Timer 1

Dual timers can be set with two different starting times. The watch can be configured so the two timers alternate, so when one reaches the end of its countdown, the other timer starts. You can specify a “number of repeats” value, which controls how many times the two-timer countdown operation is performed (1 = once, 2 = twice, etc.) The starting time of each timer can be set in five-second steps up to 99 minutes, 55 seconds.

You can specify up to 10 repeats. The watch emits a short beep whenever either of the timers reaches the end of its countdown during an ongoing timer operation. The watch emits a 5-second beep when the end of the final timer operation (specified by the number of repeats) is reached.

Auto light switch on indicator

E-53

This watch has an EL (electro-luminescent) panel that causes the entire display to glow for easy reading in the dark. The watch’s auto light switch turns on illumination automatically when you angle the watch towards your face.

The auto light switch must be turned on (indicated by the auto light switch on indicator) for it to operate.

See “Illumination Precautions” (page E-91) for other important information about using illumination.

To illuminate the display manually

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

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

E-55

You can use the procedure below to select either 1.5 seconds or 3 seconds as the illumination duration. When you press B, the illumination will remain on for about 1.5 seconds or 3 seconds, depending on the current illumination duration setting.

To specify the illumination duration

About the Auto Light Switch

Turning on the auto light switch causes illumination to turn on, whenever you position your wrist as described below in any mode. Note that this watch features a “Full Auto EL Light”, so the auto light switch operates only when available light is below a certain level. It does not turn on the backlight under bright light.

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

Wear the watch on the outside of your wrist.

Warning!

Always make sure you are in a safe place whenever you are reading the display of 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 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 B for about three seconds to toggle the auto light switch on (auto light switch on indicator displayed) and off (auto light switch on indicator not displayed).

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

Power Supply

This watch is equipped with a solar cell and a rechargeable battery that is charged by the electrical power produced by the solar cell. The illustration shown below shows how you should position the watch for charging.

Example: Orient the watch so its face is

Solar cell

pointing at a light source.

 

The illustration shows how to position a

 

watch with a resin band.

 

Note that charging efficiency drops when

 

any part of the solar cell is blocked by

 

clothing, etc.

 

You should try to keep the watch outside of

your sleeve as much as possible. Charging is reduced significantly if the face is covered only partially.
