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 face when you angle the watch towards
your face.
• The auto light switch must be turned on (indicated by
the auto light switch indicator) for it to operate.
• See “Illumination Precautions” for other important
information.
To turn on illumination manually
In any mode, press L to illuminate the display for about
one second.
• 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 the display illumination to turn on for about one
second, 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 illuminate the display 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.

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
surprise 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.
