Illumination

The watch has an EL (electro-luminescent) panel that causes the entire display to glow for easy reading in the dark.

• See “Illumination Precautions” for other important information.

Power Supply

This watch is equipped with a solar cell and a special rechargeable battery (secondary battery) that is charged by the electrical power produced by the solar cell. The illustration shown below shows how you should position the watch for charging.

Example: Orient the watch so its face	Solar cell
is pointing at a light source.

•The illustration shows how to position a watch with a resin band.

•Note that charging efficiency drops

when any part of the solar cell is blocked by clothing, etc.

•You should try to keep the watch outside of your sleeve as much as

possible. Charging is reduced significantly if the face is covered even partially.

Important!

•Storing the watch for long periods in an area where there is no light or wearing it in such a way that it is blocked from exposure to light can cause rechargeable battery power to run down. Make sure that the watch is exposed normally to bright light whenever possible.

•This watch uses a special rechargeable battery to store power produced by the solar cell, so regular battery replacement is not required. However, after very long use, the rechargeable battery may lose its ability to achieve a full charge. If you experience problems getting the special rechargeable battery to charge fully, contact your dealer or CASIO distributor about having it replaced.

•Never try to remove or replace the watch’s special battery yourself. Use of the wrong type of battery can damage the watch.

•The current time and all other settings return to their initial factory defaults whenever battery power drops to Level 5 and when you have the battery replaced.

•Turn on the watch’s Power Saving function and keep it in an area normally exposed to bright light when storing it for long periods. This helps to keep the rechargeable battery from going dead.
