About the Auto Light Switch

Turning on the auto light switch causes the backlight to turn on for about two seconds, whenever you position your wrist as described below in any mode.

• See “Backlight Precautions” for other important information about using the backlight.

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 light.

The backlight uses an EL (electro-luminescent) panel that causes the entire display to glow for easy reading in the dark. The watch’s auto light switch automatically turns on the backlight when you angle the watch towards your face.

• The auto light switch must be turned on (indicated by

the auto light switch on indicator) for it to operate.
