About the Auto Light Switch
Turning on the auto light switch causes the face to illuminate, whenever you position
your wrist as described below in any mode. Note that this watch features a “Full Auto
LED 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.
•
The auto light switch is always disabled, regardless of its on/off setting, when any
one of the following conditions exists.
When an alarm is sounding
While an auto receive operation is in progress
While a button is depressed
Parallel to
ground
More than
40°
Moving the watch to a position that is parallel to the ground and then tilting it
towards you at more than 40 degrees causes illumination to turn on.
•
Wear the watch on the outside of your wrist.
Warning!
•
Always make sure you are in a safe place whenever you are reading the face
of watch using the auto light switch. Be especially careful when running or
engaged in any other activity that can result in accident or injury. Also take
care that sudden illumination by the auto light switch does not startle or
distract others around you.
•
When you are wearing the watch, make sure that its auto light switch is turned
off before riding on a bicycle, or operating a motorcycle or any other motor
vehicle. Sudden and unintended operation of the auto light switch can create a
distraction, which can result in a traffic accident and serious personal injury.
To turn the auto light switch on and off
In the Timekeeping Mode (except when a setting screen is on the display), hold down
B
for about three seconds to toggle the auto light switch on and off.
•
Turning on the auto light switch will cause the watch to beep. The “ON” indicator
(
ON
) will appear and the light will turn on for 1.5 seconds.
•
Turning off the auto light switch will cause the watch to beep. The “OFF” indicator
(
OF
) will appear for 1.5 seconds. The light will not turn on.
Power Supply
This watch is equipped with a solar cell and a special rechargeable battery (secondary
battery) that is charged by the electrical power produced by the solar cell. The
illustration shown below shows how you should position the watch for charging.
Example:
Orient the watch so its face is
pointing at a light source.
•
The illustration shows how to position
a watch with a resin band.
•
Note that charging efficiency drops
when any part of the solar cell is
blocked by clothing, etc.
•
You should try to keep the watch
outside of your sleeve as much as
possible. Even if the face of the watch
is blocked from light only partially,
charging will be reduced significantly.
