Setup
Initial Charging (Tough Solar)
Your Casio Pro Trek watch is equipped with Tough Solar technology, which converts light into energy to power the watch. For optimal performance, ensure the watch is regularly exposed to light. Upon first use or after prolonged storage in darkness, place the watch in a brightly lit area to charge. Avoid extreme temperatures during charging.

Setting Your Home City and Daylight Saving Time (DST)
The watch's home city setting is crucial for accurate timekeeping and atomic time signal reception. The second hand will point to the currently configured home city code on the bezel.
- Unscrew the Crown: Gently unscrew the crown located on the right side of the watch until it releases. Then, pull it out to enter the setting mode. The digital display will show the current city code, and the second hand will point to the corresponding city on the bezel.
- Select Home City: Rotate the crown to cycle through the available city codes on the bezel. Align the second hand with your desired home city. The digital display will update to show the selected city code.
- Adjust Daylight Saving Time (DST): While in the home city setting mode, press the bottom-left button (Mode button). The digital display will show "DST". Rotate the crown to toggle DST between ON and OFF. Observe the hour hand adjusting forward or backward as you change the setting.
- Confirm Settings: Once your home city and DST settings are correct, push the crown back in and screw it down firmly to secure it and exit the setting mode.

Operating the Watch
Triple Sensor Technology
The PRW-6611Y-1CR features a Triple Sensor for environmental data measurement:
- Altimeter: Measures altitude based on atmospheric pressure. Useful for hiking and climbing.
- Barometer: Measures atmospheric pressure, which can indicate weather trends.
- Compass: Provides direction readings. The second hand often functions as the compass needle.
To access these functions, refer to the specific buttons labeled on the watch (e.g., ALTI, BARO, COMP). Pressing these buttons will activate the respective sensor mode, and readings will be displayed on the digital screen or indicated by the watch hands.

Multiband 6 Atomic Timekeeping
The watch automatically receives time calibration signals from six transmission stations worldwide (Japan, North America, UK, Germany, China) to ensure accurate timekeeping. This synchronization typically occurs overnight. Ensure the watch is in an open area for better signal reception.
Smart Access System
The Smart Access system allows quick and intuitive access to various watch functions using the electronic crown. Pulling out and rotating the crown, combined with button presses, navigates through modes and settings. Refer to the detailed online manual for specific operations for each mode (e.g., stopwatch, timer, world time, alarms).
Maintenance
Charging and Power Management
To maintain optimal power levels, expose the watch to light regularly. The watch has a power indicator on the digital display. If the power level is low, the watch may enter power-saving mode or some functions might be restricted. Avoid prolonged storage in dark places.
Water Resistance
The PRW-6611Y-1CR is water-resistant up to 100 meters. This makes it suitable for swimming and snorkeling, but not for scuba diving. Always ensure the crown is fully screwed down before exposing the watch to water to prevent water intrusion.

Troubleshooting
Time Synchronization Issues
- No Atomic Time Signal Reception: If the watch fails to synchronize with the atomic clock, ensure it is placed in an area with good signal reception, preferably near a window, overnight. Verify that your home city setting is correct for your region.
- Incorrect Time After DST Change: If the time is incorrect after a Daylight Saving Time change, manually adjust the DST setting as described in the "Setting Your Home City" section.
Sensor Calibration
The altimeter, barometer, and thermometer sensors may require occasional calibration for accurate readings, especially after significant changes in environment or altitude. Refer to the full online manual for detailed calibration procedures for each sensor.
Power Issues
If the watch is not functioning properly or the display is dim, it may be due to insufficient charge. Expose the watch to strong light for several hours to ensure it is fully charged. A full charge can take several hours depending on light intensity.
