Example: Orient the watch so its face

is pointing at a light source.	Solar cell
• 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!

Seconds	second
		• The display range of the stopwatch is 99 minutes, 59.99
		seconds.
		• The 1/100-second value appears while the elapsed time

•The stopwatch continues to run, restarting from zero after it reaches its limit, until you stop it.

•Exiting the Stopwatch Mode while a split time is frozen on the display clears the split time and returns to elapsed time measurement.

•The stopwatch measurement operation continues even if you exit the Stopwatch Mode.

•All of the operations in this section are performed in the Stopwatch Mode, which you enter by pressing C.

•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 4 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.

To check the current battery level

In the Timekeeping Mode, press Conce to display the battery level indicator.

•The battery level indicator shows the battery level either as HI (Level 1) or MID (Level 2).

•If the battery level drops below Level 2 (MID), a charge soon alert (Level 3) is displayed in all modes.
