About the backlight
When you switch the backlight function on, the backlight of the watch flashes
whenever alarm (page E-10), countdown timer or hourly time signal is sounding.
•
Pressing
D
at any time illuminates the display, regardless of the backlight’s 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. This is
caused by a transistor that vibrates when the EL panel lights up. 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.
E-9
To switch the backlight function on and off
In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down
