Getting Acquainted
Congratulations upon your selection of this CASIO watch. To get the most out of your
purchase, be sure to carefully read this manual and keep it on hand for later reference
when necessary.
Expose the watch to bright light to charge its battery before using it.
You can use this watch even as its battery is being charged by exposure to bright
light.
• Be sure to read "Battery" of this manual for important information you
need to know when exposing the watch to bright light.
If the display of the watch is blank...
If the Power Saving on (P.SAVE) indicator flashes on
the display, it means that the display is blank because
the watch's Power Saving function has turned off
the display to conserve power. Power Saving
automatically turns off the display and puts the watch
into a sleep state whenever your watch is left for a
certain period where it is dark.
• The initial factory default setting is Power Saving on.
• The watch recovers from the sleep state if you move it
to a well-lit area, if you press any button, or if you
angle the watch towards your face for reading.
• See "Power Saving Function" for more
information.
