Setup

Initial Time Setting and Radio Control

Your watch is equipped with a Wave Ceptor (radio-controlled) function, which automatically receives time calibration signals to maintain accurate time. The watch supports signals from Europe, USA, and Japan.

1. Automatic Reception: The watch attempts to receive the time calibration signal automatically several times a day. Ensure the watch is placed near a window or in an open area overnight for best reception. Avoid placing it near electronic devices that may cause interference.
2. Manual Reception: To manually initiate signal reception, hold down the FORWARD button in Timekeeping Mode until the reception indicator starts flashing. The watch will attempt to receive the signal. This process can take several minutes.
3. Home City Setting: Before using the radio control feature, ensure your Home City (time zone) is correctly set. In Timekeeping Mode, hold down the ADJUST button until the city code starts flashing. Use the FORWARD/REVERSE buttons to select your desired city code. Press ADJUST to confirm.
4. Daylight Saving Time (DST): After setting your Home City, you can enable or disable DST. While the city code is flashing, press the MODE button to cycle to the DST setting. Use the FORWARD/REVERSE buttons to toggle between ON and OFF. Press ADJUST to confirm.

Basic Time and Date Adjustment (Manual)

If signal reception is not possible, you can manually set the time and date.

1. In Timekeeping Mode, hold down the ADJUST button until the city code starts flashing.
2. Press the MODE button repeatedly to cycle through the settings: City Code → DST → 12/24-Hour Format → Seconds → Hour → Minute → Year → Month → Day.
3. Use the FORWARD/REVERSE buttons to change the flashing value.
4. Once all settings are correct, press the ADJUST button to exit the setting mode.

Operating Modes

Press the MODE button to navigate between the following modes:

• Timekeeping Mode: Displays the current time, date, and day of the week. This is the default mode.
• World Time Mode: Allows you to view the current time in 48 cities (29 time zones) around the world. Use the FORWARD/REVERSE buttons to scroll through city codes.
• Alarm Mode: Set up to five daily alarms and an hourly time signal. To set an alarm, navigate to Alarm Mode, hold ADJUST, then use MODE and FORWARD/REVERSE to set the alarm time.
• Stopwatch Mode: Measures elapsed time, split times, and two finishes. Press the FORWARD button to start/stop, and ADJUST to reset.
• Countdown Timer Mode: Functions as a countdown timer. To set, navigate to Countdown Timer Mode, hold ADJUST, then use MODE and FORWARD/REVERSE to set the start time. Press FORWARD to start/stop.

Maintenance

Water Resistance

Your Casio WV-59R-1AEF watch is rated for WR5BAR (50 meters) water resistance. This means it is suitable for showering, swimming in shallow water, and general daily use involving water exposure. It is not suitable for diving, snorkeling, or operating buttons underwater.

Cleaning

To clean your watch, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a soft cloth dampened with water and a mild neutral detergent, then wipe dry. Avoid using volatile agents like thinner or benzine, as they may damage the resin components.

Battery Replacement

The watch is powered by a Lithium-metal battery. When the display becomes dim or functions become erratic, it may be time for a battery replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by an authorized Casio service center to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.

Storage

When storing the watch for extended periods, keep it in a dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and strong magnetic fields.

Troubleshooting

• Incorrect Time/Date: Ensure your Home City setting is correct. If the radio signal reception is poor, try manual reception or manually set the time. Check for strong magnetic fields or electronic interference.
• No Signal Reception: Move to an open area, preferably near a window, and try manual reception. Avoid areas with thick concrete walls or large metal structures.
• Display is Blank or Dim: The battery may be low. Consider battery replacement.
• Buttons Not Responding: Ensure the watch is not in a frozen state due to extreme cold. If the issue persists, a battery reset or professional inspection may be required.
