About the EL backlight
This unit is equipped with an EL backlight that allows easy viewing of display
contents in a theater, or anywhere else where lighting is dim.
Note, however, that frequent or extended use of the EL backlight, or using it
under cold conditions shortens battery life.
The following shows how backlight use affects battery life under controlled test
conditions.*
* Test Conditions
Temperature: 25°C
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.
The above battery life values are based on Panasonic CR2032 batteries.
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.
The low battery message may appear even when battery power is not low if
you turn on the EL backlight under cold conditions. We recommend that you
do not use the EL backlight under cold conditions.

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 “DATA ERROR!.....” message…
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 the “DATA ERROR!.....” message.
Note
The above message always appears in English, regardless of the system
language setting.
PART 1 Getting Started
E
14
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.
THE RESET OPERATION DELETES ALL DATA IN MEMORY! DO YOU
WANT TO CONTINUE?
Press
ENTER 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.
15
E
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.
Leaving the backlight on for long periods greatly reduces battery life!
About the Power Supply
The SF Unit is powered by two 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
Caution
All data stored in memory is lost if you remove both batteries at the
same time.
Be sure that you keep a separate copy of all important data that you
store in the SF Unit.
About the Power Supply
PART 1 Getting Started
E
16
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.
The low battery message may appear even when battery power is not low if
you turn on the EL backlight under cold conditions. We recommend that you
do not use the EL backlight under cold conditions.
Actual battery life is affected by a variety of factors including battery
manufacturer, the amount of time batteries spend in storage before you use
them, and the temperature of the location where you are using the SF unit.
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.
17
E
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 two types of alarms: the Daily Alarm and Schedule 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 66).
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 42).
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
ESC to return to the
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
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 Schedule alarm set in
the Schedule Mode are set for the same time, the Schedule alarm takes
precedence. This means that the Schedule 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 60) was reached.

Data Communications
Data communications capabilities let you transfer data between two CASIO SF
Units, 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 Anniversary modes.
Data communication is supported with the following SF Unit models.
SF-4990, SF-6990, SF-7990.
Data transfer to other SF Units is possible by connecting to computer running
FA-127 Version 1.5 software.
Setting Up for Data Communications
The following describes what you should do to set up for data communications
between two SF Units, or between this unit and a personal computer.
To connect the SF-4990/SF-6990/SF-7990 to another SF 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-63 cable.
The 3-pin plug of the SB-63 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.

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 Version1.5 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 informa-
tion 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.
