Illumination

The 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 automatically
illuminates the display 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” for other important

information about using illumination.

To turn on illumination manually

In any mode, press L to illuminate the display.

• You can specify 1.5 seconds or 3 seconds as the

illumination duration. See “To specify the illumination
duration” for more information.

• The above operation turns on illumination regardless of

the current auto light switch setting.

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.

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.

More than
40°

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 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.
