Unpacking As you unpack your electronic dictionary, check to make sure that

the following item is included with it.

One AA-size alkaline battery

Other accessories also may be included.

Battery Use only a battery included in the recommended battery list (page

77). Do not use a battery that is not included in the list. Battery

characteristics and a battery that does not match the speci cations of

the electronic dictionary may result in abnormal operation or failure to

achieve the speci ed operation between battery charges.

Your electronic dictionary does not come with a rechargeable battery

or a battery charger. If you want to use a rechargeable battery and

a battery charger, it is up to you to purchase them from a retailer,

wholesaler, or other source.

The charge of the original battery that comes with this electronic

dictionary is consumed somewhat as the product spends time in

transit, storage, etc. Because of this, the original battery may not

provide the full amount of operation noted in the speci cations (page

79).

Important Precautions Note the following important precautions whenever using your

electronic dictionary.

Never expose your electronic dictionary to re. Doing so can cause the

battery to explode, creating the risk of re and personal injury.

Avoid temperature extremes. Do not locate your electronic dictionary

in direct sunlight, near a window, near a heater, etc.

Under very low temperatures, display response may slow down or

fail entirely. This condition is temporary and operation should resume

under normal temperatures.

Avoid areas subject to excessive moisture, dirt, and dust.

Never subject your electronic dictionary to strong impact, bending, or

twisting, do not carry it in the pocket of your trousers, and do not keep

it together with hard objects inside of a bag or briefcase.

Never place heavy objects on the electronic dictionary. Doing so can

cause the object to fall off and create the chance of personal injury.

Never try to take your electronic dictionary apart.

Never use a pen, pencil, or other sharp object to press keys.

To clean the exterior, wipe your electronic dictionary with a soft cloth

dampened in a weak solution of a mild neutral detergent and water.

Be sure to wring out any excess moisture from the cloth before wiping.

Never use benzene, thinners, or any other volatile agent for cleaning.

Doing so can remove the gures printed on the case or otherwise

damage the nish of the case.

Should the electronic dictionary ever start emitting smoke, strange

odor, or heat, or start exhibiting other strange behavior, stop using

it. Continued use creates the risk of re and electric shock. Take the

following steps immediately.

1 Turn off power.

2 Contact your original retailer or authorized CASIO service centre.

Before assuming malfunction, be sure to check this manual for

possible remedies, and check to make sure your problem is not due to

low battery power or operational errors.

Keep the electronic dictionary away from your chest (breast pocket,

etc.) if you are wearing a pacemaker or other medical device.

Magnetism from the electronic dictionary can affect a pacemaker or

other device. If you feel any abnormality, immediately move away from

the electronic dictionary and contact your physician.

Never carry the electronic dictionary along with a magnetic card

(credit card, cash card, prepaid card, etc.) The electronic dictionary

uses components that generate a magnetic eld, which can make a

magnetic card unusable.

LCD Never apply strong pressure to the LCD screen or subject it to strong

impact. Doing so can cause the glass to crack.

Should the LCD glass ever break, avoid touching the liquid that may

leak from the LCD. Contact with LCD liquid can cause skin irritation.

Should you accidentally get liquid leaking from the LCD in your mouth,

immediately rinse your mouth and contact your physician.

Should liquid leaking from the LCD get into your eyes or onto your

skin, immediately rinse for at least 15 minutes and then contact your

physician.

Due to limitations of the LCD used in this electronic dictionary, graphic

images may not appear as they do on your computer display in terms

of colour, etc.

Some display pixels may not light or may remain lit. The liquid crystal panel used for the display is a product of very

high accuracy technology. The effective pixel rate of the display

is 99.99%, which means that no more than 0.01% of the pixels

do not light or remain lit at all times. This is normal and does not

indicate malfunction.

13

Location Never use your electronic dictionary in a hospital, in an aircraft, or in

any other location where operation of mobile telephones is controlled

or restricted.

Avoid using your electronic dictionary in areas where electrostatic

charge is generated.

Using a battery other than those speci ed can greatly shorten battery

life and cause abnormal operation.

When changing to a rechargeable battery, be sure to change the

battery type setting to Ni-MH (Rechargeable).

compartment.

Remove the battery if you do not plan to use

your electronic dictionary for a long time.

Never try to recharge the battery that comes
