About the backlight

When you switch the backlight function on, the backlight of the watch flashes whenever alarm, countdown alarm or hourly time signal is sounding.

∙Pressing D at any time illuminates the display for about two seconds, regardless of the backlight’s on/off setting.

∙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 backlight shortens the battery life.

To switch the backlight function on and off

In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down B for one or two seconds to switch the back- light function on and off. When you switch the backlight function on, an indicator appears on the display as shown.

∙The backlight function indicator remains on the display in all modes until you switch the backlight function off.

∙The above operation controls operation of the backlight function only. It does not affect operation of audible tones and signals.

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