About the backlight

In any mode, press C to illuminate the display for about two seconds.

The backlight of the watch employs an electro-luminescent (EL) light, which loses illuminating power after very long use.

•

The illumination provided by the backlight may be hard to see when viewed under direct sunlight.

•

The watch will emit an audible sound whenever the display is illuminated. This is caused by a transformer that vibrates when the EL panel lights up. It does not

• indicate malfunction of the watch.

If the alarm time you set in the Alarm Mode is reached while the backlight is turned on, the alarm tone will not start to sound until the backlight turns off.
