About the Auto Light Switch
Turning on the auto light switch causes illumination to turn on whenever you
position your wrist as described below in any mode. Note that this watch
features a “Full Auto EL Light,” so the auto light switch operates only when
available light is below a certain level. It does not illuminate the display under
bright light.
Moving the watch to a position that is parallel to the ground and then tilting
it towards your face at more than 40 degrees causes illumination to turn on.
•
Wear the watch on the outside of your wrist.
