Troubleshooting
Signal Reception (Time Calibration Signal)
Q1The watch cannot perform a receive operation.
Is the watch’s battery charged?
Signal reception is not possible while battery power is low. Keep the watch exposed to light until it recharges sufficiently.
Is the watch in the Timekeeping Mode?
Time signal receive is performed only while the watch is in the Timekeeping Mode. Return to the Timekeeping Mode.
Is your Home City setting correct for your location?
The watch will not indicate the correct time if the Home City setting is wrong. Change your Home City setting so it correctly reflects your location.
After checking the above, the watch still cannot perform a receive operation.
Time calibration signal reception is not possible under the conditions described below.
When watch is at Level 2 power saving
When the crown is pulled out
Timer countdown operation in progress
If successful reception is not possible for some reason, you can adjust the time and day settings manually.
Q2The signal receive operation always fails.
Is the watch in a location that is appropriate for signal reception?
Check your surroundings and move the watch to a location where signal reception is better.
Did you avoid touching the watch while the receive operation was in progress?
Minimize movement of the watch and do not perform any watch operation while a receive operation is in progress.
Is there an alarm configured to sound during the same period that the signal receive operation is performed?
Receive stops if an alarm operation starts while it is being performed. Disable the alarm.
Is the signal transmitter in your area transmitting a signal?
The transmitter of the time calibration may not be transmitting a signal.
Try again later.
Q3Signal reception should have been successful, but the watch’s time and/or day is wrong.
Is the indicated time off by one hour or by 30 minutes?
The watch may be using the wrong time offset. Specify the area you want to use as your Home City.
Is the indicated hour and/or minute wrong?
The hour hand and/or minute hand may be out of alignment. Perform the procedure under “Hand Alignment Adjustment” to auto adjust hour and minute hand alignment.
After checking the above, the time and/or day settings is still wrong.
Adjust time and day settings manually.
Altitude Measurement
Q1Readings produce different results at the same location.
Watch readings are different from altitude information available from other sources.
Correct altitude readings are not possible.
Relative altitude is calculated based on changes in barometric pressure measured by the watch’s pressure sensor. This means that barometric pressure changes can cause readings taken at the same location to be different. Also note that the value displayed by the watch may be different from the actual elevation and/or sea level elevation indicated for the area where you are located. When using the watch’s altimeter while mountain climbing, it is recommended that you regularly calibrate its readings in accordance with local altitude (elevation) indications.
Q2Following a relative altitude reading, the watch’s second hand points to 9 o’clock.
The second hand will move to 9 o’clock if a reading is outside the allowable altitude measurement range (-700 m to 10,000 m (-2,300 to 32,800 feet)). If [ERR] is displayed, there may be a problem with the sensor.
Q3[ERR] appears during measurement.
There may be a problem with the sensor. Try taking another measurement.
If [ERR] keeps appearing after multiple measurement attempts, contact a CASIO service center or your original retailer.
Digital Compass
Q1The entire display is flashing.
Abnormal magnetism has been detected. Move away from any potential source of strong magnetism and try taking a reading again.
If the display flashes again, it could mean that the watch itself has become magnetized. Move away from any potential source of strong magnetism, perform 2-point calibration, and then try taking a reading again.
Q2[ERR] appears during measurement.
There is a problem with the sensor or there may be a source strong magnetic force nearby. Move away from any potential source of strong magnetism and try taking a reading again. If [ERR] keeps appearing after multiple measurement attempts, contact a CASIO service center or your original retailer.
Q3[ERR] appears following 2-point calibration.
[ERR] on the display could indicate a sensor problem.
If [ERR] disappears after about one second, try performing 2-point calibration again.
If [ERR] keeps appearing after multiple attempts, contact a CASIO service center or your original retailer.
Q4Direction information indicated by the watch is different from that indicated by a backup compass.
Move away from any potential source of strong magnetism, perform 2-point calibration, and then try taking a reading again.
Q5Readings at the same location produce different results.
Cannot take readings indoors.
Move away from any potential source of strong magnetism and try taking a reading again.
Barometric Pressure Measurement
Q1Following a relative barometric pressure reading, the watch’s second hand points to 9 o’clock.
The second hand will move to 9 o’clock if a reading is outside the allowable barometric pressure measurement range (260 hPa to 1,100 hPa (7.65 inHg to 32.45 inHg)). If [ERR] appears on the display, there may be a problem with the sensor.
Q2[ERR] appears during measurement.
There may be a problem with the sensor. Try taking another measurement. If [ERR] keeps appearing after multiple measurement attempts, contact a CASIO service center or your original retailer.
Temperature Measurement
Q1[ERR] appears during measurement.
There may be a problem with the sensor. Try taking another measurement. If [ERR] keeps appearing after multiple measurement attempts, contact a CASIO service center or your original retailer.
World Time
Q1The time for a World Time City is not correct.
The summer time setting (standard time/summer time) may be wrong.
Alarm
Q1The alarm does not sound.
Is the watch’s battery charged?
Keep the watch exposed to light until it recharges sufficiently.
The crown is pulled out.
The alarm will not sound while the crown is pulled out. Push the crown back in to its normal position.
Is the alarm enabled?
Enable the alarm.
Hand Movement and Watch Screen Indications
Q1I don’t know what mode the watch is in.
You can determine the current mode by checking the watch display. Use (B) to navigate between modes.
Q2The second hand is jumping at two-second intervals.
Battery power is low. Keep the watch exposed to light until it recharges sufficiently.
Q3All hands are stopped and buttons do not work.
The battery is dead. Keep the watch exposed to light until it recharges sufficiently.
Q4The hands suddenly start moving at high speed.
This is due to the reason (or one of the reasons) below, and does not indicate malfunction. Simply wait until normal hand movement resumes.
The watch is recovering from a power saving state.
A time calibration signal is being received and the time setting is being adjusted.
Q5Hands are stopped and buttons do not work.
The watch is in the charge recovery mode. Wait until the recovery process is complete (for about 15 minutes). The watch will recover more quickly if you place it in a brightly lit location.
Q6Why is the current time indicated by the watch is off by a certain amount of time (nine hours, three hours and 15 minutes, etc.)?
The city setting is not correct. Select the correct setting.
Q7The current time indicated by the watch is off by one hour or 30 minutes.
The summer time setting may not be correct. Select the correct setting.
Q8The time indicated by the hands is different from the displayed time.
Strong magnetism or impact can cause the hands to go out of alignment. Adjust hand alignment.
Crown Operations
Q1Nothing happens when I rotate the crown.
If you do not perform any operation for about two minutes after pulling out the crown (approximately 30 minutes in the case of hand and day indicator alignment), crown operations will automatically become disabled. Push the crown back in to its normal position and then pull it out again to re-enable crown operations.
Charging
Q1The watch does not work even though it is exposed to light.
The watch stops operating whenever the battery goes dead. Keep the watch exposed to light until it recharges sufficiently.
Q2[RECOVER] is flashing on the display.
The watch is in the charge recovery mode. Wait until the recovery process is complete (about 15 minutes). The watch will recover more quickly if you place it in a brightly lit location.
If a sensor measurement operation, illumination and/or other power-intensive functions are used within a short period of time, the charging capacity of the battery drops and causes the watch to go into a charge recovery mode. Function availability is temporarily limited, but functionality returns after the battery recovers.
Q3[CHARGE] is flashing on the digital display.
The charge level of the watch is extremely low. Immediately expose the watch to light to charge it.
