To position yourself to move in the direction of the recorded bearing, move around until the Bearing
Memory Pointer points straight ahead of you, as shown above.
This section shows three actual examples of how to use the watchs digital compass.
Setting a map and nding your current location
Having an idea of your current location is important when mountain climbing or hiking. To do this, you
need to set the map, which means to align the map so the directions indicated on it are aligned with
the actual directions of your location. Basically what you are doing is aligning north on the map with
north as indicated by the watch.

E-29
E-28
2. While in any mode (except a setting mode), press C to take a compass reading.
Direction readings are taken every second for 20 seconds.
North indicated
on the map
3. Rotate the map without moving the watch so the northerly direction
indicated on the map matches north as indicated by the watch.
If the watch is congured to indicate magnetic north, align the
maps magnetic north with the watch indication. If the watch has
been congured with a declination to correct to true north, align
the maps true north with the watch indication. For details, see
Calibrating the Bearing Sensor (page E-22).
This will position the map in accordance with your current location.
4. Determine your location as you check the geographic contours around
you.
2. Set the map so its northerly indication is aligned with north as indicated
by the watch, and determine your current location.
See To set a map and nd your current location on page E-30 for
information about how to perform the above step.

3. Next, set the map so the direction you want to travel on the map is
pointed straight in front of you.

5. Still holding the map in front of you, turn your body until north as
indicated by the watch and the northerly direction on the map are
aligned.
This will position the map in accordance with your current location,
so the bearing to your objective is straight ahead of you.

2. As shown in the illustration to the left, change your position so you (and
the 12 oclock position of the watch) are pointed in the direction of
objective, while keeping the northerly direction indicated on the map
aligned with north as indicated by the watch.
If you nd it difcult to perform the above step while keeping
everything aligned, rst move into the correct position (12 oclock
position of the watch pointed at the objective) without worrying
about the orientation of the map. Next, perform step 1 again to set
the map.

Temperature
Storage
The precision of the bearing sensor may deteriorate if the watch becomes magnetized. Because of
this, you should store the watch away from magnets or any other sources of strong magnetism,
including: permanent magnets (magnetic necklaces, etc.) and household appliances (TVs, personal
computers, washing machines, freezers, etc.).
Whenever you suspect that the watch may have become magnetized, perform the procedure under To
perform bidirectional calibration (page E-23).
E-34
E-35
Temperature
Temperature is displayed in units of 0.1C (or 0.2F).
The displayed temperature value changes to - - - C (or F) if a
measured temperature falls outside the range of 10.0C to 60.0C
(14.0F to 140.0F). The temperature value will reappear as soon as
the measured temperature is within the allowable range.
Temperature
Display Units
You can select either Celsius (C) or Fahrenheit (F) for the displayed temperature value. See To specify
the temperature unit (page E-38).
4. Use E (+) and B () to calibrate the temperature value with the reading of another instrument.
Each press of a button changes the temperature value in units of 0.1C (0.2F).
To return the currently ashing value to its initial factory default setting, press E and B at the
same time.
5. Press A to return to the Thermometer Mode.
Thermometer Precautions
Temperature measurements are affected by your body temperature (while you are wearing the watch),
direct sunlight, and moisture. To achieve a more accurate temperature measurement, remove the watch
from your wrist, place it in a well ventilated location out of direct sunlight, and wipe all moisture from the
case. It takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes for the case of the watch to reach the actual surrounding
temperature.
E-36

Warning!
Always make sure you are in a safe place whenever you are reading the display of the watch
using the auto light switch. Be especially careful when running or engaged in any other activity
that can result in accident or injury. Also take care that sudden illumination by the auto light
switch does not startle or distract others around you.
When you are wearing the watch, make sure that its auto light switch is turned off before riding
on a bicycle or operating a motorcycle or any other motor vehicle. Sudden and unintended
operation of the auto light switch can create a distraction, which can result in a trafc accident
and serious personal injury.
Note
The auto light switch is always disabled, regardless of its enabled/disabled setting, when any one of
the following conditions exists.

Troubleshooting
Digital Compass
Operation
Temperature
Measurement
Time Setting
Why is the current time setting off by a couple of hours?
Your Home City setting may be wrong (page E-13). Check your Home City setting and correct it, if
necessary.
Why is the current time setting off by one hour?
You may need to change your Home Citys standard time/daylight saving time (DST) setting. Use the
procedure under To change the current time and date settings (page E-15) to change the standard time/
daylight saving time (DST) setting.
Sensor modes
Why cant I change the temperature unit setting?
The temperature unit setting is always Celsius (C) whenever TOKYO is selected as the Home City. In
this case, the setting cannot be changed.
Why does ERR appear while a sensor operation is in progress?
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 lower display and sensor operations will be
disabled.
If ERR appears while a measurement operation is being performed in a sensor mode, restart the
measurement. If ERR appears on the lower display again, it can mean there is something wrong with
the sensor.
If ERR keeps appearing during measurement, it could mean there is a problem with the applicable
sensor.
Why does ERR appear on the lower display following bidirectional calibration?
If - - - appears and then changes to ERR (error) while you are performing sensor calibration, it means that
there is something wrong with the sensor.
If ERR disappears after about one second, try performing the calibration again.
If ERR keeps appearing, contact your original dealer or nearest authorized CASIO distributor to have
the watch checked.
Whenever you have a sensor malfunction, take the watch to your original dealer or nearest authorized
CASIO distributor as soon as possible.
E-52
E-53
Battery
Why is the low battery alert ashing?
Battery power is low. Watch operations are disabled while the low battery
alert is ashing on the lower display.
If the low battery alert disappears after battery power recovers but then
starts to ash again after a short while, it means that you need to have
the watchs battery replaced.
