GPS + Multi Band 6
Accuracy anytime, in any location
Besides receiving terrestrial radio waves from all the world's six terrestrial transmission stations, CASIO's hybrid watches can acquire positioning and time information from GPS satellites and obtain the correct time at the current location with the push of a button anywhere in the world.
Timepiece practicability has advanced to encompass the entire globe, while retaining the radio-controlled watch's reliable indoor time-calibration signal reception. CASIO'S proprietary hybrid technology enables accurate time reception no matter where the user is located.
GPS satellite signal reception
- — Obtains positioning and time information for the current location from GPS satellites.
- — Determines the location's Summer Time status and displays the correct time automatically.
- — Connects with GPS satellites with a push of a button (hold down 3 seconds) and receives time data within 7 seconds (minimum) from the satellites.
Original GPS algorithm
Upon reception of positioning information, the watch employs high-resolution map data that divides the earth's surface into a grid comprising 2.6 billion cells to determine its current location with high accuracy of approximately 500m. This provides users with access to more accurate time information, including time zone and Summer Time information, even when they cross from one time zone to another.
Terrestrial radio wave reception (Multi Band 6)
- — Capable of radio wave reception both indoors* and out.
*In locations such as the vicinity of windows with good radio wave reception. - — Automatic night-time radio wave reception minimises the possibility of reception failures in order to maintain accurate time indication.
- — Terrestrial radio wave reception consumes less battery power than GPS signal reception.
Multi Band 6
Watches equipped with Multi Band 6 receive radio waves carrying time-calibration signals from six transmission stations around the world. They use the signals to correct the time automatically in Japan, North America, UK, Europe and China.

The information below is offered in an attempt to be helpful. There is noguarantee that the instructions will apply in your case. I have merely reportedwhat seems to work for us (until the watch next goes wrong).
You use these instructions at your own risk.
If in doubt compare these instructions with the instructions provided with yourwatch.
But beware of the error found in our printed instructions mentionedbelow.

Faults and instructions
Our experience is with the first of these two models, but it seems from Amazonreviews that exactly the same faults are experienced by a significant subset ofpurchasors of the second model, with metal strap.

Like many of the Amazon customers who have written reviews of this watch my wifehas tried two of them and had serious problems: after working perfectly forabout two years, each watch started re-setting the time and date to January2005.
Another problem is the inadequacy of the instructions -- minute and barelyreadable, but even worse: there's a missing step, explained below. This can leadto time-wasting mistakes when setting the casio watch.
So beware of these watches, unless you are willingto take risks with your money, and spend time re-setting after faults.
To help those whose watches need re-setting, I've given instructions below forsetting time and various other features (but not all) and for turning radio modeon or off -- with the missing instruction added (and indicated).
For a while after the fault appeared, the watch worked well enough with radioreception turned off, as an ordinary non-radio-controlled digital watch.
But after being used in non-radio mode for some time (a few months I think) itstarted re-setting to 2005 every now and again.
After the first one did that we bought a new one, hoping we were simply unluckywith a faulty specimen.
Like the first one, the new watch worked fine until some time after theguarantee period then also started re-setting itself. Again, turning off theradio controlled mode only partially fixed this problem.
So my wife keeps both watches handy, and when one goes back to 2005, switches tothe other, and then when she has time re-sets the errant one to current time.
We shall shortly attempt to find a radio controlled watch with an equally goodwatch face but greater reliability.
SETTING INSTRUCTIONS FOLLOW.
NOTE: the instructions refer to buttons A, B, C, D, in this layout.Contents:
A: TO SET TIME MANUALLY
B: TO TURN AUTO RECEIVE OFF:
Hold A down until City code flashes (bottom left).
If city is not London (Lon) use button B or D (both on right)
to cycle through city codes. B moves west, D moves East.
Madrid (MAD) is east of London so press B,
Lisbon (LIS) is west of London, so press D.

When LON is set (flashing), you can then cycle through the following operations,setting states using button C, and using buttons B and D to alter each state.(B and D make changes in opposite directions.)When you get back to City (LON flashing) press A to exit to normal mode:
So: hold A (top left) for a while to get city flashing then cycle through thesemodes by pressing button C (bottom left)In each of those setting modes:
When a state is set as desired press C to go to next setting mode.
When you get back to City, press A to exit setting mode.
You can also press A to exit to normal mode at an earlier state.
E.g. if you just want to toggle 12/24 hour format press A aftersetting the mode.
B: TO TURN AUTO RECEIVE OFF:
In standard timekeeping modeNB
[The printed instructions leave out the last 'D' bit wasting a LOT of my time!]
In normal mode, pressing C cycles you through these modes:
