Illumination

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

•

The auto light switch must be turned on (indicated by
the auto light switch indicator) for it to operate.

•

See “Illumination Precautions” (page E-39) for more
important information.
