Getting Acquainted
Congratulations upon your selection of this CASIO watch. To get the most out of your
purchase, be sure to carefully read this manual and keep it on hand for later reference
when necessary.
Expose the watch to bright light to charge its battery before using it.
You can use this watch even as its battery is being charged by exposure to bright
light.
•
Be sure to read “Battery” of this manual for important information you need to
know when exposing the watch to bright light.
If the display of the watch is blank...
If the Power Saving indicator (PS) is on the display (either
flashing or steady), it means that the display is blank
because the watch’s Power Saving function has turned it
off to conserve power. Power Saving automatically turns
off the display and enters a sleep state whenever your
watch is left for a certain period in an area where it is
dark.
•
The initial factory default setting is Power Saving on.
•
The watch will recover from the sleep state if you move it
to a well-lit area or if you press any button.
•
See “Power Saving Function” for more information.
