other area exposed to temperatures of 80°C/170°F or greater. Doing so
creates the danger of fire and explosion.
• Never charge the battery pack near a stove, under direct sunlight, in an
automobile parked in the sun, or any other area subject to high temperatures.
High temperature can cause the battery pack’s safety mechanism to operate
making it impossible to achieve a full charge. Heat can also cause an
abnormal chemical reaction, which creates the danger of fire and explosion.
• Never pierce the battery pack with nails, hit it with a hammer, step on it, or
throw it. Doing so can cause internal shorting, which creates the danger of
fire and explosion.
• Never use a battery pack whose exterior is extremely damaged or deformed.
Use of such a battery pack creates the danger of fire, overheating, and explosion.
Never use the battery pack with any device other than this product. Doing so can
•
cause abnormal current that damages the battery pack and creates the danger of fire.
• Keep a battery pack that is emitting a strange odor or leaking fluid away
from open flame. Fluid leaking from the battery pack is highly flammable.
It creates the danger of fire and explosion.
Caution

Batteries
Danger
• Never expose the battery pack to direct flame, do not throw it into fire, fresh
water, or seawater. Doing so can damage the built in safety and protection
mechanisms, and cause battery fluid to ignite, creating the danger of fire and
explosion.
Warning
• Should fluid from the battery pack ever accidentally get into your eyes, do
not rub them. Rinse your eyes with tap water and then consult your
physician immediately.
• If the battery pack does not achieve full charge after the normal charge time,
stop charging. Continued charging creates the danger of fire, overheating,
and explosion.
Warning
• Never try to charge backup battery, take it apart, or allow it to become
shorted. Do not apply solder to battery or expose it to heat, and never throw
battery into fire or water.
• While the lithium battery is removed from the unit, take care to keep it in a
place where there is no danger of it being accidentally swallowed. Be
especially careful around young children.
• Keep batteries out of the reach of young children. If a battery is accidentally
swallowed, consult a physician immediately.
• Should fluid from the battery accidentally get into your eyes, do not rub
them. Rinse your eyes with water and then consult your physician
immediately.
• When loading batteries, make sure their positive (+) and negative (–) poles
are facing correctly.
Caution
Misuse of batteries can cause them to leak, which damages and corrodes the
area around the battery and creates the danger of fire and personal injury. Be
sure to observe the following precautions.
• Remove battery from the unit if you do not plan to use it for a long time.
• Use only battery types that are specified for this unit.

Operating Precautions
The CASSIOPEIA is a precision digital instrument. Incorrect operation and rough
handling can cause data storage problems and other malfunction. Be sure to read the
following precautions to ensure proper operation.
• Charge the battery pack as soon as possible when they start to become weak.
Continued use while power is low can lead to loss of memory data.
• Do not leave dead batteries in the CASSIOPEIA for long periods. Doing so can result
in battery leakage, which can damage the CASSIOPEIA and cause malfunction.
• Use the CASSIOPEIA under the conditions listed below.
• Temperature: 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)
• No condensation
Conditions other than those above can cause malfunction.
• Avoid using the CASSIOPEIA in areas subjected to the following conditions.
• Static electricity
• Extreme heat or cold
• High humidity
• Sudden temperature changes
• Large amounts of dust
• If you drop the CASSIOPEIA and damage it, immediately turn off power and contact
your original dealer or an authorized CASIO service provider. Never continue using a
damaged unit.
• Never place heavy objects on top of the CASSIOPEIA.
9
• Never try to take the CASSIOPEIA apart. Doing so can cause malfunction.
• Never insert foreign objects into connectors, slots, or other openings.
• Take care to avoid spilling water or drinks on the CASSIOPEIA.
• Use only the stylus that comes with the CASSIOPEIA to press the reset button.
• Never use a pen, pencil, or other sharp writing implement. Doing so can scratch the
touch screen and cause malfunction.
• Never use thinner, benzene, cosmetics, or other volatile agents to clean the exterior of
the CASSIOPEIA. Use only a dry soft cloth or a soft cloth moistened with a weak
solution of water and mild neutral detergent.
• Be sure to use the soft case to protect the display panel of your CASSIOPEIA while
carrying it.
Important
• The TFT color LCD is a product of the latest color LCD manufacturing technology.
However, virtually all TFT color LCDs have a very small number of pixels (about
0.01% of the total number of pixels) that do not turn on or always remain turned on.
This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.
• Playing back movies, digital camera images, and audio files consumes large amounts
of power and may cause the CASSIOPEIA to become warm to the touch. This is
normal and does not indicate malfunction.
• Inserting or removing a Storage card while the CASSIOPEIA is off causes power to
turn on automatically. This is done so the CASSIOPEIA can detect the card slot
status.
