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.

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.

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.

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 USER'S 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.

• 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.
