About the backlight

The backlight uses an EL (electro-luminescent) panel that causes the entire display to glow for easy reading in the dark. Pressing L (LIGHT) in any mode turns on the EL backlight for about three seconds.

• The backlight remains lit for about three seconds from the point you press L, even if it is already lit when you press L. If you keep depressed for three seconds, the backlight will automatically turn off.

• Pressing L lights the backlight and causes a 10-second animation to play.

• The electro-luminescent panel loses illuminating power after very long use.

• The illumination provided by the backlight may be hard to see when viewed under

direct sunlight.

• The watch will emit an audible sound whenever the display is illuminated. This is caused by a transformer that vibrates when the EL panel lights up. It does not indicate malfunction of the watch.

• The backlight automatically turns off whenever an alarm sounds or a paging operation is performed.

VIVCEL

The VIVCEL function performs a vibration paging operation when your cell phone receives a call. The vibration paging operation lasts for up to 10 seconds, or until you press any watch button.

VIVCEL Settings

The following explains the settings you need to make to use the VIVCEL functions. See “To make VIVCEL settings” for details on actually making the settings.

Cell Phone System

VIVCEL can be used with cell phones only. It cannot be used with other (non-cell) telephones. Cell phone system compatibility depends on your watch’s “module” number, which can be found on its back cover. The following shows telephone system compatibility for each module.

phone switching

• See the documentation that comes with your cell phone for information about which type it is.

• Module 1507 may not be compatible with certain non-GSM network phone systems.

Paging Interval

Presetting a start time and end time defines the “paging interval”. VIVCEL is activated each day during the paging interval and deactivated outside the paging interval (as long as VIVCEL is turned on). You can specify the hour only for these times, within the range of 1 (1 o’clock) to 24 (midnight).

Sensitivity

The VIVCEL paging function operates by picking up signals from your cell phone. The sensitivity setting determines how close a cell phone has to be from the watch for it to pick up these signals.

animation area between the day of the week and the paging interval.

• The paging interval is indicated by a bar graph in the animation area. The nearby illustration indicates a paging interval of 10 am to 11 pm.

• VIVCEL automatically activates and deactivates

during the defined paging interval.

Manual VIVCEL Activation

Press R in the Timekeeping Mode to add two to the current paging interval hour and round the minutes digits to zero. This means that if it is 10:58 p.m. when you press R, the paging interval is extended up to 00:00 a.m. Each press of R adds two hours, up to a total of eight hours.

• Pressing R while VIVCEL is deactivated (outside the paging period), activates VIVCEL. The watch vibrates when VIVCEL is activated.

• The R button can be used to extend the paging interval for up to eight hours (four R button operations).

• Any extension of the paging interval with the R button is automatically cancelled whenever you turn off VIVCEL or change any of its settings.

VIVCEL Precautions

• Since VIVCEL operates by picking up signals from your cell phone, a paging operation may also be triggered by an outgoing call or even while a call is in progress. A paging operation can also be triggered by another cell phone or other device operating on the same frequency as your cell phone.

• Any of the following conditions can cause interference with VIVCEL paging operations.

Obstruction between the watch and cell phone Sensitivity set to Use with a non-compatible telephone system

• Frequent use of VIVCEL paging can shorten battery life.

• Turn off VIVCEL before operating a motor vehicle or bicycle to avoid the

chance of accident caused by a paging operation while operating a vehicle.
