BACKLIGHT

The backlight uses an EL (electro-luminescent) panel that causes the entire display to glow for easy reading in the dark. An EL alarm feature can be turned on so the backlight flashes whenever an alarm or hourly time signal sounds.

• Pressing

E in any mode illuminates the display for about two seconds, regardless

of the EL alarm on/off setting.

• The backlight of this watch employs an electro-luminescent (EL) light, which loses

its illuminating power after very long term use.

• Frequent use of the backlight shortens the battery life.

• The watch will emit an audible sound whenever the display is illuminated. It does not

indicate malfunction of the watch.

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

direct sunlight.

• The backlight automatically stops illuminating whenever an alarm sounds.
