Casio QW3148 RISEMAN - Operation Guide

This document provides an overview and instructions for using a CASIO watch that measures barometric pressure, temperature, and altitude. It has the following key points: 1) The watch uses a solar cell and rechargeable battery. Exposure to bright light charges the battery, while leaving it in the dark causes the battery to discharge. 2) Measurement functions are intended for reasonable representations, not professional precision. CASIO assumes no liability for any loss or third party claims from using these functions. 3) Buttons allow navigating between timekeeping, altimeter, barometer/thermometer, world time, stopwatch, countdown timer, alarm, and data recall modes.

About Barometric and Temperature Measurements


• Barometric pressure and temperature measurement operations are
performed as soon as you enter the Barometer/Thermometer Mode. After
that, barometric pressure and temperature measurements are taken every
five seconds.
• During barometric pressure measurements, the watch may not be able to
update its timekeeping display contents normally. Correct timekeeping is
maintained internally, however.
