Charging - Casio 5673 Operation Manual

Charging

This watch runs on power supplied from a
rechargeable (secondary) battery that is
charged by a solar panel. The solar panel is
integrated into the face of the watch, and
power is generated whenever the face is
exposed to light.
Charging the Watch
●
When you are not wearing the watch, put it in
a location where it is exposed to bright light.
While you are wearing the watch, make sure
that its face (solar panel) is not blocked from
light by the sleeve of your clothing. Power
generation efficiency is reduced even when
the face of the watch is blocked only partially.
YES NO
Important!
Depending on light intensity and local
●
conditions, the watch may become hot
to the touch when exposed to light for
charging. Take care to avoid burn
injury after charging. Also, avoid
charging the watch under high-
temperature conditions like the ones
described below.
On the dashboard of a vehicle
ー
parked in the sun
Near an incandescent light bulb or
ー
other source of heat
Under direct sunlight or in other hot
ー

The display panel may become black
●
(or white, depending on the LCD type)
under very high temperatures. This is
temporary, and the display will return
to normal at lower temperatures.
