that causes the entire display to glow for easy
reading in the dark. The watch’s auto light switch
illuminates the display automatically when you
angle the watch towards your face.
•
The auto light switch must be turned on
(indicated by the auto light switch on indicator)
for it to operate.
•
See “Illumination Precautions” for other
important information.

To turn on illumination manually
Press
L
in any mode to illuminate the display for about one second.
•
The above operation turns on illumination regardless of the current auto
light switch setting.
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.
•
The auto light switch is always disabled, regardless of its on/off setting,
when any one of the following conditions exists.
While an alarm is sounding
During sensor measurement
While a bearing sensor calibration operation is being performed in the
Digital Compass Mode
While a receive operation is in progress in the Receive Mode
Moving the watch to a position that is parallel to the ground and then tilting
it towards you more than 40 degrees causes illumination to turn on.
•
Wear the watch on the outside of your wrist.
Warning!
•
Always make sure you are in a safe place whenever you are reading
the display of 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.

•
The auto light switch on indicator (
A. EL
) is on the display in all modes
while the auto light switch is turned on.
•
The auto light switch turns off automatically whenever battery power drops
to Level 4.
•
Watch illumination may not turn on right away if you raise the watch to your
face while a barometric pressure operation is in progress.
Power Supply
This watch is equipped with a solar cell and a 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 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.
Solar cell
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. Be 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.
•
All data stored in memory is deleted, and 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.
