Operation Guide 5562
E-69
Temperature
x Never leave your watch on the dashboard of a car, near a heater, or in any other
location that is subject to very high temperatures. Do not leave your watch where it
will be exposed to very low temperatures. Temperature extremes can cause your
watch to lose or gain time, to stop, or otherwise malfunction.
x Leaving your watch in an area hotter than +60°C (140°F) for long periods can lead
to problems with its LCD. The LCD may become difficult to read at temperatures
lower than 0°C (32°F) and greater than +40°C (104°F).
Impact
x Your watch is designed to withstand impact incurred during normal daily use and
during light activity such as playing catch, tennis, etc. Dropping your watch or
otherwise subjecting it to strong impact, however, can lead to malfunction. Note that
watches with shock-resistant designs (G-SHOCK, BABY-G, G-MS) can be worn
while operating a chain saw or engaging in other activities that generate strong
vibration, or while engaging in strenuous sports activities (motocross, etc.)
E-68
Band
x Tightening the band too tightly can cause you to sweat and make it difficult for air
to pass under the band, which can lead to skin irritation. Do not fasten the band too
tightly. There should be enough room between the band and your wrist so you can
insert your finger.
x Deterioration, rust, and other conditions can cause the band to break or come off
of your watch, which in turn can cause band pins to fly out of position or to fall out.
This creates the risk of your watch falling from your wrist and becoming lost, and
also creates the risk of personal injury. Always take good care of your band and
keep it clean.
x Immediately stop using a band if you even notice any of the following: loss of band
flexibility, band cracks, band discoloration, band looseness, band connecting pin
flying or falling out, or any other abnormality. Take your watch to your original
retailer or to a CASIO service center for inspection and repair (for which you will be
charged) or to have the band replaced (for which you will be charged).
E-67
x A trained technician will inspect your watch for proper water resistance whenever
you have its battery replaced. Battery replacement requires the use of special tools.
Always request battery replacement from your original retailer or from an authorized
CASIO service center.
x Some water-resistant watches come with fashionable leather bands. Avoid
swimming, washing, or any other activity that causes direct exposure of a leather
band to water.
x The inside surface of the watch glass may fog when the watch is exposed to
a sudden drop in temperature. No problem is indicated if the fogging clears up
relatively quickly. Sudden and extreme temperature changes (such as coming into
an air conditioned room in the summer and standing close to an air conditioner
outlet, or leaving a heated room in the winter and allowing your watch to come into
contact with snow) can cause it to take longer for glass fogging to clear up. If glass
fogging does not clear up or if you notice moisture inside of the glass, immediately
stop using your watch and take it to your original retailer or to an authorized CASIO
service center.
x Your water-resistant watch has been tested in accordance with International
Organization for Standardization regulations.
E-66
x Watches that do not have WATER RESIST or WATER RESISTANT marked on the
back cover are not protected against the effects of sweat. Avoid using such a watch
under conditions where it will be exposed to large amounts of sweat or moisture, or
to direct splashing with water.
x Even if a watch is water resistant, note the usage precautions described below.
Such types of use reduce water resistance performance and can cause fogging of
the glass.
− Do not operate the crown or buttons while your watch is submersed in water or
wet.
− Avoid wearing your watch while in the bath.
− Do not wear your watch while in a heated swimming pool, sauna, or any other high
temperature/high humidity environment.
− Do not wear your watch while washing your hands or face, while doing housework,
or while performing any other task that involves soaps or detergents.
x After submersion in seawater, use plain water to rinse all salt and dirt from your
watch.
x To maintain water resistance, have the gaskets of your watch replaced periodically
(about once every two or three years).

■ The analog hands are not indicating the correct time.
If the HANDS indicator is displayed, it means that the analog hands are currently
in a position for easier viewing of digital information. Hold down C for about four
seconds to return to the Timekeeping Mode.
World Time Mode
■ The time for my World Time City is not correct in the World Time Mode.
This could be due to incorrect switching between standard time and daylight saving
time. See “To specify standard time or daylight saving time (DST) for a city” (page E-32)
for more information.
Charging
■ The watch does not resume operation after I expose it to light.
This can happen after the power level drops to Level 5 (page E-12). Continue exposing
the watch to light until the battery power indicator shows H or M.
E-60
Troubleshooting
Time Setting
■ The current time setting is off by hours.
Your Home City setting may be wrong (page E-24). Check your Home City setting and
correct it, if necessary.
■ The current time setting is off by one hour.
You may need to change your Home City’s standard time/daylight saving time
(DST) setting. Use the procedure under “To change the current time and date
settings” (page E-27) to change the standard time/daylight saving time (DST) setting.
■ The hands are misaligned.
This could indicate that the watch has been exposed to magnetism or strong
impact, which has caused problems with proper hand alignment. Adjust the watch’s
hand home position alignment (page E-52).
