The Casio Waveceptor 4303 is a self-adjusting radio-controlled wristwatch that keeps time by receiving the continuously broadcast atomic time signal from the National Institute of Standards and Technology research station in Fort Collins, Colorado. When the battery in your Casio Waveceptor dies, you can complete the battery replacement process at home in just minutes.

Arrange everything that you need for the battery replacement process on a clean, flat surface near a source of bright natural or artificial light. Place a soft optical cloth or neoprene mouse pad on the work surface to protect the finish of the watch from being scratched.

Place your Waveceptor watch facedown on the padded work surface. Note the positioning of the notches on the back of the watch case; move the tips of a watch case opening tool to align with the notches.

Hold the watch facedown in the palm of your hand. Place the tips of the watch case opening tool into the corresponding notches on the back of the watch case. Twist the nut at the bottom of the tool to tighten its grip on the watch.
