INPUTTING TEXT

The following describes how to input text in the Contact Code Mode, Mission
Code Mode, Morse Code Mode, and Vital Statistics/ID Mode.

How to input characters

1. When the cursor is blinking in the text area of

the display, use

B

and

C

to scroll through the

available letters, numbers and symbols, in the
following sequence.

Holding down either button scrolls through at high speed.

You can input Japanese phonetic characters (

katakana), alphabetical

characters, numbers, and symbols in the text area. For a complete list of
characters you can input, see the “CHARACTER LIST” at the back of this
manual.

2. When the character you want at the cursor position is shown, press

M

to

move the cursor to the right.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until your text is complete.

You can input only hyphens, numbers and spaces in the number area. Each
press of

B

or

C

changes the input at the current cursor location in the

following sequence.

If you do not perform any button operation for about two or three minutes
while the cursor is on the display, the watch automatically returns to the
normal data display (the cursor disappears).

ABOUT THE LOW BATTERY WARNING

The message BATT flashes on the display
whenever the battery power is low. Have the
battery of the watch replaced as soon as possible
after this message appears. Using the watch while
the battery is low can result in abnormal operation.

Important!

In order to protect data stored in memory, you will not be able to recall
existing data or input new data while the BATT message is flashing on the
display. Also, the alarm, hourly time signal, backlight, and other functions
do not operate.

Low battery power can cause time keeping to fall behind, and it can cause
the display to become difficult to read, or to clear completely.

ALWAYS LEAVE BATTERY REPLACEMENT UP TO THE DEALER
WHERE YOU BOUGHT THE WATCH OR TO AN AUTHORIZED CASIO
DISTRIBUTOR. BE SURE TO SHOW THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION
TO THE PERSON REPLACING THE BATTERY.

Attention dealer or CASIO distributor

Be sure to use the following procedure when replacing the battery.
1. Open and remove the back cover.

If

CLOSE

appears on the display when you open the back cover, replace

the back cover. Wait for a few minutes and try again.

2. Remove the battery holder.
3. Remove the old battery and load a new one.
4. Replace the battery holder.
5. Touch the AC contact and the battery (+) side with metallic tweezers.
6. Close the back cover.

The message

WAIT

appears on the display about 15 seconds after you

perform the AC (all clear) operation in step 5 of the above procedure,
indicating that the watch is performing an internal self-check for data errors.

The

WAIT

indicator remains on the display for a few minutes while the

watch performs an internal check of data in memory. Though you can
change the time setting of the watch while the

WAIT

indicator is on the

display, other operations are disabled.

To test the alarm

Hold down

B

while in the Alarm Mode to sound the alarm.
