Getting Acquainted
Congratulations upon your selection of this CASIO watch. To get the most out
of your purchase, be sure to read this manual carefully and keep it on hand
for later reference when necessary.
Applications
The built-in sensors of this watch measure direction, barometric pressure,
temperature and altitude. 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.
Keep the watch exposed to bright light
The electricity generated by the solar cell of the
watch is stored by a built-in battery. Leaving or
using the watch where it is not exposed to light
causes the battery to run down. Make sure the
watch is exposed to light as much as possible.
· When you are not wearing the watch on your
wrist, position the face so it is pointed at a
source of bright light.
· You should try to keep the watch outside of
your sleeve as much as possible. Even if the
face of the watch is only partially blocked from
light, charging will be reduced significantly.

· The displayed barometric pressure value changes to xxxx hPa (or inHg) if
a measured barometric pressure falls outside the range of 260 hPa to
1100 hPa (7.65 inHg to 32.45 inHg). The barometric pressure value will
reappear as soon as the measured barometric pressure is within the
allowable range.
· Temperature is displayed in units of 0.1°C (or 0.2°F).
· The displayed temperature value changes to xxx °C (or °F) if a measured
temperature falls outside the range of ­10.0
°C to 60.0°C (14.0°F to
140.0
°F). The temperature value will reappear as soon as the measured
temperature is within the allowable range.

· In some areas, barometric pressure is expressed in millibars (mb) instead
of hectopascals (hPa). It really makes no difference, because 1hPa = 1mb.
· You can select either hectopascals (hPa) or inchesHg (inHg) as the display
unit for the measured barometric pressure, and Celsius (
°C) or Fahrenheit
(
°F) as the display unit for the measured temperature value. See "To select
the temperature, barometric pressure, and altitude units".
· See "Barometer and Thermometer Precautions" for important precautions.
Barometric Pressure Graph
Barometric pressure indicates changes in the atmosphere. By monitoring
these changes you can predict the weather with reasonable accuracy.
This watch takes barometric pressure measurements automatically every two
hours (at the top of each even-numbered hour), regardless of its current
mode. Measurement results are used to produce barometric pressure graph
and barometric pressure differential pointer readings.
The barometric pressure graph shows readings of previous measurements for
up to 30 hours. The horizontal axis of the graph represents time, with each dot
standing for two hours. The rightmost dot (flashing) represents the most
recent reading. The vertical axis of the graph represents barometric pressure,
with each dot standing for the relative difference between its reading and that
of the dots next to it. Each dot represents 1hPa.
The following shows how to interpret the data that appears on the barometric
pressure graph.
A rising graph generally means improving weather.
A falling graph generally means deteriorating weather.
Note that if there are sudden changes in weather or
temperature, the graph line of past measurements may run
off the top or bottom of the display. The entire graph will
become visible once barometric conditions stabilize.
The following conditions cause the barometric pressure
measurement to be skipped, with the corresponding point on
the barometric pressure graph being left blank.
· Barometric reading that is out of range (260 hPa/mb to 1,100 hPa/mb or
7.65 inHg to 32.45 inHg)
· Sensor malfunction
Not visible on
the display.
Barometric Pressure Differential Pointer
This pointer indicates the relative difference between the most recent
barometric pressure reading indicated on the barometric pressure graph, and
the current barometric pressure value displayed in the Barometer/
Thermometer Mode
· Pressure differential is indicated in the range of ±15 hPa, in 1-hPa units.
· The barometric pressure differential pointer is not displayed when the
displayed current barometric value is outside of the allowable measurement
range (260 to 1,100 hPa).
· Barometric pressure is calculated and displayed using hPa as the standard.
The barometric pressure differential can also be read in inHg units as
shown in the illustration.

