Backlight
The backlight uses an EL (electro-luminescent) panel that
causes the entire display to glow for easy reading in the
dark. The watchs auto light switch automatically turns on
the backlight when you angle the watch towards your face.
The auto light switch must be turned on (indicated by
the auto light switch on indicator) for it to operate.
See Backlight Precautions for other important
information about using the backlight.
To turn on the backlight manually
In any mode, press B to illuminate the display for about
one second.
The above operation turns on the backlight regardless of
the current auto light switch setting.

About the Auto Light Switch
Turning on the auto light switch causes the backlight to turn on for about one second,
whenever you position your wrist as described below in any mode.
Moving the watch to a position that is parallel to the ground and then tilting it
towards you more than 40 degrees causes the backlight to turn on.

More than
40°
Warning!
Always make sure you are in a safe place whenever you are reading the
display 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
surprise 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 Timekeeping Mode, hold down D for about two seconds to toggle the auto light
switch on (AUTO EL displayed) and off (AUTO EL not displayed).
The auto light switch on indicator (AUTO EL) is on the display in all modes while the
auto light switch is turned on.
Battery
This watch is equipped with a solar cell and a 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.
Note that charging efficiency
drops when any part of the solar
cell is blocked by clothing, etc.
The illustration shows how to
position a watch with a resin band.
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. Be sure that the watch is normally exposed to bright light
whenever possible.
Solar cell
This watch employs a solar cell that converts light into electricity, which charges a
built-in rechargeable battery. Normally, the rechargeable battery should not need
replacement, but after very long use over a number of years, the rechargeable
battery may lose its ability to achieve a full charge. Should you notice problems with
getting the rechargeable battery to a full charge, contact your dealer or CASIO
distributor about having the rechargeable battery replaced.
The rechargeable battery should be replaced with a CASIO-specified CTL1616
battery only. Other rechargeable batteries can cause damage to the watch.
All data stored in memory is deleted, and the current time and all other settings
return to their initial factory defaults whenever battery power drops to Level 5 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.
Battery Power Indicator
The battery power indicator on the display shows you the current status of the
rechargeable batterys power.

At Level 5, 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, date, and all other settings after the battery is recharged to
Level 3 from Level 5. Though the time appears on the display after the battery is
charged to Level 4, you will not be able to change the time setting until the battery
reaches Level 3.
Leaving the watch in direct sunlight or some other very strong light source can cause
the battery power indicator to temporarily show a reading that is higher than the
actual battery level. The correct battery power indicator should appear after a few
minutes.
If you use the backlight or any of the alarm functions a number of times during a
short period, RECOVER appears on the display and the following operations become
disabled until battery power recovers.

Beeper tone
After some time, battery power will recover and RECOVER will disappear, indicating
that the above functions are enabled again.
