ABOUT THE BACKLIGHT
About the Auto Light Switch Function
When the auto light switch function is turned on, the backlight automatically turns on
for two seconds under the conditions described below. Avoid wearing the watch on the
inside of your wrist. Doing so causes the backlight to operate when not needed, which
shortens battery life.
Parallel to
ground
40°
• The backlight may not illuminate if the face of the watch is more than 15 degrees off
parallel to the left or right. Make sure that the back of your hand is parallel to the
ground.
• Static electricity or magnetic force can interfere with proper operation of the auto
light switch function. If the backlight does not illuminate, try moving the watch back to
the starting position (parallel with the ground) and then tilt it back toward you again.
If this does not work, drop your arm all the way down so it hangs at your side, and
then bring it back up again.
• Under certain conditions the backlight may not light until about one second or less
after turn the face of the watch towards you. This does not necessarily indicate
malfunction of the backlight.

above procedure to turn the auto light switch function back on if you want.

Caution
• 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 backligfht shortens the battery life.
• The watch emits an audible sound whenever the display is illuminated. This is because the
EL light vibrates slightly when lit. It does not indicate malfunction of the watch.
Warning!
• Never try to read your watch when mountain climbing or hiking in areas that are dark
or in areas with poor footing. Doing so is dangerous and can result in serious
personal injury.
• Never try to read your watch when running on a roadside or in any other location
where there might be vehicular or pedestrian traffic. Doing so is dangerous and can
result in serious personal injury.
• Never try to read your watch when riding on a bicycle or when operating a motorcycle
or any other motor vehicle. Doing so is dangerous and can result in a traffic accident
and serious personal injury.
• When you are wearing the watch, make sure that its auto light switch function is turned
off before riding on a bicycle or operating a motorcycle or any other motor vehicle.
Sudden and unintended operation of the backlight can create a distraction, which can
result in a traffic accident and serious personal injury.
