alarm is turned on, the alarm tone sounds when the alarm
time is reached. You can also turn on an Hourly Time
Signal that causes the watch to beep twice every hour on
the hour.

Illumination
An LED (light-emitting diode) and a light guide panel
illuminate the digital display for easy reading in the dark.
•
See “Illumination Precautions” for other important
information.
To illuminate the display
In any mode, press
B
to illuminate the display.
•
You can specify 1.5 seconds or 2.5 seconds as the
illumination duration. See “To set the current digital time
and date manually” for more information.
Battery
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.
•
Normally, you should try to keep the
watch outside of your sleeve as much
as possible. Charging is significantly
reduced 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. Make sure that the watch is normally exposed to bright light
whenever possible.
•
Normally, the rechargeable battery should not need replacement, but after very long
use over a number of years, the rechargeable battery may lose its ability to achieve
a full charge. Should you notice problems with getting the rechargeable battery to a
full charge, contact your dealer or CASIO distributor about having it replaced.
•
The rechargeable battery should be replaced with a CASIO-specified CTL1616
battery only. Other rechargeable batteries can cause damage to 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 level 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
C
once 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.

•
The flashing charge indicator (
C
) at Level 3 tells you that battery power is very low,
and that exposure to bright light for charging is required as soon as possible.
•
At Level 4, 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 2
from Level 4.
•
Leaving the watch in direct sunlight or some other very strong light source can cause
the battery level indicator to temporarily show a reading that is higher than the actual
battery level. The correct battery level indicator should appear after a few minutes.
•
If you use the light or alarms a number of times during a
short period, the recover indicator (
R
) appears on the
display and the following operations become disabled
until battery power recovers.
Illumination
Beeper tone
Coordination between digital and analog timekeeping
Time calibration signal reception
Recover indicator
After some time, battery power will recover and the recover indicator 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
