About the backlight
In any mode, press B to illuminate the display for about two seconds.
• The backlight of the watch employs an electro-luminescent (EL) light, which 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 transistor 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.

may not be provided when more than one recording is stored in voice memory (due to
memory used up by memory partitioning).

other sounds. You can also clear recordings when you no
longer need them.

Recording Duration
The watch has enough voice memory for up to 30 seconds
of sound data. You can make one recording 30 seconds
long, or up to five recordings that total up to 30 seconds.
Whenever you make a recording, the sound data is stored
together with the date and time that the recording operation
began.

• Once voice memory is full, you will not be able to record any more until you clear all
existing data.
• It is always a good idea to check the number of recordings already in voice memory
and the voice memory’s remaining capacity before starting a new recording.
• Recordings may overlap slightly when more than one recording is stored in voice
memory. To avoid this problem, it is recommended that you pause slightly before starting a recording that comes after an existing recording.
• All alarms (including the hourly time signal and Countdown Alarm) are temporarily
turned off while a recording operation is being performed. Any alarm that occurs during
a recording operation will sound after the recording operation is complete.
• If playback produces a sound that is broken or unclear, try changing the distance
between the source of the sound and the microphone. Good results can normally be
obtained by speaking clearly in a normal voice with about 5cm (2 inches) between
your mouth and the microphone.
