About the backlight

When you switch the backlight function on, the backlight of the watch flashes whenever alarm (page E-10), countdown timer or hourly time signal is sounding.

ξPressing Din any mode illuminates the display, regardless of the backlight’s on/ off setting.

ξThe backlight of this watch employs an electro-luminescent (EL) light, which loses its illuminating power after very long term use.

ξFrequent use of the backlight shortens the battery life.

ξThe 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.

ξThe illumination provided by the backlight may be hard to see when viewed under direct sunlight.

ξThe backlight automatically stops illuminating whenever an alarm sounds.

To switch the backlight function on and off

In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down Efor about two seconds to switch the backlight function on and off. When you switch the backlight function on, an indicator appears on the display as shown.

Backlight function on indicator

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