About the backlight
When you switch the backlight function on, the backlight of the watch flashes whenever the alarm (page E-10), countdown timer, or hourly time signal is sounding.
- Pressing D at any time illuminates the display, regardless of the backlight’s on/off setting.
- The backlight of this watch employs an electro-luminescent (EL) light, which loses its illuminating power after very long-term use.
- Frequent use of the backlight shortens the battery life.
- The 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 a malfunction of the watch.
- The illumination provided by the backlight may be hard to see when viewed under direct sunlight.
- The backlight automatically stops illuminating whenever an alarm sounds.

backlight function on and off. When you switch the backlight function on, an

on the display as shown.

- The above operation controls the operation of the backlight function only. It does not affect the operation of audible tones and signals.
