My AFX2 sucks up four batteries in a week!!!

Since I owned it, my AFX2 always worked
fine. Whit the 4 AAA batteries, I used
to work for over 6 months. In the last
month, however, my AFX started to drain
4AAA batteries per week. I'm not using
it more than before and I don't
understant why it actually drains the
main batteries so fast (It always asks
to change the main batteries, never the
backup one). I've check'd if the auto
power off feature works, and it works
ok (6minutes), i never forget to turn
it off ecc... Anyone knows what's happening?

But in any case, what you're saying isn't common. You'd better drop a line to casio.

Do you have other problems in your calc?
I have one AFX2 with that problem, but in that machine the only thing that works fine is the main screen! (flash memory "blew up" , last week that machine hanged up when i tried 1+1. no kidding this is 100% true! ...hum that gave me an idea...hum wait until my next post )

that's because you've modified your system flash zone using FC or FE to add icons in the main menu.last week that machine hanged up when i tried 1+1. no kidding this is 100% true! ...

Nope, no cheap batteries. Actually, the last "martirs" were 4 Duracell Plus... Other bad thing: I think something in the power management system has blow up: I bought four new batteries and, after replacing the old ones, it still sais "Main batteries low". I've tried every kind of reset!!!I know this problem from my portable cd-player. Always be sure to use "Alkaline" batteries (duracell, for example). Do not use the cheap ones. Just buy the same type like you had previously (with the 6 months life). Also rechargable batteries with only 1.2V are no good choice.

Well I use NiMh 700mah 1.2V and it works during about 1 month (or more) and then I re-charge the batteries in 2 hours.I know this problem from my portable cd-player. Always be sure to use "Alkaline" batteries (duracell, for example). Do not use the cheap ones. Just buy the same type like you had previously (with the 6 months life).

they are the best choice! they cost first more but if you recharge them sometimes they are cheaper than batteries.Also rechargable batteries with only 1.2V are no good choice.
only Ni-CD have memory-effect, NiMH not anymore.

...No i didn't. But does that really happen wen we use casio's Iconizer? (and how can people fix that? a full reset??...with some modifications in a backup file? ...with Touch??)that's because you've modified your system flash zone using FC or FE to add icons in the main menu.

Yes you have to do a full reset to make it works again.

(sometimes i can be really dum!)
If a full reset doesn't work (and your calc sucks a lot of batteries) and nothing elese works on the calc..you have the same problem i have with my afx 2.0 ( FE never worked with my computer/calc , but i think my problems started before i used flashcom...i cant swear, but i'm 75% sure)

Hmm.. the uploading process uses about the same amount of energy as any other activity...If you are uploading a lot to your flash, your calc. will drain a lot more power. Befor I uploaded any programs to the flash I used the same batteries for 8 months.
Perhaps you just started to use your calc more after you uploaded files?
