Backlight Precautions

The backlight uses an EL (electro-luminescent) panel that causes the entire display to glow for easy reading in the dark. In any mode (except when a setting screen is on the display), press B to illuminate the display for about two seconds.

• The electro-luminescent panel that provides illumination loses power after very long

use.

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

direct sunlight.

• The watch may emit an audible sound whenever the display is illuminated. This is

due to vibration of the EL panel used for illumination, and does not indicate malfunction.

• The backlight turns off automatically whenever an alarm sounds.

• Frequent use of the backlight shortens the battery life.

Use the Timekeeping Mode to set and view the current time and date.

• Pressing A in the Timekeeping Mode will display the currently selected Home City.

• Press D to toggle between 12-hour and 24-hour formats.

• With 12-hour format, times between midnight and noon are indicated by AM, while times between noon and midnight are indicated by PM.
