About the EL backlight

About the EL backlight This unit is equipped with an EL backlight that allows easy viewing of display

contents in a theater, or anywhere else where lighting is dim. Note, however, that frequent or extended use of the EL backlight shortens

battery life.

The following shows how backlight use affects battery life under controlled test conditions.*

* Test Conditions Battery Life is the number of hours before battery failure when the unit is left

on with 5 minutes of a processing operation and 55 minutes of continuous display only (no processing operation) per hour, plus the backlight operation described below.

Backlight Operation is the number of minutes the backlight is turned on per hour during the display only (no processing operation) period.

Important! The EL backlight may fail to operate when battery power is low, in order to conserve remaining battery power and protect data stored in memory.

Backlight Operation Battery Life

3 minutes per hour Approximately 45 hours

15 minutes per hour Approximately 25 hours

PART 1

Getting Started

Read this first! You must be familiar with the following information in order to use the SF Unit correctly. It tells you what to do in order to avoid losing important data stored in memory. Please be sure to read the following before using the SF Unit!

Make back up copies of important data! Your SF Unit employs electronic memory, which makes it possible to store large volumes of data and to recall stored data quickly and easily. Data is retained as long as power is supplied by the batteries. This means that should batteries go dead, or if you make a mistake while replacing batteries, the data stored in memory may be damaged or lost entirely. Data contents can also be damaged or lost due to strong electrostatic charge, strong impact, or extremes in temperature and humidity.

All of this means that you should make back up copies of important data in a notebook in case any of the above conditions occur.

About the ARE YOU USING..... and CLEAR MEMORY..... messages Whenever you turn on the power of the SF Unit, it performs a self-check before beginning operation. If a problem is discovered during the self-check, the SF Unit displays one of the following messages.

A

B

Note The above messages always appear in English, regardless of the system

language setting.

14

PART 1 Getting Started

If this is the first time you ever turned on the SF Unit Perform the RESET procedure under Before using the unit for the first time on page 1, starting from step 9.

If this is not the first time you are using the SF Unit... There is probably a problem with the data in memory (data error). Note that once data is lost it cannot be recovered. Such data errors are generally caused by one of the following problems.

Interruption of battery power. Severe electrostatic charge, impact, change in temperature, or change in

humidity. Hardware problem.

After a data error is discovered, you will not be able to input or edit data. In order to return memory to normal (allowing further input and editing of data), you must perform the RESET operation to clear the memory of all data. Before doing so, you may want to recall important data and write it down (if you dont already have a copy). You can then re-input the data after clearing the memory. The RESET procedure you should use depends on the type of message error message on the display.

ARE YOU USING A NEW UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME? 1. Make sure that NO is highlighted and then press SET. If YES is highlighted,

press J to move the highlighting to NO and then press SET. The message DATA ERROR! CHECK YOUR USERS GUIDE FOR PRO-

CEDURE! appears on the display at this time. After this message appears, you can press CLEAR to clear it from the display and recall data in order to make a back-up record of it before continuing.

2. Press the RESET button, which is located inside the battery compartment cover on the back of the unit.

This causes the CLEAR MEMORY AND SET UP THE UNIT FOR OPERA- TION? message to appear on the display.

3. Press H to move the highlighting to YES and then press SET to reset the unit. Highlighting NO and pressing SET clears the reset message and displays the

Home Time screen.

CLEAR MEMORY AND SET UP THE UNIT FOR OPERATION? 1. Make sure that YES is highlighted. If OFF is highlighted, press H to move the

highlighting to YES. Highlighting OFF and pressing SET turns off the unit without resetting the unit.

15

2. Press SET to reset the unit.

If you still have trouble after trying the RESET operation, you may have a hardware problem. If so, consult with your nearest CASIO dealer.

General Precautions Never try to take the SF Unit apart. Avoid strong impact and sudden temperature changes. At very low temperatures, the display response time may slow down or the

display may fail completely. This is temporary and correct operation should return at normal temperature.

To avoid serious damage to the SF Unit caused by leaking batteries, replace batteries once every two years, regardless of how much you use the SF Unit during that time.

Never use thinner, benzine or other volatile agents to clean the exterior of the SF Unit. Instead, wipe it off with a soft cloth dampened in a solution of water and a mild, neutral detergent. Wring the cloth out until it is almost dry.

If the SF Unit is exposed to strong electrostatic charge, the display may dim or the SF Unit may lock up. To correct this situation, switch power off, and then remove and then replace the batteries.

Do not press the keys with a pen, pencil or other sharp object. The SF Unit may cause interference with radio or television reception. Keep

it away from such appliances when you are using it. Note that pressing SHIFT and then LIGHT causes the backlight to light and

stay lit as long as you continue to operate the SF Unit, or until you press LIGHT again to turn it off manually. Leaving the backlight on for long periods greatly reduces battery life!

