Unpacking
As you unpack your electronic dictionary, check to make sure that all
of the following items are included with it.
Two AA-size alkaline batteries
•
USB cable (page 142)
•
Earphones
•
Other accessories in addition to those shown above also may be
included.
Batteries
Use only batteries included in the recommended battery list (page
•
139). Do not use batteries that are not included in the list. Battery
characteristics and batteries that do not match the specifi cations of

or a battery charger. If you want to use rechargeable batteries and
a battery charger, it is up to you to purchase them from a retailer,
wholesaler, or other source.
The charge of the original batteries that come with this electronic
•
dictionary is consumed somewhat as the product spends time in
transit, storage, etc. Because of this, the original batteries may not
provide the full amount of operation noted in the specifi cations (page
144).
How you use the electronic dictionary, microSD memory card types
•
and operating conditions can greatly reduce battery life.

dictionary to connect to a computer. While connected, the electronic
dictionary is supplied power from the computer over the USB
connection. The USB connection can be used to transfer text fi les to
the electronic dictionary.
You will need to install special software (which includes a USB driver)
•
on your computer in order to communicate with your electronic
dictionary. Attempting to communicate without inst alling the special sof tware can cause malfunction.
For details about communicating with a computer and the special
•
software, see “Using Library” (page 111).
For details about how power is supplied over the USB connection, see
•
“Supplying Power from a Computer” (page 142).

fi ve levels.
The initial factory default setting is 3.
•
The brightness of the display will automatically dim to level 1 if you do
not perform any operation for about 30 seconds (under initial default
settings). Performing an operation will cause display brightness to return
to its normal level.

Important Precautions
Note the following important precautions whenever using your
electronic dictionary.
Never expose your electronic dictionary to fi re. Doing so can cause the
•
battery 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, dirt, 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 Disconnect the USB cable.
3 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 battery power or operational errors.
18
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 dictionary 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.
Be sure to keep backup copies of any data you transfer from a
•
computer to the electronic dictionary or a microSD memory card. Do
not delete the data from your computer after transferring it. Malfunction
or repair of the electronic dictionary can cause all of its memory
content to be deleted.
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.
19
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.
USB Cable and Electronic Dictionary USB cable
connector
Misuse of the USB cable can damage it and create the risk of personal
•
injury and property damage, fi re, and electric shock. Be sure to
observe the following points.
Do not place heavy objects on the USB cable or expose it to heat.
•
Do not attempt to modify the USB cable or subject it to excessive
•
bending.
Do not subject the USB cable to twisting or pulling.
•
Do not locate the USB cable near a stove or any other heating device.
•
Do not pull the cable when disconnecting the USB cable. Instead,
•
grasp the plug when pulling.
Insert the plug of the USB cable into the USB cable connector as far as
•
it will go.
Disconnect the USB cable from the USB cable connector before going
•
on a trip or whenever else you do not plan to use it for a long time.
Contact your original retailer or your nearest CASIO service centre
•
whenever the USB cable or plug becomes damaged.
Never touch the USB cable or plug while your hands are wet. Doing so
•
creates the risk of electric shock.
Connect only the USB cable that comes with the electronic dictionary
•
to the USB cable connector. Connecting any other cable creates the
risk of fi re and electric shock.