About Barometric and Temperature Measurements
· Barometric pressure and temperature measurement operations are
performed as soon as you enter the Barometer/Thermometer Mode. After
that, barometric pressure and temperature measurements are taken every
five seconds.
· The ACT indicator flashes on the display while a measurement is in
progress.
· You can also perform a barometric pressure and temperature measurement
at any time by pressing B in the Barometer/Thermometer Mode.
Altimeter
The watch's altimeter uses a pressure sensor to detect current air pressure,
which is then used to estimate the current altitude based on ISA (International
Standard Atmosphere) preset values. You can also specify a reference
altitude, which the watch will use to calculate your current altitude based on
the value you specify. Altimeter functions also include storage of
measurement data in memory and an altitude alarm.
Important!
· This watch estimates altitude based on air pressure. This means that
altitude readings for the same location may vary if air pressure changes.
· The semiconductor pressure sensor used by the watch for altitude
measurements is also affected by temperature. When taking altitude
measurements, make sure the watch is not subjected to temperature
changes.
· To avoid the effect of sudden temperature changes during measurement,
keep the watch on your wrist in direct contact with your skin.
· Do not rely upon this watch for altitude measurements or perform button
operations while sky diving, hang gliding, or paragliding, while riding a
gyrocopter, glider, or any other aircraft, or while engaging in any other
activity where there is the chance of sudden altitude changes.
· Do not use this watch for measuring altitude in applications that demand
professional or industrial level precision.
· Remember that the air inside of a commercial aircraft is pressurized.
Because of this, the readings produced by this watch will not match the
altitude readings announced or indicated the flight crew.
How the Altimeter Measures Altitude
The altimeter can measure altitude based on its own preset values, or a
reference altitude specified by you.
When you measure altitude based on preset values
Data produced by the watch's barometric pressure sensor is converted to
approximate altitude based on ISA (International Standard Atmosphere)
conversion values stored in watch memory.
When you measure altitude using a reference altitude specified by you
After you specify a reference altitude, the watch uses that value to convert the
current measured barometric pressure value to altitude.
· To determine the height of a tall building, for
example, specify zero for the reference
altitude value while you are on the ground
floor. Then when you go to a higher floor, the
altitude displayed by the watch will indicate
the height from the ground floor. Note that
you may not be able to get a good reading if
the building is pressurized or air-conditioned.
· When mountain climbing, you can set the
reference value in accordance with a marker
along the way or altitude information from a
map. After that, the altitude readings
produced by the watch will be more accurate
than they would without a reference altitude.

5. When the setting is the way you want, press E to exit the setting screen.
Displaying Your Current Altitude
You can use the procedure described in this section to display your current
altitude. If you leave the watch in the Altimeter Mode, it will regularly update
the displayed altitude value, and indicate reading-to-reading changes in the
altitude graph at the top of the display.
Important!
· The procedure in this section simply displays values indicating your current
altitude, without storing them in watch memory. For information about
recording altitude readings in watch memory, see "Saving Altitude Data".

Altitude Alarm
The altitude alarm sounds for about five seconds when the current altitude
matches a preset value during an altitude measurement operation. You can
press any button to stop the alarm after it starts to sound.
The altitude alarm sounds only while the Altimeter Mode's Altitude Screen is
on the display. It does not sound while the watch is in another mode or while
another Altimeter Mode screen is on the display.
Example
If you set the altitude alarm at 130 meters, it sounds when you pass the 130-
meter mark on your way up and on your way back down.
To set the altitude alarm
1. In the Altimeter Mode, hold down E until
SET appears in the upper display area.
2. Release E, and wait for four or five more
seconds until either OFF or the current
reference altitude value (if set) start to flash.
This is the setting screen.
3. Press D once to display the altitude alarm
setting.
4. Press C (+) or A (­) to change the current
altitude alarm value by 5 meters (or 20 feet).
· You can set the altitude alarm value within
the range of ­10,000 to 10,000 meters
(­32,800 to 32,800 feet).
· Pressing A and C at the same time resets
the altitude alarm value to O.
5. Press E to exit the setting screen.
