Getting Ready for First Use

Before using this watch for the first time, perform the steps below in sequence to charge the watch and configure its settings.

STEP 1: Charge the watch

Be sure to charge the watch before using it.

Use the charger cable that comes with the watch to charge using a USB-AC adaptor, or by connection to a computer or other device.

Note that the setup of a computer may not support charging from its USB port.

Connect to a USB (Type A) port

Make sure the charger cable connector is oriented correctly when plugging it into a USB port.

Important!

The USB-AC adaptor or other USB power supply device you use must meet certain specifications. Do not use an inferior adaptor or device that does not meet the required specifications. Doing so can cause malfunction and breakdown of the watch and USB power supply device. Also note that use of a USB-AC adaptor may be subject to local standards imposed by the country where you are located. CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD. shall be held in no way liable for any malfunction or break down of the watch and/or USB power supply device caused by use of an inferior adaptor or device that does not meet the required specifications.

Precautions When Charging

Make sure that the charger cable connector is oriented correctly when connecting it to a USB port.

When using a computer for charging, connection to a USB2.0 or higher USB (Type-A) port only is supported. Depending on the computer model, connection environment and other factors, charging may take a long time or may not be possible. Charging is not performed while a computer is hibernating.

Operation on a custom computer or a computer that has been modified from its original configuration is not guaranteed. Even in the case of an unmodified commercially available computer, USB port specifications may make charging impossible.

An error message may appear when the watch is connected to a computer with the charger cable.
If this happens, disconnect the charger cable from the computer and then re-connect it.

If you cannot charge using the above procedure, try a different USB port or use a USB-AC adaptor.

Charge Level Indication While Charging

The charge level indicator will appear after watch charging starts.

If the battery is dead when you start charging, the charge level indicator will not appear until after the charge reaches a preset level.

Hold down the power button for at least two seconds to turn on the watch.

Other Charging Precautions

Charging time depends on the remaining battery capacity and your usage environment.

Should water get onto the watch, the charger cable, or the USB power supply device during charging, immediately disconnect the charger cable and stop charging.

If an ongoing charging operation stops, disconnect the watch from the charger cable. After checking for and eliminating problems, try charging again.

In an area where it is extremely cold or hot, you may not be able to charge the watch or the watch may not charge completely. Charge the watch in an area where the ambient temperature is between 10°C and 35°C (50°F and 95°F).

Charging may cause radio and/or television interference. If this happens, use a power outlet that is further away from the TV or radio for charging.

To help promote longer battery life, regular charging of the watch (about once a month) is recommended even if you do not use it for a long time.

Charging may take longer or may not be possible at all if there is dirt or other foreign matter on the charger terminal or on the charger cable connector. Use a clean, dry cloth or cotton swab to occasionally wipe the charger terminal and charger cable connector.
