About the backlight
In any mode, press to illuminate the display for about three seconds.
In the Timekeeping Mode, animated figures appear in the animation area whenever
the backlight is turned on.
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.
About animated figures
The following are the animated figures that appear in each mode.
Rotating Globe
This figure appears after you have been in the Timekeeping Mode
or World Time Mode. Occasionally an airplane or a flying saucer
appears.
Dances of the World
Dancing figures appear whenever you press or in the Timekeeping Mode. There are two dances for each day of the week.
However, the dance for another day of the week may appear.
Ostrich
The ostrich appears whenever you are in the Stopwatch Mode,
and runs while a stopwatch timing operation is being performed.
Alarm Clock
This figure appears whenever an alarm time is reached in any
mode except the Stopwatch Mode.

other.

the World Time Mode, the settings of all other cities are
changed accordingly.
