Backlight

Auto light swich on indicator
To turn on the backlight manually
In any mode, press L to illuminate the display for about one second.
The above operation turns on the backlight regardless of the current auto light switch setting.
About the Auto Light Switch
Turning on the auto light switch causes the backlight to turn on for about one second, whenever you position your wrist as described below in any mode.
Moving the watch to a position that is parallel to the ground and then tilting it towards you more than 40 degrees causes the backlight to turn on.
Warning!
Always make sure you are in a safe place whenever you are reading the display of the watch using the auto light switch. Be especially careful when running or engaged in any other activity that can result in accident or injury. Also take care that sudden illumination by the auto light switch does not surprise or distract others around you.
When you are wearing the watch, make sure that its auto light switch is turned off before riding on a bicycle or operating a motorcycle or any other motor vehicle. Sudden and unintended operation of the auto light switch can create a distraction, which can result in a traffic accident and serious personal injury.
To turn the auto light switch on and off
In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down L for about two seconds to toggle the auto light switch on (
In order to protect against runnning down the battery, the auto light switch is automatically turned off approximately six hours after you turn it on. Repeat the above procedure to turn the auto light switch back on if you want.

The Dual Time Mode lets you keep track of time in a different time zone. You can select Standard Time or Daylight Saving Time for the Dual Time Mode time, and a simple operation lets you view the Data Bank Mode screen.
The seconds count of the Dual Time is synchronized with the seconds count of the Timekeeping Mode.
All of the operations in this section are performed in the Dual Time Mode, which you enter by pressing C.

Reference

This section contains more detailed and technical information about watch operation. It also contains important precautions and notes about the various features and functions of this watch.
Auto Display
Auto Return Features
After you perform any button operation (except for the backlight button) in any mode,
pressing C returns directly to the Timekeeping Mode.
If you leave the watch in the Data Bank Mode for two or three minutes without performing any operation, it automatically changes to the Timekeeping Mode.
If you leave a screen with flashing digits or a cursor on the display for two or three minutes without performing any operation, the watch automatically saves any settings you have made up to that point and exits the setting screen.
Scrolling
The B, C, and D buttons are used in various modes and setting screens to scroll through data on the display. In most cases, holding down these buttons during a scroll operation scrolls through the data at high speed.
Initial Screens
When you enter the Data Bank or Alarm Mode, the data you were viewing when you last exited the mode appears first.
Timekeeping
Resetting the seconds to 00 while the current count is in the range of 30 to 59 causes the minutes to be increased by 1. In the range of 00 to 29, the seconds are reset to 00 without changing the minutes.
The year can be set in the range of 2000 to 2039.
The watchs built-in full automatic calendar makes allowances for different month
lengths and leap years. Once you set the date, there should be no reason to change it except after you have the watch’s battery replaced.
Backlight Precautions
The illumination provided by the backlight may be hard to see when viewed under direct sunlight.
The backlight automatically turns off whenever an alarm sounds.
Frequent use of the backlight shortens the battery life.
Auto light switch precautions
Wearing the watch on the inside of your wrist and movement or vibration of your arm can cause the auto light switch to activate and illuminate the display. To avoid running down the battery, turn off the auto light switch whenever engaging in activities that might cause frequent illumination of the display.
More than 15 degree too high
Static electricity or magnetic force can interfere with proper operation of the auto light switch. If the backlight does not light, try moving the watch back to the starting position (parallel with the ground) and then tilt it back toward you again. If this does not work, drop your arm all the way down so it hangs at your side, and then bring it back up again.
Under certain conditions, the backlight may not light until about one second after you turn the face of the watch towards you. This does not necessarily indicate malfunction of the backlight.