About the Power Supply The SF Unit is powered by three CR2032 lithium batteries. Replace batteries as soon as possible after low battery power is indicated by any of the following. Low battery message appears on the display Blank display when power is turned on Dim display figures even after display contrast is adjusted Failure of the backlight to turn on

About the Power Supply

16

PART 1 Getting Started

Caution All data stored in memory is lost if you remove more than one battery

at the same time. Be sure that you keep a separate copy of all important data that you

store in the SF Unit.

Low Battery Message A message appears on the display to warn you when the batteries power drops below a certain level. Should battery power drop too low, data in memory may be corrupted or lost. Whenever a low battery power message appears on the display, be sure to stop operation of the SF Unit and replace batteries as soon as possible.

Important! Whenever the message WEAK BATTERIES! CONSULT YOUR USERS GUIDE IMMEDIATELY! appears, be sure to replace all batteries.

Battery Precautions Incorrectly using batteries can cause them to burst or leak, possibly damaging the interior of the SF Unit. Note the following precautions.

Be sure that the positive (+) side of each battery is facing up (so you can see it).

Never mix batteries of different types.

Never mix old batteries and new ones.

17

Never leave dead batteries in the battery compartment.

Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the SF Unit for a long period.

Replace batteries at least once every year, no matter how much you use the SF Unit during that period.

Never try to recharge the batteries supplied with the SF Unit.

Do not expose batteries to direct heat, let them become shorted, or try to take them apart.

Should a battery leak, clean out the battery compartment of the SF Unit immediately, taking care to avoid letting the battery fluid come into direct contact with your skin.

Keep batteries out of the reach of small children. If swallowed, consult with a physician immediately.

The batteries that come with this unit discharge slightly during shipment and storage. Because of this, they may require replacement sooner than the normal expected battery life.

To replace the batteries Before replacing the batteries, note the following precaution: Be sure to replace all batteries with a full set of new ones, and do not mix old

batteries with new ones.

1. Press OFF to switch power OFF.

PART 2 Operation Reference

An alarm tone sounds for about 20 seconds and an alarm message appears on the display whenever an alarm time is reached, even if unit power is switched off. You can stop the alarm by pressing any key and then press ESC to return to the display that was shown before the alarm began to sound.

Important! An alarm will not sound if that type of alarm is switched off on the SOUND

menu. This is especially important to remember when you want to use Reminder and Schedule Alarms. For details on how to switch alarms on, see About the SOUND menu... on page 25.

If the Daily Alarm set in the Home Time Mode and a Daily Reminder alarm set in the Reminder Mode are set for the same time, the Daily Reminder alarm takes precedence. This means that the Daily Reminder message appears on the display when the alarm time is reached.

The alarm does not sound if you are performing a data communications operation when the alarm time is reached.

The alarm may fail to sound if battery power is too low.

Note If the message SECRET DATA! appears on the display, it means that an alarm time set in the secret memory area (see page 66) was reached.

Inputting Letters, Numbers and Symbols The following describes the basic input operations for the SF Unit. Note that you can use the following operations to input data only in the Telephone Directory, the Memo Mode, the Schedule Keeper, the To Do Mode, the Expense Mode, and the Reminder.

Press SHIFT and then H to make the cursor jump to the first character of an entry, or SHIFT J to jump to the end of an entry.

Note Every character and symbol you input is counted as an input character. Next () and new-line () symbols are also counted as input characters. The maximum number of input characters that can be stored for each data item is 384. When the number of characters you are inputting into the current data item exceeds 374, the cursor changes shape from _ to . This indicates that you can input only 10 more characters for the current data item.

27

To input letters and numbers Press the key that is marked with the letter or number that you want to input.

To input upper-case letters Press CAPS to switch the keyboard between upper-case and lower-case letters. The indicator CAPS on the display shows that the keyboard is shift-locked for upper-case letters.

The upper-case/lower-case setting you make with CAPS remains in effect until you change it, even when you switch the SF Unit off.

A shift-lock operation using CAPS affects the letter keys only. It does not shift the number keys for punctuation symbol input.

To shift the keyboard Press SHIFT to temporarily shift the keyboard between upper-case and lower-case letters. The indicator SHIFT on the display shows that the keyboard is shifted.

If the keyboard is shift-locked for upper-case input, pressing SHIFT shifts to lower-case. If the keyboard is set for lower-case letters (by the CAPS key), pressing SHIFT changes to upper-case.

With SHIFT, the keyboard remains shifted for input of one character only. As soon as you input one character, the keyboard switches back to the status set by CAPS.

