Illumination
The watch has an EL (electro-luminescent) panel that
causes the entire display to glow for easy reading in the
dark.
See Illumination Precautions for other important
information.

You can specify 1.5 seconds or 2.5 seconds as the

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 covered even
partially.
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 normally 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 watchs 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 watchs 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.

The LOW indicator flashes on the display in the Timekeeping Mode when battery is
at Level 2.
The LOW indicator at Level 2 and the flashing charge indicator (CHG) at Level 3 tell
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 3
(indicated by the flashing charge indicator) from Level 4. You will not be able to
configure any of the other settings until the battery reaches Level 1 after dropping to
Level 4.
If you use the light or alarms a number of times during a short period, the recover
indicator (RECOV) appears and the following operations become disabled until
battery power recovers.

Time calibration signal reception
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
