the horizon).
3. Point the 12 o’clock position of the watch in
the direction you want to measure.
4. Press B to start a Digital Compass
measurement operation.
After about two seconds, the direction that the
12 o’clock position of the watch is pointing
appears on the display.
Also, four pointers appear to indicate magnetic
north, south, east, and west.
After the first reading is obtained, the watch
continues to take direction readings
automatically each second, for up to 20
