Temperature and
Barometric Pressure
· It can take up to four or five seconds for the barometric pressure reading to
appear after you enter the Barometer/Thermometer Mode.
· Barometric pressure is displayed in units of 1hPa (or 0.05 inHg).
· The displayed barometric pressure value changes to
xxxx hPa (or inHg) if
a measured barometric pressure falls outside the range of 600 hPa to 1100
hPa (17.70 inHg to 32.45 inHg). The barometric pressure value will be
displayed again as soon as the measured barometric pressure is within the
allowable range.
· Temperature is displayed in units of 0.1°C (or 0.2°F).
· The displayed temperature value changes to
xx. x °C (or °F) if a
measured temperature falls outside the range of 10.0°C to 60.0°C (14.0°F
to 140.0°F). The temperature value will be displayed again as soon as the
measured temperature is within the allowable range.
· Some countries refer to the barometric pressure unit hecto-pascal (hPa) as
millibars (mb). It really makes no difference, because 1hPa = 1mb.
· See "Barometer and Thermometer Precautions" for important precautions.
Barometric Pressure History Graph
Barometric pressure indicates changes in the atmosphere. By monitoring
these changes you can predict the weather with reasonable accuracy.
The barometric pressure history graph contains points that show you the
changes in barometric pressure readings taken by the watch for up to the last
18 hours. The rightmost point on the graph is the latest reading. The relative
positions of the points on the graph indicate whether barometric pressure is
rising, falling, or holding relatively steady.
· Though you can configure the watch to display barometric pressure in units
of hPa or inHg, the history graph always uses hPa. This means that the
points plotted on the history graph are based on ±3hPa changes in
barometric pressure.
· No point is plotted on the graph whenever a measurement operation fails
due to sensor malfunction, low battery power, or any other reason.
Relatively steady (within ±3hPa)
Rising (rise greater than 3hPa)
Falling (fall greater than 3hPa)
· Barometric pressure measurement is disabled whenever you are
performing depth measurement in the Depth Gauge Mode. Because of this,
the graph plots of barometric pressure measurement operations that occur
during a depth measurement are skipped.
The following shows how to interpret the data that appears on the barometric
pressure history graph.
A rising graph generally means improving weather.
A falling graph generally means deteriorating weather.
About Barometric and Temperature Measurements
· Barometric pressure and temperature measurement operations are
performed as soon as you enter the Barometer/Thermometer Mode. After
that, barometric pressure and temperature measurements are taken every
five seconds for the first two or three minutes.
· The
indicator above
BARO flashes while the watch is taking a
barometric pressure reading.
· The barometer automatically takes measurements every three hours
(starting from midnight), regardless of what mode you are in. The results of
these measurements are used for plotting points on the barometric
pressure history graph.
· You can also perform a barometric pressure and temperature measurement
at any time by pressing B in the Barometer/Thermometer Mode.
Barometer and Thermometer Precautions
· The pressure sensor built into this watch measures changes in air
pressure, which you can then apply to your own weather predictions. It is
not intended for use as a precision instrument in official weather prediction
or reporting applications.
· Sudden temperature changes can affect pressure sensor readings.
· 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.
· You can select either hectopascals (hPa) or inchesHg (inHg) as the display
unit for the measured barometric pressure. See "Changing the Barometric
Pressure and Temperature Units" for details.
· You can select either Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F) as the display unit for
the measured temperature value. See "Changing the Barometric Pressure
and Temperature Units" for details.
Altimeter
A built-in altimeter uses a pressure sensor to detect the current air pressure,
which is then used to estimate the current altitude. The watch is pre-
programmed with ISA (International Standard Atmosphere) preset values,
which are used to convert air pressure readings to altitude values. If you
preset a reference altitude, the watch will also calculate the current relative
altitude based on your preset value.
Important!
· This watch estimates altitude based on air pressure. This means that
altitude readings for the same location may vary if air pressure changes.
· This watch employs a semiconductor pressure sensor, which is affected by
temperature changes. Make sure that the watch is not being exposed to
temperature changes while you are taking altitude measurements.
· To avoid the effect of sudden temperature changes on measurement, wear
the watch so it is in direct contact with your wrist during measurement.
· Do not rely upon this watch for altitude measurements or perform button
operations while engaging in sports where there are sudden altitude
changes, while sky diving, hang gliding, or paragliding, or while riding a
gyrocopter, glider, or any other aircraft.
· Remember that the air inside of a commercial aircraft is pressurized.
Because of this, the readings produced by this watch will not match the
altitude readings announced or indicated by the flight crew.
How the Altimeter Works
With the Preset Values (No Reference Altitude)
· The watch measures the air pressure at your current location and uses the
built-in ISA values to convert it to the equivalent altitude.
With a Reference Altitude
· If you set a reference altitude, the watch
uses that value when calculating altitude
based on air pressure.
· To determine the height of a tall building,
set the reference altitude to 0 on the
ground floor. Note, however, that you may
not be able to get a good reading if the
building is pressurized or air-conditioned.
· When mountain climbing, you can set the
reference value in accordance with a
marker along the way or altitude
information from a map. After you do this,
the altitude readings produced by the
watch will be more accurate than they
would without a reference altitude.

