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

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. 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 

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.
