Backlight Precautions
•The
•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 automatically turns off whenever an alarm sounds.
•Frequent use of the backlight shortens the battery operating time.
Auto light switch precautions
•Wearing the watch on the inside of your wrist, as well as movement or vibration of your arm can cause the auto light switch to activate and illuminate the display. To avoid running down the battery, turn off the auto light switch whenever engaging in activities that might cause frequent illumination of the display.
•Note that wearing the watch under your sleeve while the auto light switch is turned on can cause frequent illumination of the display and can run down the battery.
•The backlight may not light if the face of the watch is
More than 15 degrees | more than 15 degrees above or below parallel. Make |
too high | sure that the back of your hand is parallel to the ground. |
| • The backlight turns off in about one second, even if you |
| keep the watch pointed towards your face. |
| • Static electricity or magnetic force can interfere with |
| proper operation of the auto light switch. If the backlight |
| does not light, try moving the watch back to the starting |
| position (parallel with the ground) and then tilt it back |
| towards 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 after you turn the face of the watch towards you. This does not necessarily indicate malfunction of the backlight.
•You may notice a very faint clicking sound coming from the watch when it is shaken back and forth. This sound is caused by mechanical operation of the auto light switch, and does not indicate a problem with the watch.
