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.
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.

Rechargeable Battery Pack
• Never try to take apart the battery pack or modify it in any way. The battery
Danger
pack has built-in safety and protection mechanisms that ensure safe
operation. Damaging these mechanisms creates the danger of fire, smoke
emission, and explosion.
• Never allow the positive (+) and negative (–) terminals of the battery pack to
become connected by metal. Never transport or store the battery pack together
with a necklace, hairpins or other metal objects. Doing so can short the battery
pack, which creates the danger of fire, overheating, and explosion.
• Never use or leave the battery pack next to open flame, near a stove, or any
other area exposed to temperatures of 80°C/170°F or greater. Doing so
creates the danger of fire and explosion.
• Never charge the battery pack near a stove, under direct sunlight, in an
automobile parked in the sun, or any other area subject to high temperatures.
High temperature can cause the battery pack’s safety mechanism to operate
making it impossible to achieve a full charge. Heat can also cause an
abnormal chemical reaction, which creates the danger of fire and explosion.
• Never pierce the battery pack with nails, hit it with a hammer, step on it, or
throw it. Doing so can cause internal shorting, which creates the danger of
fire and explosion.
• Never use a battery pack whose exterior is extremely damaged or deformed.
Use of such a battery pack creates the danger of fire, overheating, and explosion.
• Never use the battery pack with any device other than this product. Doing so can
cause abnormal current that damages the battery pack and creates the danger of fire.
• Keep a battery pack that is emitting a strange odor or leaking fluid away
from open flame. Fluid leaking from the battery pack is highly flammable.
It creates the danger of fire and explosion.
Warning
• Never expose the battery pack to direct flame, do not throw it into fire, fresh
water, or seawater. Doing so can damage the built in safety and protection
mechanisms, and cause battery fluid to ignite, creating the danger of fire and
explosion.
• Should fluid from the battery pack ever accidentally get into your eyes, do
not rub them. Rinse your eyes with tap water and then consult your
physician immediately.
• If the battery pack does not achieve full charge after the normal charge time,
stop charging. Continued charging creates the danger of fire, overheating,
and explosion.

Caution
Misuse of batteries can cause them to leak, which damages and corrodes the
area around the battery and creates the danger of fire and personal injury. Be
sure to observe the following precautions.
• When loading batteries, make sure their positive (+) and negative (–) poles
are facing correctly.
• Remove battery from the unit if you do not plan to use it for a long time.
• Use only battery types that are specified for this unit.
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.

• Unplug the AC adapter from the wall outlet whenever leaving the unit
Caution
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.

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 they start to become weak.
Continued use while power is low can lead to loss of memory data.
• Do not leave dead batteries in the CASSIOPEIA for long periods. Doing so can result
in battery leakage, which can damage the CASSIOPEIA and cause malfunction.
• Use the CASSIOPEIA under the conditions listed below.
• Temperature: –5°C to 50°C (23°F to 122°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.
