 The watch will start to work within about three seconds after it is exposed to light 

 

x

(such as indoor fl uorescent lighting). Set the time and calendar at this time.
 Charge indicator “

 

x

” appears on the display when the capacitor charge level is low.

 If you continue to use the watch without exposing it to light after “

 

x

” appear, the 

watch will stop functioning after about three days.
 Take steps to charge the watch’s capacitor as soon as possible after “

 

x

” appears. 

See “Recovery Times” (page E-21) for details.
 The daily alarm, Hourly Time Signal, and other tones will not sound while “

 

x

” is on 

the display. Also, display fi gures may become dim.

 Storing the watch for long periods in an area where there is no light or wearing it in 

 

x

such a way that it is blocked from exposure to light can cause capacitor power to run 
down. Make sure that the watch is exposed to bright light whenever possible.
 This watch uses a special capacitor to store power produced by the solar cell, so 

 

x

regular capacitor replacement is not required. However, after very long use, the 
capacitor may lose its ability to achieve a full charge. If you experience problems 
getting the capacitor to charge fully, contact your dealer or CASIO distributor about 
having it replaced.
 Never try to remove or replace the watch’s capacitor yourself. Use of the wrong type 

 

x

of capacitor can damage the watch.

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 capacitor. Also note 
that allowing the watch to become very hot can cause its liquid crystal display to black 
out. The appearance of the LCD should become normal again when the watch returns 
to a lower temperature.

This watch works by light energy, so no battery is necessary. Light energy is 
converted into electric energy by the solar cell and stored by the capacitor. 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.

 The illustration shows how to position 

 

x

a watch with a resin band.
 Note that charging effi ciency drops 

 

x

when any part of the solar cell is 
blocked by clothing, etc.
 You should try to keep the watch 

 

x

outside of your sleeve as much 
as possible. Charging is reduced 
signifi cantly if the face is only partially 
covered.
