AC cord plug and wall outlet illustrated in this User’s Guide shows the two-pin plug type. It may not be the same shape of AC cord plug used in your area.

Use only a proper AC electric outlet (100V~240V) when powering FIVA with the AC adaptor. Use of an outlet with a different voltage from the rating creates the danger of malfunction, fire, and electric shock. Overloading an

AC100~240V

electric outlet creates the danger of overheating and fire.

Make sure the power plug and AC adaptor plug are inserted as far as they will go. Loose plugs create the danger of electric shock, overheating, and fire.

•Do not use the adaptor if the plug is damaged. Never connect to a power outlet that is loose.

Use a dry cloth to periodically wipe off any dust built up on the prongs of the plug. Humidity can cause poor insulation and create the danger of electric shock and fire if dust stays on the prongs.

Do not allow the power cord or plug to become damaged, and never try to modify them in any way. Continued use of a damaged power cord can cause deterioration of the insulation, exposure of internal wiring, and shorting, which creates the danger of electric shock and fire.

•Contact your authorized distributor whenever the power cord or plug requires repair or maintenance.

Use only the AC adaptor that comes with FIVA or the one specified by CASIO. Use of another type of AC adaptor creates the danger of fire.

Supplied

AC adaptor

Warning!

Do not cover the AC adaptor with a blanket, etc., or do not place FIVA on the heating rug, near a heater, etc. Doing so may cause malfunction or deformation of FIVA, which creates the danger of fire.

Battery Pack

Supplied battery pack

Use only the battery pack that comes with FIVA. When the battery pack reaches the end of its life, replace it with a new battery pack as specified by CASIO. Other types of batteries have different voltage rating and polarity, which creates the danger of fire and bursting of the batteries.

Never try to take the battery pack apart or modify it in any way. Doing so creates the danger of overheating, fire, and bursting of the battery pack.

Never throw the battery pack into fire or otherwise expose it to direct flame. Doing so creates the danger of fire and explosion.

Never allow the positive (+) and negative (–) poles of the batteries to become connected by metal. Do not store or transport the battery pack together with metal necklaces, hairpins, or other metal items. Shorting of the battery pack poles creates the danger of overheating, fire, and explosion.

•When transporting or storing the battery pack, wrap it in plastic to keep the poles away from metal items that might cause a short.
