Auto light switch precautions

Wearing the watch on the inside of your wrist, movement of your arm, or vibration of
your arm can cause frequent activation of the auto light switch and illumination of
the display. To avoid running down the battery, turn off the auto light switch whenever
engaging in activities that might cause frequent illumination of the display.

Note that wearing the watch under your sleeve while the auto light switch is turned
on can cause frequent illumination of the display and can run down the battery.

The backlight may not light if the face of the watch is
more than 15 degrees above or below parallel. Make
sure that the back of your hand is parallel to the ground.

The backlight turns off after about one second, even if
you keep the watch pointed towards your face.

Static electricity or magnetic force can interfere with
proper operation of the auto light switch. If the backlight
does not light, try moving the watch back to the starting
position (parallel with the ground) and then tilt it back
toward you again. If this does not work, drop your arm
all the way down so it hangs at your side, and then bring
it back up again.

Under certain conditions, the backlight may not light until about one second after you
turn the face of the watch towards you. This does not necessarily indicate
malfunction of the backlight.

You may notice a very faint clicking sound coming from the watch when it is shaken
back and forth. This sound is caused by mechanical operation of the auto light
switch, and does not indicate a problem with the watch.
