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.

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.
