Troubleshooting
Time Setting
■ The current time setting is off by hours.
Your Home City setting may be wrong. 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” to 
change the standard time/daylight saving time (DST) setting.
Sensor modes
■ I can’t change the temperature, barometric pressure, and altitude units.
When TYO (Tokyo) is selected as the Home City, the altitude unit is set automatically 
to meters (m), the barometric pressure unit to hectopascals (hPa), and the 
temperature unit to Celsius (°C). These settings cannot be changed.
■ The battery indicator ( 
 ) appears while a sensor operation is being 
performed.
The battery indicator appears in the upper left corner of the digital 
display whenever there is not enough battery power available to 
perform a sensor operation in the Barometer/Thermometer Mode 
or Altimeter Mode. Sensor operation is disabled while the battery 
indicator is displayed. 
 Normal operation should return after battery power recovers.
■ “ERR” appears 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 display 
and sensor operations will be disabled.

Measurement
 If ERR appears while a measurement operation is being performed in a sensor mode, 
restart the measurement. If ERR appears on the display again, it can mean there is 
something wrong with the sensor.
Barometer/Thermometer Mode and Altimeter Mode sensor operations are disabled 
whenever there is not enough battery power available to perform a sensor operation. 
This is true regardless of the current battery level. In this case, ERR will appear on 
the display. This does not indicate malfunction, and sensor operation should resume 
once battery voltage returns to its normal level.
 If ERR keeps appearing during measurement, it could mean there is a problem with 
the applicable sensor.
Whenever you have a sensor malfunction, take the watch to your original dealer or 
nearest authorized CASIO distributor as soon as possible.
■ The barometric pressure differential pointer does not appear on the display 
when I enter the Barometer/Thermometer Mode.
 This could indicate sensor error. Try using 
C to re-enter the Barometer/
Thermometer Mode.
 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).
World Time Mode
■ The time for my World Time City is off 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” for more 
information.

 Values are guaranteed for a temperature range of –10°C to 40°C (14°F to 104°F).
 Precision is lessened by strong impact to either the watch or the sensor, and by 
temperature extremes.
