Low Battery Power
x Low battery power is indicated by large timekeeping error, by dim display contents,
or by a blank display.
x Operation while battery power is low can result in malfunction. Replace the battery
as soon as possible.
E-85
x Have the battery replaced only with the type specified in the User’s Guide. Use of a
different battery type can cause malfunction.
x When replacing the battery, also request a check for proper water resistance.
x Ornamental resin components may become worn, cracked, or bent over time
when subjected to normal daily use. Note that if cracking or any other abnormality
indicating possible damage is noticed in a watch submitted for battery replacement,
your watch will be returned with an explanation of the abnormality, without the
requested servicing being performed.
Initial Battery
x The battery that comes loaded in your watch when you purchase it is used for
function and performance testing at the factory.
x The test battery may go dead quicker than the normally rated battery life as noted in
the User’s Guide. Note that you will be charged for replacement of this battery, even
if replacement is required within your watch’s warranty period.
E-84
x Even if the surface of the metal appears clean, sweat and rust in crevasses can
soil the sleeves of clothing, cause skin irritation, and even interfere with watch
performance.
Premature Wear
x Leaving sweat or water on a resin band or bezel, or storing your watch an area
subject to high moisture can lead to premature wear, cuts, and breaks.
Skin Irritation
x Individuals with sensitive skin or in poor physical condition may experience skin
irritation when wearing a watch. Such individuals should keep their leather band
or resin band particularly clean. Should you ever experience a rash or other skin
irritation, immediately remove your watch and contact a skin care professional.
Battery Replacement
x Leave battery replacement up to your original retailer or authorized CASIO service
center.
E-83
x Clean water and sweat from a leather band by wiping with a soft cloth.
x Not operating a watch crown, buttons, or rotary bezel could lead to later problems
with their operation. Periodically rotate the crown and rotary bezel, and press
buttons to maintain proper operation.
Dangers of Poor Watch Care
Rust
x Though the metal steel used for your watch is highly rust-resistant, rust can form if
your watch is not cleaned after it becomes dirty.
− Dirt on your watch can make it impossible for oxygen to come into contact with the
metal, which can lead to breakdown of the oxidization layer on the metal surface
and the formation of rust.
x Rust can cause sharp areas on metal components and can cause band pins to fly
out of position or to fall out. If you ever notice any abnormality immediately stop
using your watch and take it to your original retailer or to an authorized CASIO
service center.

User Maintenance
Caring for Your Watch
Remember that you wear your watch next to your skin, just like a piece of clothing.
To ensure your watch performs at the level for which it is designed, keep it clean by
frequently wiping with a soft cloth to keep your watch and band free of dirt, sweat, water
and other foreign matter.
x Whenever your watch is exposed to sea water or mud, rinse it off with clean fresh
water.
x For a metal band or a resin band with metal parts, use a soft toothbrush or similar
tool to scrub the band with a weak solution of water and a mild neutral detergent, or
with soapy water. Next, rinse with water to remove all remaining detergent and then
wipe dry with a soft absorbent cloth. When washing the band, wrap the watch case
with kitchen plastic wrap so it does not come into contact with the detergent or soap.
x For a resin band, wash with water and then wipe dry with a soft cloth. Note that
sometimes a smudge like pattern may appear on the surface of a resin band. This
will not have any effect on your skin or clothing. Wipe with a cloth to remove the
smudge pattern.
E-81
Watch with Data Memory
x Allowing the battery to go dead, replacing the battery, or having your watch repaired
can cause all data in watch memory to be lost. Note that CASIO COMPUTER CO.,
LTD. assumes no responsibility for any damages or losses caused by data lost due
to malfunction or repair of your watch, replacement of the battery, etc. Be sure to
keep separate written copies of all important data.
Watch Sensors
x A watch sensor is a precision instrument. Never try to take it apart. Never try to
insert any objects into the openings of a sensor, and take care to ensure that dirt,
dust, or other foreign matter does not get into it. After using your watch where it has
been immersed in saltwater, rinse it thoroughly with fresh water.
E-80
Bacteria and Odor Resistant Band
x The bacteria and odor resistant band protects against odor generated by the
formation of bacteria from sweat, which ensures comfort and hygiene. In order
to ensure maximum bacteria and odor resistance, keep the band clean. Use an
absorbent soft cloth to thoroughly wipe the band clean of dirt, sweat, and moisture.
A bacteria and odor resistant band suppresses the formation of organisms and
bacteria. It does not protect against rash due to allergic reaction, etc.
Liquid Crystal Display
x Display figures may be difficult to read when viewed from an angle.
