reaches one hour before an alarm time. This pre-alarm feature lets you know that an
alarm time is about to be reached.

Data and Setting Scrolling
The B and D buttons are used in various modes and setting screens to scroll
through data on the display. In most cases, holding down these buttons during a scroll
operation scrolls through the data at high speed.
Initial Screens
When you enter the e-DATA MEMORY, World Time, or Alarm Mode, the data you were
viewing when you last exited the mode appears first.
Timekeeping
• Resetting the seconds to 00 while the current count is in the range of 30 to 59
causes the minutes to be increased by 1. In the range of 00 to 29, the seconds are
reset to 00 without changing the minutes.
• The year can be set in the range of 2000 to 2039.
• The watch’s built-in full automatic calendar automatically makes allowances for
different month lengths and leap years. Once you set the date, there should be no
reason to change it except after you have the watch’s battery replaced.
e-DATA MEMORY Management
e-DATA MEMORY can hold up to 315 characters total, while each record can contain
up to 63 characters. The maximum number of records depends on the number of
characters per record, as shown below.
• 63 characters per record: 5 records
• 7 characters per record: 40 records
When you purchase the watch, e-DATA MEMORY contains one record, with the text:
http://world.casio.com. This text is also stored automatically whenever memory
contents are cleared by battery replacement.
3. While a setting is flashing, use D and B to change it as described below.
