3 minutes per hour Approximately 45 hours
15 minutes per hour Approximately 25 hours
* Test Conditions
• “Battery Life” is the number of hours before battery failure when the unit is left
on with 5 minutes of a processing operation and 55 minutes of continuous
display only (no processing operation) per hour, plus the backlight operation
described below.
• “Backlight Operation” is the number of minutes the backlight is turned on per
hour during the display only (no processing operation) period.
Important!
The EL backlight may fail to operate when battery power is low, in order to
conserve remaining battery power and protect data stored in memory.

PART 1
Getting Started
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 “ARE YOU USING.....” and “CLEAR
MEMORY.....” messages…
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 one of the following messages.
A
B
Note
• The above messages always appear in English, regardless of the system
language setting.
13
PART 1 Getting Started
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. Before doing so,
you may want to recall important data and write it down (if you don’t already have
a copy). You can then re-input the data after clearing the memory.
The RESET procedure you should use depends on the type of message error
message on the display.
“ARE YOU USING A NEW UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME?”
1. Make sure that NO is highlighted and then press
press J to move the highlighting to NO and then press
SET. If YES is highlighted,
SET.
• The message “DATA ERROR! CHECK YOUR USER’S GUIDE FOR PRO-
CEDURE!” appears on the display at this time. After this message appears,
you can press
CLEAR to clear it from the display and recall data in order to
make a back-up record of it before continuing.
2. Press the RESET button, which is located inside the battery compartment
cover on the back of the unit.
• This causes the “CLEAR MEMORY AND SET UP THE UNIT FOR OPERA-
TION?” message to appear on the display.
3. Press H to move the highlighting to YES and then press
• Highlighting NO and pressing
SET clears the reset message and displays the
SET to reset the unit.
Home Time screen.
“CLEAR MEMORY AND SET UP THE UNIT FOR OPERATION?”
1. Make sure that YES is highlighted. If OFF is highlighted, press H to move the
highlighting to YES.
• Highlighting OFF and pressing
SET turns off the unit without resetting the unit.

About the Power Supply
2. Press SET 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.
• Note that pressing

Leaving the backlight on for long periods greatly reduces battery life!
About the Power Supply
The SF Unit is powered by three 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
15
PART 1 Getting Started
Caution
• All data stored in memory is lost if you remove more than one battery
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.
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.
16
About the Power Supply
• 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.

About alarm types
This unit has three types of alarms: the Daily Alarm, Schedule Alarm, and
Reminder Alarm. The following describes each of these alarms.
Daily Alarm
The Daily Alarm sounds at the same time everyday, when the Home
Time reaches the time you have set as the Daily Alarm (page 73).
Reminder Alarm
The Reminder Alarm sounds on the same date each month or each year, or
at the same time everyday. Use the Reminder Mode to set this type of alarm
(page 58).
Schedule Alarm
The Schedule Alarm sounds at the specified time on a specified date. Use
the Schedule Keeper Mode to set this type of alarm (page 43).
25
PART 2 Operation Reference
An alarm tone sounds for about 20 seconds and an alarm message appears on
the display whenever an alarm time is reached, even if unit power is switched off.
You can stop the alarm by pressing any key and then press
display that was shown before the alarm began to sound.
Important!
• An alarm will not sound if that type of alarm is switched off on the SOUND
menu. This is especially important to remember when you want to use
Reminder and Schedule Alarms. For details on how to switch alarms on, see
“About the SOUND menu...” on page 25.
• If the Daily Alarm set in the Home Time Mode and a Daily Reminder alarm
set in the Reminder Mode are set for the same time, the Daily Reminder alarm
takes precedence. This means that the Daily Reminder message appears on
the display when the alarm time is reached.
• The alarm does not sound if you are performing a data communications
operation when the alarm time is reached.
• The alarm may fail to sound if battery power is too low.
Note
If the message “SECRET DATA!” appears on the display, it means that an alarm
time set in the secret memory area (see page 66) was reached.

About display formats
There are two display formats used in the Telephone Directory, Memo Mode,
Schedule Keeper, To Do Mode, Expense Mode and Reminder Mode: a data
display format and an index display format. The data display shows all of the data
entries contained in a data item, while an index display abbreviates each data
item into one or two lines. The index display makes it possible to quickly scroll
through data items to find the one that you want.
You can switch between the data display and index display formats at any time

PART 3 Data Management Functions
Using the Telephone Directory
The innovative Telephone Directory Mode of the SF Unit lets you input names,
telephone numbers, and addresses (e-mail/home) for instant look up when you
need them. It even gives you a total of six user-definable items that you can use
to record birthdays, hobbies, or any other information you want. Each Telephone
Directory data item can contain up to 384 characters (including next and newline
symbols).
About Telephone Directory data items and data entries...
Telephone Directory information is stored in units called data items. Each data
item is made up of a number of data entries. Telephone Directory
data items are made up of nine entries: Name, Number, Addresses (e-mail/
home) plus 6 FREE entries (FREE 1 ~ FREE 6). These “FREE” entries can be
used to store any type of data you want. You can even change the FREE labels
to create your own named entries.
Inputting Telephone Directory data
Use the following procedure to input Telephone Directory data.

