Precautions During Use
Warning
Abnormal Conditions
•Continued use of the unit while it is emitting smoke or strange odor creates
the danger of fire and electrical shock. Immediately turn off power, unplug
the AC adapter from the wall outlet, remove batteries, and contact your
original dealer or an authorized CASIO service provider to request
servicing.
Water and Foreign Matter
•Should any foreign matter (metal, water or other liquid) ever get into the
unit, immediately turn off power, unplug the AC adapter from the wall
outlet, remove batteries, and contact your original dealer or an authorized
CASIO service provider to request servicing.
Dropping and Damage
•Should the unit ever fall or otherwise become damaged, unplug the AC
adapter from the power outlet, remove batteries, and contact your original
dealer or an authorized CASIO service provider. Continued use creates the
danger of fire and electrical shock.
Disassembly
•Never try to take the unit apart or modify it in any way. Doing so creates the
danger of fire and electrical shock.
Handling the Stylus
•Take care when using the stylus to avoid accidentally injuring your eyes or
the eyes of other. Careless use of the stylus creates the risk of loss of sight or
eye damage.

Caution
Memory Protection
•Be sure to keep separate copies of all important data by saving it on a
computer hard disk or other medium. Note that all data stored in unit
memory is deleted whenever batteries go dead. Memory contents can also
become lost or corrupted due to malfunction and repair of the unit.
Location
•Do not locate the unit in an area subjected to large amounts of humidity or
dust. Doing so can create the danger of fire and electrical shock.
•Keep the unit away from food preparation area, stoves, and anywhere else it
might be exposed to oil smoke or steam. Such conditions can create the
danger of fire and electrical shock.
Avoid unstable surfaces.
•Never place the unit on an unstable surface, on a high shelf, or in any other
unstable location. Doing so can create the danger of the unit falling and
causing personal injury.
Built-in Battery Pack
Warning
•Always leave built-in battery pack replacement up to an authorized service
technician. Attempting to replace the battery pack yourself creates the risk
of fire, personal injury, and other problems.

6
AC Adapter
Warning
•Never use a voltage that is different from that for which the AC adapter is
rated. Also, do not plug the unit into a power outlet that is shared by other
devices. Doing so creates the danger of fire and electrical shock.
•Never modify the power cord or excessively bend, twist, or pull it. Doing so
creates the danger of fire and electrical shock.
•Do not allow the power cord to become damaged. Do not place heavy
objects on the power cord or expose it to heat. A damaged power cord
creates the danger of fire and electrical shock.
•Never touch the AC adapter while your hands are wet. Doing so creates the
danger of electrical shock.
•Should the power cord ever become seriously damaged (internal wiring
exposed or shorted), contact your original dealer or an authorized CASIO
service provider to request servicing. Continued use of a seriously damaged
power cord creates the danger of fire and electrical shock.
•Use only the AC adapter specified for this unit. Use of another type of AC
adapter can damage the battery pack and create the danger of fire and
personal injury.
Caution
•Unplug the AC adapter from the wall outlet whenever leaving the unit
unattended for long periods.
•At least once a year, unplug the AC adapter from the power outlet and clean
the area around the prongs of the plug. Dust build up around the prongs can
create the danger of fire.
•Be sure to unplug the AC adapter from the wall outlet before attempting to
move the unit to another location.
•Be sure to grasp the AC adapter when unplugging it from a wall outlet.
Pulling on the power cord can damage it, and create the danger of fire and
electrical shock.
•Keep the power cord away from stoves and other sources of heat. Heat can
melt the insulation of the power cord and create the danger of fire and
electrical shock.

Display Screen Precautions
Caution
•Never apply strong pressure to the LCD screen or subject it to strong impact.
Doing so can cause the LCD panel glass to crack or break.
•Should the LCD panel glass ever crack or break, never touch the liquid inside
of the panel. LCD liquid can lead to skin irritation.
•Should LCD panel liquid ever get into your mouth, gargle with water and
contact your physician immediately.
•Should LCD panel liquid ever get into your eyes or onto your skin, flush the
exposed area with clean water for at least 15 minutes, and then contact your
physician.

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 its power goes low. Though
memory data that is already saved is retained in flash memory even when the battery
pack goes dead, some memory data may be lost if battery pack power drops below a
certain level before or during automatic backup of data to flash memory.
•The built-in battery pack can lose its ability to recharge if you do not charge it for a
long time (about one month). Be sure to charge the battery pack periodically.
•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.
•Never try to take the CASSIOPEIA apart. Doing so can cause malfunction.

9
•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 close the cover to protect the display panel of your CASSIOPEIA while
carrying it.
Important
•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.
•To avoid certain system problems, the power button is disabled (you cannot use it to
turn off power) for about three seconds after you turn on power.

Built-in Battery Pack Service Life
Though the built-in battery pack is rechargeable, it requires periodic replacement after
it is used for a long time. If the message “Internal Battery Warning
The internal battery is low. Continued use may result in loss of ability to store
data. Charge the battery as soon as possible.” appears on the display when you turn
on power or while you are using the CASSIOPEIA soon after you correctly charge the
battery, it probably means that the built-in battery pack has reached the end of its
normal service life.
Do not remove the built-in battery pack yourself. Take the unit to your original dealer
or an Authorized CASIO Service Provider to have it replaced. Note that you will be
charged for battery pack replacement.
•The normal rule of thumb for battery replacement is about once every two years
(about 500 charges).
Important
•Never try to replace the battery yourself! Doing so creates the risk of fire, personal
injury, or other serious problems.
Disposing of Your CASSIOPEIA
Be sure to remove the built-in battery pack from the CASSIOPEIA and dispose of it
separately.
Important
•Perform the following steps to remove the built-in battery pack from your
CASSIOPEIA only if you plan to dispose of your CASSIOPEIA and not use it any
longer. Otherwise, you should never try to remove the built-in battery pack.
1. Remove the screws securing the battery pack compartment cover in place, and
remove the cover.
