The backlight automatically turns off whenever an alarm sounds.

illuminating power after very long use.

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

The watch will emit an audible sound whenever the display is illuminated. This is
caused by a transistor that vibrates while the EL panel is lit. It does not indicate
malfunction of the watch.
