Power Supply
This watch is equipped with a solar panel and a special rechargeable battery
(secondary battery) that is charged by the electrical power produced by the solar
panel. 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 panel 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.

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
panel, 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.
• The special rechargeable (secondary) battery used by your watch is not intended to
be removed or replaced by you. Use of a rechargeable battery other than the special
one specified for this watch can damage the watch.
• The current time and all other settings return to their initial factory defaults whenever
the watch is left uncharged for about one week after 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.

• When battery power is at Level 2, time calibration signal reception is disabled.
• When power drops to Level 3, all functions will be disabled but the watch will
continue to keep time internally for about one week. If you recharge the battery
sufficiently during this period, the analog hands will move automatically to the
correct setting and normal timekeeping will resume. If the watch is left uncharged for
about one week after battery power drops to Level 3, the current time and all other
settings return to their initial factory defaults.
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.
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