Altimeter Mode and automatically starts altitude
measurement.
· It can take up to four or five seconds for the
altitude reading to appear after you enter the
Altimeter Mode.
· The Altimeter Mode screen also displays the
current temperature. See "Barometer/
Thermometer" for more information.
· During the first two or three minutes after
entering the Altimeter Mode, the
indicator
flashes on the display and measurements are
taken every five seconds. After that, the
indicator stops flashing and remains on the
display as measurements are taken every two
minutes.

Temperature
· Pressing D causes the measurement operation to restart from the
beginning of the cycle described above.
· Altitude is displayed in units of 5 meters (20 feet).
· The measurement range for altitude is 700 to 4,000 meters (2,300 to
13,120 feet). The display range for altitude (include values based on the
reference altitude) is 4,000 to 4,000 meters (13,120 to 13,120 feet).
· An altitude reading may result in a negative value in cases when you have
a reference altitude value set or because of certain atmospheric conditions.
· The displayed altitude value changes to
xxxx meters (or feet) if a
measured altitude falls outside the measurement range. The altitude value
will be displayed again as soon as the measured altitude is within the
allowable range.
· You can change the unit of measurement for the displayed altitude values
between meters (m) and feet (ft). See "To change the altitude unit".
Setting a Reference Altitude
After you set a reference altitude, the watch adjusts its air-pressure-to-altitude
conversion calculation accordingly. The altitude measurements produced by
this watch are subject to error caused by changes in air pressure. Because of
this, we recommend that you update the reference altitude whenever one is
available during your climb.
To set a reference altitude
1. In the Altimeter Mode, hold down A until
OFF appears (flashing) or until the display
goes blank. This is the setting screen.
· Wait for four or five seconds before
performing step 2, below. If you don't wait,
there is the chance of setting value error.
· If the display went blank in step 1, the
current reference value will appear
(flashing) on the display after the four or five
seconds pass.

· If
OFF or the current reference altitude value does not appear at this
time, press A to return to the Altimeter Mode screen, and perform step
1 again.
2. Press D (+) or B () to change the current reference altitude value by 5
meters (or 20 feet).
· You can set the reference altitude within the range of 4,000 to 4,000
meters (13,120 to 13,120 feet).
· Pressing D and B at the same time returns to
OFF(no reference
altitude), so the watch performs air pressure to altitude conversions
based on preset data only.
3. Press A to exit the setting screen.
Depth Gauge
The pressure sensor of the watch can also be used to perform underwater
depth measurement while skin diving or snorkeling. Depth readings are taken
every three seconds, and displayed as a value up to 30 meters (98 feet). You
can store the data of your last dive in log memory, including total time
submerged, maximum depth, and water temperature at the maximum depth
attained during your dive. You can view the log data of your last dive before
beginning a new dive.
Important!
· Never use this watch to measure depth while scuba diving.
· This watch is designed to start depth measurement and record data in
memory after a depth of 1 meter (4 feet) is reached. Because of this, the
explanations in this User's Guide uses the term "submerged" to refer to
any depth deeper than 1 meter, and the "on the surface" to refer to any
depth shallower than 1 meter.
· Leaving the watch in the Depth Gauge Mode while not in the water
consumes battery power. Exit the Depth Gauge Mode whenever you are
not using it.
· The measurement unit selected in the Altimeter Mode is also used in the
Depth Gauge Mode.
What is "a dive"?
A dive starts when you pass a depth of one meter (about four feet) while the
watch is in the Depth Gauge Mode. The dive ends when you are on the
surface and exit the Depth Gauge Mode. A dive does not end if you surface
but do not exit the Depth Gauge Mode.
Enter the Depth Gauge Mode.

