Things to check before using the watch

Check the battery power level

CASIO-5581-Analog-Watch-fig-2

Check the Home City and the daylight saving time (DST) setting

  • Use the procedure under “To configure Home City settings” (page E-26) to configure your
  • Home City and daylight saving time settings.

IMPORTANT:  Proper World Time mode data depends on the correct Home City, Time, and Date settings in Time Management mode. Make sure you have these settings configured correctly.

Set current time

  • To set the time
    • See “Configuring Current Time and Date Settings”.
    • Your watch is now ready to use.

Charging the Watch

The face of the watch is a solar panel that generates power from light. The generated power charges a built-in rechargeable battery, which powers watch operations. The watch charges whenever it is exposed to light.

Charging Guide

Whenever you are not wearing the watch, leave it in a location where it is exposed to light.

CASIO-5581-Analog-Watch-fig-3
  • Best charging performance is achieved by exposing the watch to the strongest light available.

    CASIO-5581-Analog-Watch-fig-4
  • When wearing the watch, make sure that its face is not blocked from light by the sleeve of your clothing.
    • The watch may enter a sleep state if its face is blocked by your sleeve even only partially.

Warning
Leaving the watch in bright light for charging can cause it to become quite hot.
Take care when handling the watch to avoid burn injury. The watch can become particularly hot when exposed to the following conditions for long periods.

  • On the dashboard of a car parked in direct sunlight
  • Too close to the incandescent l.amp
  • Under direct sunlight

Important!

  • Allowing the watch to become very hot can cause the digital displays to black out. The appearance of the LCD should become normal again when the watch returns to a lower temperature.
  • Turn on the watch's Power Saving function (page E-19) and keep it in an area normally exposed to bright light when storing it for long periods. This helps to ensure that power does not run down.
  • Storing the watch for long periods in an area where there is no light or wearing it in such a way that it is blocked from exposure to light can cause power to run down. Expose the watch to bright light whenever possible.

Power level

You can get an idea of ​​the watch's power level by observing the battery power indicator in the lower digital dial.

CASIO-5581-Analog-Watch-fig-5
CASIO-5581-Analog-Watch-fig-6
  • The flashing LOW message at Level 3 (L) tells you that battery power is very low, and that exposure to bright light for charging is required as soon as possible.
  • At Level 5, all functions are disabled and settings return to their initial factory defaults. Once the battery reaches Level 2 (M) after falling to Level 5, reconfigure the current time, date, and other settings.
  • Display indicators reappear as soon as the battery is charged from Level 5 to Level 2 (M).
  • If you expose your watch to direct sunlight or other very strong light sources, the battery power indicator may temporarily show a higher number than the actual battery level remaining. After a few minutes, the correct battery level should be displayed.
  • When the battery power drops to level 5 and the battery is replaced, the current time and all other settings will revert to the initial factory defaults.

Power Recovery Mode

  • Performing multiple illumination, beeper, and/or high-speed hand movement operation during a short period may cause all of the battery power indicators (H, M, and L) to start flashing in the lower digital dial. This indicates that the watch is in the power recovery mode. Illumination, alarm, countdown timer alarm, and hourly time signal operations will be disabled until battery power recovers.
  • Battery power will recover in about 15 minutes. At this time, the battery power indicators (H, M, L) will stop flashing. This indicates that the functions listed above are enabled again.
  • If all of the battery power indicators (H, M, L) are flashing and the CHG (charge) message also is flashing, it means the battery level is very low. Expose the watch to bright light as soon as possible.
  • Frequent flashing of all of the battery power indicators (H, M, L) probably means that remaining battery power is low. Leave the watch in bright light to allow it to charge.

About the Auto Light Switch

CASIO-5581-Analog-Watch-fig-31

When the auto light switch is turned on, the light will turn on whenever you position your wrist as described below in any mode. The light will turn on when you move the watch to a position parallel to the ground and then tilt it more than 40 degrees towards you.

Warning!

