About the Auto Light Switch
While the auto light switch is enabled, illumination turns on whenever you position

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 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.

B
for about three seconds to toggle the auto
light switch on (auto light switch indicator displayed) or off (auto light switch indicator
not displayed).

In order to protect against running down the battery, the auto light switch turns off
automatically approximately six hours after you turn it on.
