operation. It also contains important precautions and notes about the various
features and functions of this watch.

Backlight Precautions
The backlight uses an LED (light-emitting diode) and a light guide panel that
cause the entire display to glow for easy reading in the dark.
In any mode, press B to illuminate the display for about one second.
- 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.
- Frequent use of the backlight shortens the battery life.
