Backlight Precautions
The backlight uses an EL (electro-luminescent) panel that causes the entire display to
glow for easy reading in the dark. In any mode (except when a setting screen is on the
display), press
B
to illuminate the display for about two seconds.
•
The electro-luminescent panel that provides illumination loses power after very long
use.
•
The illumination provided by the backlight may be hard to see when viewed under
direct sunlight.
•
The watch may emit an audible sound whenever the display is illuminated. This is
due to vibration of the EL panel used for illumination, and does not indicate
malfunction.
•
The backlight turns off automatically whenever an alarm sounds.
•
Frequent use of the backlight shortens the battery life.