PART 6

Data Communications

Data communications capabilities let you transfer data between two CASIO SF Units, between an SF Unit and a CASIO CSF Unit or NX Unit, or between this unit and a personal computer. You can perform such operations in the Telephone Directory, Memo, Schedule Keeper, Calendar, To Do, Expense or Reminder modes.

About data compatibility Whenever you exchange data with a CASIO SF Unit, there are certain restric- tions concerning data compatibility.

Send data You cannot send data to the CASIO SF-A Series Units (SF-A10, etc.). Some SF Units, CSF Units, NX Units do not have modes that are included

with this Unit. For example, some Units do not have a Reminder Mode or an Expense Mode. Data from a mode cannot be received by an SF Unit, CSF Unit, NX Unit unless that SF Unit, CSF Unit, NX Unit also has the same mode.

Data cannot be sent from this SF unit to a CASIO SF-5580, 5580E, 5590SY, 5590SYE, 5780, 5780E, 5790SY, 5790SYE, 5980, 5980E, 5990SY, 5990SYE, 6500SY, 6700SY, 6900SY, 7100SY or 7200SY unit.

When data is sent from this SF Unit to a CASIO CSF or NX Unit, data stored in Telephone Directory items FREE1 through FREE6 is stored in the Telephone Directory MEMO item of the unit to which you are sending data, with newline symbols between the FREE items.

When data is sent from this SF Unit to a CASIO CSF or NX Unit, all text is blue. When data is sent from this SF Unit to a CASIO CSF or NX Unit, all calendar

highlighting is blue. The euro mark can be transferred between two SF-4900ER/SF-4980ER/

SF-4985ER units. Euro marks are replaced by blank spaces when data is transferred from a SF-4900ER/SF-4980ER/SF-4985ER unit to an older model.

Receive data You cannot receive data from the CASIO SF-A Series Units (SF-A10, etc.). Some SF Units, CSF Units, NX Units have modes that are not included with

this unit. Data from such modes cannot be received by this unit. The Schedule Keeper of some SF Units is capable of storing multiple-date

data items. Whenever you transfer such a data item to the your SF Unit, it is automatically converted to a single-date data item. The date used is the one that starts the original multiple-date data item.

96

PART 6 Data Communications

Some SF Unit models have a mark protection feature to protect against accidental erasure of data. This unit does not feature mark protection, and so such data is received by this unit disregarding the mark protection.

Data cannot be sent to this SF Unit from a CASIO SF-5580, 5580E, 5590SY, 5590SYE, 5780, 5780E, 5790SY, 5790SYE, 5980, 5980E, 5990SY, 5990SYE, 6500SY, 6700SY, 6900SY, 7100SY or 7200SY unit.

When data is sent to this SF Unit from a CASIO CSF or NX Unit, CSF/NX Telephone Directory MEMO item data is stored in the Telephone Directory FREE1 item of this SF Unit.

When data is sent to this SF Unit from a CASIO CSF or NX Unit, all text becomes monochrome.

When data is sent to this SF Unit from a CASIO CSF or NX Unit, all calendar highlighting becomes monochrome. All CSF/NX calendar dates that are orange or green are converted to highlighted dates.

This unit cannot receive PERSONAL, FAMILY, TIMETABLE, or GOLF memo data from a CASIO NX Unit.

Setting Up for Data Communications The following describes what you should do to set up for data communications between two SF Units, between an SF Unit and a CASIO CSF Unit or NX Unit, or between this unit and a personal computer.

To connect the SF-4900ER/SF-4980ER/SF-4985ER to another SF Unit (or CSF Unit/NX Unit) 1. Make sure that the power of both units is switched off. 2. Open the covers of the data communication jacks of the two SF Units. 3. Connect the two units using the optional SB-62 cable.

The 3-pin plug of the SB-62 cable is a two-step type. When attaching the plug, be sure to push it firmly into the jacks as far as it will go.

97

Important! Be sure to close the connector covers of the SF Units when you are not

performing data communications.

Performing data communications between an SF Unit and a personal computer See the manual that comes with FA-127 Version1.4 for details on connecting to a computer and setting up for communication.

Note The CASIO Data Communication Package may not be included with certain SF

Units models. If your unit does not come with the Data Communication Package, contact your dealer about purchasing one. Please note that there are a number of different CASIO Data Communication Packages to suit various computers and SF Unit types. Because of this, you should note the following important points when purchasing a Data Communication Package. If you have any question about which package you need, consult with your dealer.

Make sure the Data Communication Package is designed for use with your particular model of personal computer.

If the proper Data Communication Package is not yet available in your area, consult with your dealer to find out when it is scheduled to go on sale.

For information on how to connect the SF Unit with a personal computer, see the users manual that comes with a Data Communication Package.
