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, or using it

under cold conditions shortens battery life.

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

* Test Conditions Temperature: 25C 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.

The above battery life values are based on Panasonic CR2032 batteries.

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. The low battery message may appear even when battery power is not low if

you turn on the EL backlight under cold conditions. We recommend that you do not use the EL backlight under cold conditions.

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 DATA ERROR!..... message 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 the DATA ERROR!..... message.

Note The above message always appears in English, regardless of the system

language setting.

PART 1 Getting Started

E 14

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.

THE RESET OPERATION DELETES ALL DATA IN MEMORY! DO YOU WANT TO CONTINUE?

Press ENTER 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.

15 E

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. Leaving the backlight on for long periods greatly reduces battery life!

About the Power Supply The SF Unit is powered by two 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

Caution All data stored in memory is lost if you remove both batteries at the

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

store in the SF Unit.

About the Power Supply

PART 1 Getting Started

E 16

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. The low battery message may appear even when battery power is not low if

you turn on the EL backlight under cold conditions. We recommend that you do not use the EL backlight under cold conditions.

Actual battery life is affected by a variety of factors including battery manufacturer, the amount of time batteries spend in storage before you use them, and the temperature of the location where you are using the SF unit.

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 E

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.

About alarm types This unit has two types of alarms: the Daily Alarm and Schedule Alarm. The following describes each of these alarms.

Daily Alarm The Daily Alarm sounds at the same time everyday, when the Home Time reaches the time you have set as the Daily Alarm (page 66).

Schedule Alarm The Schedule Alarm sounds at the specified time on a specified date. Use the Schedule Keeper Mode to set this type of alarm (page 42).

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 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 Schedule alarm set in the Schedule Mode are set for the same time, the Schedule alarm takes precedence. This means that the Schedule 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 60) 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 Anniversary Mode.

In all of the following operations, the input or correction is performed at the current cursor location. To move the cursor around the display, use the K, L, H and J cursor keys.

Note Every character and symbol you input is counted as an input character. New-line (B) symbol is also counted as input characters. The maximum number of input characters that can be stored for each data item is 384.

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 and lower-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. Pressing SHIFT and then the Q, W, E, R, T, Y, U, I, O or P key inputs the symbol marked above the key. Pressing SHIFT and then the L key inputs .com. The indicator SHIFT on the display shows that the keyboad is shifted.

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.

About communications parameters... Communications parameters make it possible for two communicating units to understand each other. The following explanations are provided for your informa- tion only. The only thing you need to remember is that the parameters of the send unit and the receive unit must be identical. Otherwise you will not be able to transfer data successfully.

PARITY Parity is used for error detection during data exchanges. You can set the SF Unit parity as even (E), odd (O), or none (N).

BIT LENGTH The bit length parameter states how many bits are to be used for each character. You can set the SF Unit bit length as 7 bits or 8 bits.

BPS The letters BPS stand for bits per second, and this setting represents the speed at which data is sent. The SF Unit lets you set a speed of either 4800 or 9600.
