[Sleep Mode]

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 storage battery pow-
er to run down. Be sure that the watch is normally exposed to light whenever possi-
ble.

• This watch employs a solar cell that converts light into electricity that charges a

built-in storage battery. Normally, the storage battery should not need replacement,
but after very long use over a number of years, the storage battery may lose its
ability to achieve a full charge. Should you notice problems with getting the storage
battery to a full charge, contact your dealer or CASIO distributor about having the
storage battery replaced.

• The storage battery should be replaced with a CASIO-specified, ML-2020 battery

only. Other storage batteries can cause damage to the watch.

• Be sure to put the watch into its Sleep Mode and keep in an area normally exposed

to light when storing it for long periods. This helps to keep the storage battery from
going dead.

Battery Power Indicator

The battery power indicator on the display shows you the current status of the stor-
age battery's power.

• At Level 4, the display is disabled but timekeeping and other functions continue to

operate internally. Pressing any button causes the Timekeeping Mode screen to
appear for two or three minutes.

• At Level 5, all functions are disabled. Functions are enabled once again after the

storage battery is charged, but anything previously stored in memory is lost. Be-
cause of this, you must set the current time and alarms, and re-input point data
after the storage battery is charged.

• Leaving the watch under strong direct sunlight to charge can cause the battery

indicator to show a battery capacity reading that is higher than the actual level.
Check the level after leaving the watch in an area out of the sun for a few minutes.

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 storage battery.

Warning!
Leaving the watch in sunlight to charge its storage battery can cause it to be-
come quite hot. Take care when handling the watch to avoid burn injury.
Avoid charging the battery in the high temperature conditions described be-
low.
• On the dashboard of a car parked in direct sunlight.
• Too close to an incandescent lamp.
• Under direct sunlight or in any other area exposed to intense heat for long periods.
