Q3Time is not displayed correctly.
The phone’s time setting may be incorrect because it is unable to connect with its network due to being out of range, etc. If this happens, connect the phone to its network and then adjust the time setting.
Pedometer
Q1Displayed step count is not correct.
While the watch is on your wrist, the pedometer may detect non-step movements and count them as steps.
Also, step count problems can also be caused by how the watch is being worn and abnormal arm movement while walking.
Q2The step count does not increase.
To avoid miscounting of non-walking movements, the step count is not displayed at the beginning of a walk.
It appears only after you have continued walking for about 10 seconds, with the number of steps you took during the first 10 seconds included in to the total.
Q3[ERROR] appears when using the pedometer.
[ERROR] (error) is displayed when sensor operation is disabled because of sensor or internal circuitry malfunction.
If the indicator remains on the display for more than three minutes or if it frequently appears, it could indicate a faulty sensor.
Contact a CASIO service center or your original retailer.
Tide Level
Q1High tide and low tide information is not shown when I display the tide screen.
To check high tide and low tide information, use G-SHOCK MOVE or watch operations to specify a port.
Q2There are differences between the watch’s tide information and actual tide information.
Since the high tide and low tide times and tide levels of the Tide Graph are calculated based on past data, the calculated data may be different from actual tide information.
Also note that the degree of the error can be affected by terrain, weather, and other conditions. Use the tide information of this watch for reference only.
Be sure to check accurate tide forecast information issued by various organizations, and do not use the tide information of this watch to determine tide levels used for navigation or any other purpose where there is the risk of danger.
