Description

· Watch is in the GPS Mode.

· Flashes when the watch is performing a GPS measurement

operation.

Watch is in the GPS Auto or Continuous Mode.

Watch is in the GPS One-shot or Auto Mode.

Watch is performing a 2-dimensional GPS measurement (using

three satellites). This is the type of measurement normally used

in the Quick, One-Shot, and Auto Mode.

Watch is performing a 3-dimensional GPS measurement (using

four or more satellites), which provides better accuracy than

2D. This is the type of measurement used in the Continuous

Mode when data is obtained from four or more satellites.

Alarm is turned on.

Hourly Time Signal is turned on.

Battery power is low and battery needs to be replaced.

Precautions

· The measurement functions built into this watch are not intended for

use in taking measurements that require professional or industrial

precision. Values produced by this watch should be considered as

reasonably accurate representations only.

· Though a useful navigational tool, a GPS receiver should never be used as

a replacement for conventional map and compass techniques. Remember

that magnetic compasses can work at temperatures well below zero, have

no batteries, and are mechanically simple. They are easy to operate and

understand, and will operate almost anywhere. For these reasons, the

magnetic compass should still be your main navigation tool.

· CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD. assumes no responsibility for any loss or

any claims by third parties that may arise through the use of this watch.

Setting Up the GPS Mode

The following are settings you need to make before actually taking any

measurements with the GPS Mode. Most of these need to be made only the

first time you use the watch. See the referenced pages for full information

about each setting.

· Area setting (See "Setting Your Area")

· Datum setting (See "Setting a Datum")

· Distance unit setting (See "Setting the Distance Unit")

· Speed unit setting (See "Setting the Speed Unit")

Important!

· The Timekeeping Mode time and date settings are also used to determine

the current positions of satellites. Make sure that your time and date setting

are always accurate.

Taking a GPS Measurement

The following are the basic steps for taking a position measurement in the

GPS Mode. See the referenced pages in this manual for further details.

The following procedure uses the One-Shot Mode as an example. See "GPS

Measurement Modes" for information about other measurements.

Important!

· GPS measurements may take a long time to complete or may even be

impossible due to satellite and other conditions.

To take a GPS measurement

1. While a GPS Data Screen is on the

display, press q.

· This example procedure starts from the

Position Screen.

· This changes to the Satellite Search

Screen.

· The indicator flashes above GPS at the

bottom of the screen to indicate that the

watch is searching for overhead satellites.

· To interrupt an ongoing GPS

measurement, press q again.

· Make sure the antenna is pointing up at

the sky while a measurement is taking

place.

2. When the measurement is successful, the watch beeps a number of times

and returns to the GPS Data Screen you started from in step 1.

· See "To add a landmark by registering your current location" for information

about storing GPS measurement data in Landmark Memory.

· See "GPS Measurement Modes" for more information about indicators and

how the watch updates measurement data.

· If the watch is unable to successfully complete the measurement within

about two minutes, it plays a short tune and displays SATELLITE at the top

of the display to let you know. If this happens, press q twice to return to the

GPS Data Screen, move to a more open area, and try again.

· If you perform the above GPS measurement operation within the area

defined by 20

° to 46° north latitude and 122° to 149° east longitude, a

successful measurement causes a map of Japan to appear on the display

for a few seconds, followed by a GPS Data Screen.

GPS Measurement Modes

You can select from among four different GPS measurement modes. The

mode you should select depends on how quickly you want your position data

updated balanced against how important it is for you to conserve remaining

battery power.

Remember, however, that no matter which GPS measurement mode you use,

it can take a considerable amount of time to achieve the first measurement.

· The standby modes provide faster updating of measurement data following

the first measurement, but they consume more battery power because the

watch's GPS circuit remains in standby (half power). The indicator flashing

above GPS at the bottom of a GPS Data Screen indicates that GPS

measurement is in standby.

Antenna

1840-4

· The non-standby modes take longer to produce subsequent

measurements, but shutdown of the watch's GPS circuit between

measurements conserves battery power. In these modes, the indicator

above GPS at the bottom of a GPS Data Screen does not flash and an

indicator appears above SAVE to indicate power save is enabled.

Quick Mode

The Quick Mode performs a GPS measurement when you press q and

updates the GPS Data Screen. After the first measurement, the watch's GPS

circuit remains in standby, which is indicated by the flashing indicator above

GPS at the bottom of the GPS Data Screen. Because of this, subsequent

measurements are produced more quickly. Continuous Quick Mode standby

uses battery power. To exit standby, press

J while the Position Screen is on

the display to change to another measurement.

One-Shot Mode

The One-Shot Mode also performs GPS measurement when you press q and

updates the GPS Data Screen. In this mode, however, the watch's GPS circuit

is shut down between measurements. Because of this, it takes more time to

perform each measurement.

Continuous Mode

The Continuous Mode performs a GPS measurement every second starting

when you press q and ending when you press q again. The GPS Data

Screen is updated with each measurement. In the Continuous Mode, the

watch's GPS circuit remains in standby, which is indicated by the flashing

indicator above GPS at the bottom of the GPS Data Screen.

Auto Mode

The Auto Mode also performs a GPS measurement every minute starting from

when you press q and ending when you press q again. The GPS Data

Screen is updated with each measurement. Though the GPS circuit shuts

down between measurements in this mode, the indicator above GPS

continues to flash until you press q to stop measurement.

Important!

· The indicator flashing above GPS at the bottom of a GPS Data Screen

indicates that the GPS circuit is activated, which consumes valuable battery

power. To prolong battery life, be sure to use the following operations to

turn off the GPS circuit when you are not using it.

· Press q to stop position measurement and turn off the GPS circuit. The

indicator above GPS stops flashing at this time.

Using the Waypoint Plot Screen

The Waypoint Plot Screen shows preset waypoints in sets of two each, a

start

waypoint and a destination waypoint, along with track markers that indicate

your progress between the two points. The distance between start and

destination waypoints is scaled in order to allow both of them to fit on the

screen, so the

virtual width of the screen is adjusted automatically in

accordance with the actual distance between the two displayed waypoints.

Text at the bottom of the screen indicates the name of the next destination

waypoint, and you can specify kilometers, miles, or nautical miles as the unit

of measurement for the virtual width. When you reach a destination waypoint,

a simple operation changes it to your new start waypoint and displays the next

destination waypoint, automatically scaling the distance between them so they

both fit on the screen.

GPS measurement with the Waypoint Plot Screen

After successful measurement is achieved, your current position appears on

the Waypoint Plot Screen, along with your current start waypoint and

destination waypoint.

· Each waypoint is indicated on the display by a flag, which flashes

alternately with the applicable waypoint number.

· See "Taking a GPS Measurement" for full details about GPS

measurements.

To display the next set of waypoints

1. While the Waypoint Plot Screen is on the

display, press