Data Communications
Data communications capabilities let you transfer data between two CASIO SF
Units, between an SF Unit and a CASIO CSF Unit or NX Unit, or between this unit
and a personal computer. You can perform such operations in the Telephone
Directory, Memo, Schedule Keeper, Calendar, To Do, Expense or Reminder
modes.
About data compatibility
Whenever you exchange data with a CASIO SF Unit, there are certain restrictions concerning data compatibility.
Send data
• You cannot send data to the CASIO SF-A Series Units (SF-A10, etc.).
• Some SF Units, CSF Units, NX Units do not have modes that are included
with this Unit. For example, some Units do not have a Reminder Mode or an
Expense Mode. Data from a mode cannot be received by an SF Unit, CSF
Unit, NX Unit unless that SF Unit, CSF Unit, NX Unit also has the same mode.
• Data cannot be sent from this SF unit to a CASIO SF-5580, 5580E, 5590SY,
5590SYE, 5780, 5780E, 5790SY, 5790SYE, 5980, 5980E, 5990SY, 5990SYE,
6500SY, 6700SY, 6900SY, 7100SY or 7200SY unit.
• When data is sent from this SF Unit to a CASIO CSF or NX Unit, data stored
in Telephone Directory items FREE1 through FREE6 is stored in the
Telephone Directory MEMO item of the unit to which you are sending data,
with newline symbols between the FREE items.
• When data is sent from this SF Unit to a CASIO CSF or NX Unit, all text is blue.
• When data is sent from this SF Unit to a CASIO CSF or NX Unit, all calendar
highlighting is blue.
• The euro mark
SF-4985ER units. Euro marks are replaced by blank spaces when data is
transferred from a SF-4900ER/SF-4980ER/SF-4985ER unit to an older
model.
Receive data
• You cannot receive data from the CASIO SF-A Series Units (SF-A10, etc.).
• Some SF Units, CSF Units, NX Units have modes that are not included with
this unit. Data from such modes cannot be received by this unit.
• The Schedule Keeper of some SF Units is capable of storing multiple-date
data items. Whenever you transfer such a data item to the your SF Unit, it is
automatically converted to a single-date data item. The date used is the one
that starts the original multiple-date data item.
can be transferred between two SF-4900ER/SF-4980ER/
95
PART 6 Data Communications
• Some SF Unit models have a mark protection feature to protect against
accidental erasure of data. This unit does not feature mark protection, and so
such data is received by this unit disregarding the mark protection.
• Data cannot be sent to this SF Unit from a CASIO SF-5580, 5580E, 5590SY,
5590SYE, 5780, 5780E, 5790SY, 5790SYE, 5980, 5980E, 5990SY, 5990SYE,
6500SY, 6700SY, 6900SY, 7100SY or 7200SY unit.
• When data is sent to this SF Unit from a CASIO CSF or NX Unit, CSF/NX
Telephone Directory MEMO item data is stored in the Telephone Directory
FREE1 item of this SF Unit.
• When data is sent to this SF Unit from a CASIO CSF or NX Unit, all text
becomes monochrome.
• When data is sent to this SF Unit from a CASIO CSF or NX Unit, all calendar
highlighting becomes monochrome. All CSF/NX calendar dates that are
orange or green are converted to highlighted dates.
• This unit cannot receive PERSONAL, FAMILY, TIMETABLE, or GOLF
memo data from a CASIO NX Unit.
Setting Up for Data Communications
The following describes what you should do to set up for data communications
between two SF Units, between an SF Unit and a CASIO CSF Unit or NX Unit,
or between this unit and a personal computer.
To connect the SF-4900ER/SF-4980ER/SF-4985ER to another
SF Unit (or CSF Unit/NX Unit)
1. Make sure that the power of both units is switched off.
2. Open the covers of the data communication jacks of the two SF Units.
3. Connect the two units using the optional SB-62 cable.
• The 3-pin plug of the SB-62 cable is a two-step type. When attaching the plug,
be sure to push it firmly into the jacks as far as it will go.
96
Setting Up for Data Communications
Important!
• Be sure to close the connector covers of the SF Units when you are not
performing data communications.
Performing data communications between an SF Unit and a
personal computer
See the manual that comes with FA-127 Version1.4 for details on connecting to
a computer and setting up for communication.
Note
• The CASIO Data Communication Package may not be included with certain SF
Units models. If your unit does not come with the Data Communication
Package, contact your dealer about purchasing one. Please note that there are
a number of different CASIO Data Communication Packages to suit various
computers and SF Unit types. Because of this, you should note the following
important points when purchasing a Data Communication Package. If you
have any question about which package you need, consult with your dealer.
• Make sure the Data Communication Package is designed for use with
your particular model of personal computer.
• If the proper Data Communication Package is not yet available in your
area, consult with your dealer to find out when it is scheduled to go on
sale.
• For information on how to connect the SF Unit with a personal computer,
see the user’s manual that comes with a Data Communication Package.

About communications parameters...
Communications parameters make it possible for two communicating units to
understand each other. The following explanations are provided for your information only. The only thing you need to remember is that the parameters of the send
unit and the receive unit must be identical. Otherwise you will not be able to
transfer data successfully.
PARITY
Parity is used for error detection during data exchanges. You can set the SF Unit
parity as even (E), odd (O), or none (N).
BIT LENGTH
The bit length parameter states how many bits are to be used for each character.
You can set the SF Unit bit length as 7 bits or 8 bits.
BPS
The letters “BPS” stand for “bits per second,” and this setting represents
the speed at which data is sent. The SF Unit lets you set a speed of either 4800
or 9600.
