Casio 3061 Illumination, Power Supply, Charging Precautions, Battery Power Indicator and Recover Indicator, About the Auto Light Switch

• The flashes on the display in the Timekeeping Mode when battery is at Level 3.

• The at Level 3 and the flashing charge indicator (CHG) at Level 4 tell you that battery power is very low, and that exposure to bright light for charging is required as soon as possible.

• At Level 5, all functions are disabled and settings return to their initial factory defaults. Functions are enabled once again after the rechargeable battery is charged, but you need to set the time and date, after the battery reaches Level 4 (indicated by the flashing charge indicator (CHG)) from Level 5. You will not be able to configure any of the other settings until the battery reaches Level 3 (no charge indicator) after dropping to Level 5.

• Leaving the watch in direct sunlight or some other very strong light source can cause the battery power indicator to show a reading that is momentarily higher than the actual battery level. The correct battery power indicator should appear after a few minutes.

• If you use the illumination or alarms a number of times during a short period, the charge indicator (CHG) flashes and the following operations become disabled until battery power recovers.

After some time, battery power will recover and the charge indicator (CHG) will disappear, indicating that the above functions are enabled again.

Charging Precautions

Certain charging conditions can cause the watch to become very hot. Avoid leaving the watch in the areas described below whenever charging its rechargeable battery. Also note that allowing the watch to become very hot can cause its liquid crystal display to black out. The appearance of the LCD should become normal again when the watch returns to a lower temperature.

Warning!

Leaving the watch in bright light to charge its rechargeable battery can cause it to become quite hot. Take care when handling the watch to avoid burn injury. The watch can become particularly hot when exposed to the following conditions for long periods.

• On the dashboard of a car parked in direct sunlight

• Too close to an incandescent lamp

• Under direct sunlight

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 only partially covered.

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 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.

About the Auto Light Switch

Turning on the auto light switch causes illumination to turn on whenever you position your wrist as described below in any mode. Note that this watch features a “Full Auto EL Light,” so the auto light switch operates only when available light is below a certain level. It does not illuminate the display under bright light.

Moving the watch to a position that is parallel to the ground and then tilting it towards you at more than 40 degrees causes illumination to turn on.

•Wear the watch on the outside of your wrist.

Parallel to	More than
ground	40°

Warning!

•Always make sure you are in a safe place whenever you are reading the watch using the auto light switch. Be especially careful when running or engaged in any other activity that can result in accident or injury. Also take care that sudden illumination by the auto light switch does not startle or distract others around you.

•When you are wearing the watch, make sure that its auto light switch is turned off before riding on a bicycle, or operating a motorcycle or any other motor vehicle. Sudden and unintended operation of the auto light switch can create a distraction, which can result in a traffic accident and serious personal injury.

To turn the auto light switch on and off

In Timekeeping mode (except when a setting screen is on the display), hold down L for about three seconds to toggle the auto light switch on (auto light switch indicator displayed) and off (auto light switch indicator not displayed).

•The auto light switch indicator remains in all modes while the auto light switch is turned on.
