Unpacking

As you unpack your electronic dictionary, check to make sure that the following item is included with it.

One AA-size alkaline battery

• Other accessories also may be included.

Battery

Use only a battery included in the recommended battery list (page

•

77). Do not use a bat tery that is not included in the list. Batter y characteristics and a battery that does not match the speciﬁ cations of the electronic dictionar y may result in abnormal operation or failure to achieve the speciﬁ ed operation between battery charges. Your electronic dictionary does not come with a rechargeable battery

•

or a batter y charger. If you want to use a rechargeable battery and a batter y charger, it is up to you to purchase them from a retailer, wholesaler, or other source. The charge of the original battery that comes with this electronic

•

dictionary is consumed somewhat as the product spends time in transit, storage, etc. Because of this, the original batter y may not provide the full amount of operation noted in the speciﬁ cations (page

79).

Before Getting StartedBefore Getting Started

Important Precautions

Note the following important precautions whenever using your electronic dictionary.

Never expose your electronic dictionar y to ﬁ re. Doing so can cause the

•

batter y to explode, creating the risk of ﬁ re and personal injury. Avoid temperature extremes. Do not locate your electronic dictionary

•

in direct sunlight, near a window, near a heater, etc. Under very low temperatures, display response may slow down or

•

fail entirely. This condition is temporary and operation should resume under normal temperatures. Avoid areas subject to excessive moisture, dir t, and dust.

•

Never subject your electronic dictionary to strong impact, bending, or

•

twisting, do not carry it in the pocket of your trousers, and do not keep it together with hard objects inside of a bag or briefcase. Never place heavy objects on the electronic dictionary. Doing so can

•

cause the object to fall off and create the chance of personal injury. Never try to take your electronic dictionary apart.

•

Never use a pen, pencil, or other sharp object to press keys.

•

To clean the exterior, wipe your electronic dictionary with a soft cloth

•

dampened in a weak solution of a mild neutral detergent and water. Be sure to wring out any excess moisture from the cloth before wiping. Never use benzene, thinners, or any other volatile agent for cleaning. Doing so can remove the ﬁ gures printed on the case or otherwise damage the ﬁ nish of the case. Should the electronic dictionary ever start emitting smoke, strange

•

odor, or heat, or start exhibiting other strange behavior, stop using it. Continued use creates the risk of ﬁ re and electric shock. Take the following steps immediately.

1 Turn off power. 2 Contact your original retailer or authorized CASIO service centre.

Before assuming malfunction, be sure to check this manual for

•

possible remedies, and check to make sure your problem is not due to low batter y power or operational errors.

IntroductionIntroduction

Keep the electronic dictionary away from your chest (breast pocket,

•

etc.) if you are wearing a pacemaker or other medical device. Magnetism from the electronic dictionary can affect a pacemaker or other device. If you feel any abnormality, immediately move away from the electronic dictionar y and contact your physician. Never carry the electronic dictionary along with a magnetic card

•

(credit card, cash card, prepaid card, etc.) The electronic dictionary uses components that generate a magnetic ﬁ eld, which can make a magnetic card unusable.

LCD

Never apply strong pressure to the LCD screen or subject it to strong

•

impact. Doing so can cause the glass to crack. Should the LCD glass ever break, avoid touching the liquid that may

•

leak from the LCD. Contact with LCD liquid can cause skin irritation. Should you accidentally get liquid leaking from the LCD in your mouth,

•

immediately rinse your mouth and contact your physician. Should liquid leaking from the LCD get into your eyes or onto your

•

skin, immediately rinse for at least 15 minutes and then contact your physician. Due to limitations of the LCD used in this electronic dictionary, graphic

•

images may not appear as they do on your computer display in terms of colour, etc.

Some display pixels may not light or may remain lit.

The liquid crystal panel used for the display is a product of very high accuracy technology. The effective pixel rate of the display is 99.99%, which means that no more than 0.01% of the pixels do not light or remain lit at all times. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.

Location

Never use your electronic dictionary in a hospital, in an aircraft, or in

•

any other location where operation of mobile telephones is controlled or restricted. Avoid using your electronic dictionary in areas where electrostatic

•

charge is generated.

CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD. assumes no responsibility for any

•

loss or claims by third parties arising out of the use of this product. The contents of this manual are subject to change without notice.

A nickel-metal hydride bat tery (rechargeable battery) in par ticular can deteriorate when left in the electronic dictionary when you are not using it for long periods. Remove the rechargeable battery as soon as possible.

Make sure you turn off power before replacing the battery.

•

Changing the battery while power is on can cause history data, settings, and other information to be deleted. Always replace the battery with a new AA-size alkaline battery or a fully

•

charged AA-size nickel-metal hydride battery (rechargeable battery). Using a battery other than those speciﬁ ed can greatly shorten batter y life and cause abnormal operation. When changing to a rechargeable battery, be sure to change the

•

batter y type setting to “Ni-MH (Rechargeable)”.

Battery Precautions

Using a battery incorrectly can cause it to burst or leak, possibly damaging the interior of the unit. Note the following precautions:

Be sure that the positive (+) and negative (–) ends of the battery are

•

facing in the correct directions. Do not expose batteries to direct

•

heat, let them become shorted, or try to take them apar t. Never leave a dead battery in the bat tery

•

compartment.

Remove the battery if you do not plan to use

•

your electronic dictionary for a long time.

Never try to recharge the batter y that comes

•

with your electronic dictionary.

Should a battery leak, clean out the battery compar tment immediately,

•

taking care to avoid letting battery ﬂ uid come into direct contact with your skin.

Should battery ﬂ uid ever get into your eyes, take the following steps

•

immediately. Failure to do so can result in loss of eyesight.

1. Rinse your eyes with clean water, without rubbing them.

2. Contact a physician immediately.

Battery

Use only the speciﬁ ed battery charger for the batter y you are using to

•

charge it. There is no way to recharge a battery without removing it from the

•

electronic dictionary. Before using a rechargeable battery or its special charger unit, be sure

•

to read and follow the instructions and precautions that come with them. Recommended Battery

• AA-size alkaline battery: LR6 (AM3) AA-size nickel-metal hydride battery: SANYO eneloop

Keep batteries out of the reach of small children. If swallowed, consult a physician immediately.

Never dispose of used batteries with general household refuse. Be sure to take batteries to a appropriate collection site or speciﬁ ed waste disposal facility.
