Illumination
An LED (light-emitting diode) illuminates the face of the
watch for easy reading in the dark. The watch’s auto light
switch automatically illuminates the face when you angle
the watch towards your face.
•
The auto light switch must be turned on for it to operate.
•
See “Illumination Precautions” for other important
information.
To illuminate the face of the watch
In the Timekeeping Mode (except for the setting mode),
press
A
to illuminate the face of the watch about for 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 the face to illuminate about for one second,
whenever you position your wrist as described below in any mode. Note that this
watch features a “Full Auto LED Light”, so the auto light switch operates only when
available light is below a certain level. It does not illuminate the face 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
ground
More than
40°
Warning!
•
Always make sure you are in a safe place whenever you are reading the face
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.
To turn the auto light switch on and off
In the Receive Result Mode, hold down
A
for about three seconds to toggle the auto
light switch on and off.
•
You can check the current auto light switch on/off setting by pressing
A
while in the
Receive Result Mode. If the face of the watch illuminates when you press
A
, it
means that the auto light switch is on. The auto light switch is off if the face does not
illuminated when you press
A
.
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. Even if the face of the watch
is blocked from light only partially,
charging will be reduced significantly.
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 3 and when you have the battery replaced.
•
Keep the watch in an area normally exposed to bright light when storing it for long
periods. This helps to keep the rechargeable battery from going dead.

The movement of the analog hands indicates the current battery power level.