  • Always make sure you are in a safe place whenever you are reading the face of the watch using the auto light switch. Be especially careful when running or engaged in any other activity that can result in accident or injury. Also take care that sudden illumination by the auto light switch does not startle or distract others around you.
  • When you are wearing the watch, make sure that its auto light switch is turned off before riding on a bicycle or operating a motorcycle or any other motor vehicle. Sudden and unintended operation of the auto light switch can create a distraction, which can result in a traffic accident and serious personal injury.

Note:  This watch features a “Full Auto Light”, so the auto light switch operates only when available light is below a certain level. It does not illuminate the display under bright light.

To turn the auto light switch on and off

In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down B for about three seconds to toggle the auto light switch on (indicator displayed in the right digital dial) and off (indicator not displayed).

CASIO-5581-Analog-Watch-fig-32
  • The auto light switch on indicator appears in all modeswhile the auto light switch is turned on.
  • The auto light switch turns off automatically whenever battery power drops to Level 4.

Illumination Precautions

  • LED panel that provides illumination loses power after very long use.
  • Lighting can be difficult to see when viewing under direct sunlight.
  • The lights will automatically turn off whenever the alarm sounds.
  • Frequent use of the light will drain the battery.

Auto light switch precautions

  • Wearing the watch on the inside of your wrist, movement of your arm, or vibration of your arm can cause frequent activation of the auto light switch and illumination of the face. To avoid running down the battery, turn off the auto light switch whenever engaging in activities that might cause frequent illumination of the face.
  • Note that wearing the watch under your sleeve while the auto light switch is turned on can cause frequent illumination of the face and can run down the battery.

    CASIO-5581-Analog-Watch-fig-33
  • The light may not turn on if the watch face is more than 15 degrees above or below parallel. Make sure the back of your hand is parallel to the ground.
  • Illumination turns off after the preset illumination duration, even if you keep the watch pointed towards your face.
  • Static electricity or magnetic force can interfere with proper operation of the auto light switch. If illumination does not turn on, try moving the watch back to the starting position (parallel with the ground) and then tilt it back towards your face again. If this does not work, drop your arm all the way down so it hangs at your side, and then bring it back up again.
  • When you rock the watch back and forth, you may notice a very faint clicking sound. This sound is caused by the mechanical operation of the automatic light switch and does not indicate a problem with the watch.

 Hand Home Position Adjustment

Strong magnetism or impact can cause the hands of the watch to be off.
In time display mode, if the analog time and digital time are the same, no home position adjustment is required.

To adjust home positions manually

  1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down A and keep it depressed for about five seconds until H.SET appears in the right digital dial.
    • The hour and minute hands should all move to 12 o'clock, which is their home position.
    • Though ADJ will appear in the right digital dial about two seconds after you hold down A, do not release the button yet. Keep it depressed until H.SET appears. When H.SET appears in the right digital dial, release the A button. This will cause the hour and minute hands to move to 12 o'clock.
    • The watch will return to regular timekeeping automatically if you do not perform any operation for about two or three minutes. Any changes you have made to settings up to that point will be saved. If the hour and minute hands are all at 12 o'clock, which is their home position, jump to step 3.
  2. Use D (+) and B (–) to adjust the hour and minute hand positions.
    • Holding down either button will cause the hand to move at high speed. Once started, high-speed hand movement will continue even if you release the button. To stop high-speed hand movement, press any button.
    • High-speed hand movement started with the D (+) button will stop automatically after 12 revolutions of the minute hand. If started with the B (–) button, it will stop after one revolution of the minute hand.
  3. Press A to exit home position correction and return to regular timekeeping.

Note:  After performing home position adjustment, enter the Timekeeping Mode and check to make sure that the analog hands and the digital dial indicate the same time. If they do not, perform home position adjustment again.

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.
  • The hands are off. 
    • 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.
  • The analog hands are not indicating the correct time.
    • If the HANDS indicator is displayed on the right digital dial, it means that the analog hands have been moved for easier viewing of the digital dials. Hold down C for about four seconds to return to the Timekeeping Mode.

World Time Mode

  • The time in my world time city is turned off in 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.

Charging

  • The watch does not resume operation after I expose it to light.
    • This can happen after the power level drops to Level 5. Continue exposing the watch to light until the battery power indicator shows H or M.