End of dive
· Remember that the term "dive" as used in this manual refers to skin diving
or snorkeling only.
· The watch will start depth measurement automatically when the sensor
detects that your depth exceeds one meter (about four feet).
· Depth measurement stops automatically whenever your depth becomes
less than one meter (four feet).
· Depth measurement restarts whenever you re-submerge past one meter
(four feet). All data that is measured between the start of the dive and the
end of the dive is treated as part of the same dive, no matter how many
times you surface during the dive.
To perform depth measurement
1. Before beginning a dive, enter the
Timekeeping Mode and then press C to enter
the Depth Gauge Mode.
· It can take up to four or five seconds until
(or 0) appears on the display.
2. Enter the water and submerge past one meter
(four feet) to start the dive.
3. When you want to end the dive, return to the surface and then press C to
exit the Depth Gauge Mode.
· Exiting the Depth Gauge Mode causes the data accumulated during the
dive (time submerged, maximum depth attained, water temperature at
maximum depth) to be stored in log memory.
· The watch will not exit the Depth Gauge Mode if any value other than
(or 0) is displayed for the depth when you press C. If
(or 0) does not
appear on the display even though you are on the surface (depth of less
than 1 meter/4 feet), perform the procedure under "To manually reset the
reference depth to 0 meters (feet)".
· See "Log Data" for information about viewing dive data.
To view water temperature and maximum depth
In the Depth Gauge Mode, you can press D toggles the display between the
Elapsed Measurement Time/Current Depth and the Water Temperature/
Maximum Depth screens.
· If you do not perform any button operation for about five or six seconds
while the Water Temperature/Maximum Depth screen is on the display, the
watch will automatically return to the Elapsed Measurement Time/Current
Depth screen.
· Never operate the buttons of the watch while underwater.

While Skin Diving/Snorkeling
· Check to make sure that timer operation and depth measurement are
being properly.
· Take care when skin diving/snorkeling near rocks or coral to avoid
scratching the watch.
After Skin Diving/Snorkeling
· To avoid corrosion, rinse your watch thoroughly with fresh water to
remove salt water, dirt, etc. (When possible, soak the watch in fresh
water overnight to make sure that all salt is removed.)
· When using a metal band, occasionally clean inside the gaps in the
band using a soft toothbrush and soapy water. Failure to do so can
result in corrosion of the timepiece, soiling of clothing or irritation to
sensitive skin.
Depth Gauge Mode Precautions
· After you enter the Depth Gauge Mode, the watch automatically takes a
reference pressure reading and sets the result a 0 meters (feet). This
means that before starting a dive, you should enter the Depth Gauge Mode
while at the water's surface, never while the watch is submerged.
· A major change in air temperature or other phenomena while you are using
the Depth Gauge Mode can cause the display to show a value other than 0
meters (feet) when you are at the surface of the water. If this happens, reset
the reference depth to 0 meters (feet). See "To manually reset the reference
depth to 0 meters (feet)" for more information.
· Depth values are displayed in units of 0.1 meter (or 1 foot).
·
(or 0)is displayed whenever your depth is less than one meter (four
feet).
· dEEP is displayed in place of the depth value whenever your depth is
greater than 30 meters (98 feet). If you continue to dive deeper after
dEEP
appears, xxxx will appear in place of the depth value. If xxxx remains on
the display after you surface, hold down C for three seconds to exit the
Depth Gauge Mode. If xxxx keeps appearing in place of the depth value, it
could mean that the sensor is malfunctioning. Take the watch to the place
where you purchased it or to some other CASIO retailer to have it checked.
· If the elapsed measurement time exceeds three hours, the watch will
automatically switch to the Timekeeping Mode and store the data for the
current dive into log memory.
· The progress beeper and auto-repeat timer alarm do not sound while the
watch is in the Depth Gauge Mode.
· The watch can take about five minutes to display the correct water
temperature when there is a great difference between air temperature and
water temperature, when there is a sudden change in water temperature,
etc.
Log Data
Exiting the Depth Gauge Mode after a dive causes the measured data to be
stored automatically into log memory. Stored data remains in log memory
until you start a new dive, which causes the existing data to be replaced with
the data of the new dive.
There is memory for a single log memory record, which includes the following
data.
Total Time Submerged: This value shows the cumulative amount of time
(hours, minutes, seconds) that you spend submerged at a depth of
one meter (four feet) or greater.
Maximum depth: This value shows the maximum depth you attained during
the dive.
Water temperature at maximum depth: This value shows the water
temperature at the maximum depth attained during the dive.
Perform the following steps to view the log data that is currently stored in
memory.
To view log data
1. While in the Timekeeping Mode, press C to enter the Depth Gauge Mode.
2. Press B to cycle through the data screens in the sequence shown below.
