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, press L 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.
