Backlight
The backlight illuminates the display. Enabling Flash Alert causes the backlight to flash while the alarm (page E-10), countdown timer alarm, or hourly time signal is sounding.
x Pressing D at any time illuminates the display regardless of the Flash Alert enabled/disabled setting.
x The backlight uses an electro-luminescent (EL) light, which loses illuminating power after very long use.
x Frequent use of the backlight shortens battery life.
x The watch will emit an audible sound whenever the display is illuminated. This is caused by a transistor that vibrates while the EL panel is lit, and does not indicate malfunction.
x Illumination provided by the backlight may be hard to see when viewed under direct sunlight.
x Display illumination will automatically turn off if an alarm starts to sound.
To enable or disable Flash Alert
In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down B for about two seconds to toggle Flash Alert between enabled and disabled. An indicator on the display shows when Flash Alert is enabled.
Flash Alert indicator
x The Flash Alert indicator is shown in all modes until you disable Flash Alert. x The above operation controls Flash Alert only. It does not affect operation of
audible tones and signals.
