The animation area of the Timekeeping Mode normally shows the current date’s moon phase. Different animated figures appear at 00 and 30 seconds.

• The moon phase shown in the animation area is that as viewed on the current date from a point in the northern hemisphere looking south. Note that the left-right orien- tation of the moon phase shown on the display may dif-

fer from that of the actual moon.

• The left-right orientation of the moon phase is reversed when viewing from the southern hemisphere or from a point near the equator.

• Note that the moon phase is based on the date as set in the Timekeeping Mode. The moon phase will not be correct if the date is not set correctly.

• The stars in the animation area twinkle with each passing second.

• The accuracy of moon age calculations by this watch is ±2 days.

• The following shows how the different moon phases are represented in the anima- tion area.

About the backlight

A backlight that uses an EL (electro-luminescent) panel causes the entire display to glow for easy reading in the dark. Depending on the mode, pressing E or B turns on the backlight for about three seconds. See the sections that cover each mode for information on whether you should press E or B.

•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.

•The backlight automatically turns off whenever an alarm sounds.
