Illumination

Two LEDs (light-emitting diode) illuminate the display for Auto light switch indicator easy reading in the dark. The watch’s auto light switch

turns on illumination automatically when you angle the watch towards your face for reading.

The auto light switch must be turned on (indicated by

the auto light switch indicator) for it to operate.

See “Illumination Precautions” for more important information.

To illuminate the display

In any mode (except when a setting screen is on the display), press B to turn on illumination.

The above operation turns on illumination regardless of the current auto light switch setting.

About the Auto Light Switch

While the auto light switch is enabled, illumination turns on whenever you position your wrist as described below in any mode.

Moving the watch to a position that is parallel to the ground and then tilting it towards you at more than 40 degrees causes illumination to turn on.

Wear the watch on the outside of your wrist.

Parallel to ground

More than 40 °

 

Warning!

Always make sure you are in a safe place whenever you are reading the watch using the auto light switch. Be especially careful when running or engaged in any other activity that can result in accident or injury. Also take care that sudden illumination by the auto light switch does not startle or distract others around you.

When you are wearing the watch, make sure that its auto light switch is turned off before riding on a bicycle or operating a motorcycle or any other motor vehicle. Sudden and unintended operation of the auto light switch can create a distraction, which can result in a traffic accident and serious personal injury.

To turn the auto light switch on and off

In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down Bfor about three seconds to toggle the auto light switch on (auto light switch indicator displayed) or off (auto light switch indicator not displayed).

The auto light switch indicator is on the display in all modes while the auto light switch is turned on.

In order to protect against running down the battery, the auto light switch turns off automatically approximately six hours after you turn it on.

Auto Zoom

In any mode besides the Edit Mode (and except while any setting screen is displayed and while an icon is displayed immediately after entering a mode), angling the watch towards your face for viewing will cause the figures in the main display area to enlarge automatically.

The figures will return to normal size after about two seconds or if you perform any button operation.

For more information about the arm position that triggers Auto Zoom, see “About the Auto Light Switch”.
