2. Precauzioni di sicurezza

• Resistenza all'acqua: The watch is water resistant to 100 meters (330 feet). It is suitable for swimming and snorkeling but not for scuba diving. Do not operate buttons underwater.
• Temperature estreme: Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, either hot or cold, for extended periods.
• Prodotti chimici: Keep the watch away from gasoline, cleaning solvents, aerosol sprays, adhesives, paints, and other chemicals. They may cause discoloration, deterioration, or damage to the resin case and band.
• Impatto: Avoid strong impacts or dropping the watch, as this may damage internal components.

3. Impostazione

3.1 Initial Charging (Tough Solar)

Your Casio PRW6600Y watch is powered by Tough Solar technology, which converts light into electrical energy. Before initial use, ensure the watch is fully charged by exposing it to bright light for several hours. The power indicator on the digital display will show the current charge level.

• Place the watch where its face is exposed to bright light.
• Avoid covering the watch face with clothing while wearing it, as this can prevent charging.
• The watch features a Power Saving Function that automatically enters a sleep state when left in the dark to conserve energy.

3.2 Time Setting (Atomic Timekeeping - Multi Band 6)

The watch automatically receives time calibration signals from six transmission stations around the world (Multi Band 6) to maintain accurate time. Manual time adjustment is generally not required if signal reception is successful.

1. Impostazione della città natale: Ensure your Home City is correctly set. In Timekeeping Mode, hold down the 'Adjust' button (usually top-left) until the city code flashes. Use the 'Forward' and 'Reverse' buttons (usually right side) to select your desired city.
2. Ricezione manuale: To manually attempt signal reception, in Timekeeping Mode, hold down the 'Receive' button (usually bottom-right) for a few seconds. The watch will display 'RC!' indicating reception is in progress.
3. Reception Status: Check the reception status (e.g., 'GET' for successful reception) to confirm the time has been synchronized.

3.3 Calibrazione del sensore

For accurate readings from the altimeter, barometer, and compass, occasional calibration may be necessary.

• Altimetro: Calibrate the altimeter by inputting a known altitude value (e.g., from a map or sign) when you are at that location.
• Bussola digitale: Perform a bidirectional calibration to ensure accurate magnetic north readings. Follow the instructions in the full manual for the specific calibration procedure.
• Termometro: For accurate temperature readings, remove the watch from your wrist for at least 20-30 minutes to allow it to acclimate to ambient air temperature, as body heat can affect readings.

4. Modalità operative e funzioni

6. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

• Ora errata: Ensure your Home City setting is correct and that the watch is receiving time calibration signals. Place the watch near a window overnight for better reception.
• Sensor Readings Inaccurate: Calibrate the altimeter, barometer, and compass as described in Section 3.3. Ensure the watch is level for compass readings and off the wrist for temperature readings.
• Orologio non in carica: Ensure the watch face is exposed to bright light. Check the power indicator. If the charge level is low, expose it to direct sunlight for several hours.
