Static electricity or magnetic force can interfere with proper operation of the auto
light switch. If illumination does not turn on, try moving the watch back to the starting
position (parallel with the ground) and then tilt it back toward you again. If this does
not work, drop your arm all the way down so it hangs at your side, and then bring it
back up again.
Under certain conditions, illumination does not turn on until about one second after
you turn the face of the watch towards you. This does not indicate malfunction.
You may notice a very faint clicking sound coming from the watch when it is shaken
back and forth. This sound is caused by mechanical operation of the auto light
switch, and does not indicate a problem with the watch.

the dark. The watch's auto light switch automatically turns
on illumination 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.
You can specify 1.5 seconds or 3 seconds as the
illumination duration.
See "Illumination Precautions" (page E-47) for other
important information about using illumination.
To turn on illumination manually
In any mode, press L to illuminate the display.
The above operation turns on illumination regardless of the current auto light switch
setting.
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.
To turn the auto light switch on and off
In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down L for about two seconds to toggle the auto light
switch on (auto light switch on indicator displayed) and off (auto light switch on
indicator not displayed).
In order to protect against runnning down the battery, the auto light switch will turn
off automatically approximately six hours after you turn it on. Repeat the above
procedure to turn the auto light switch back on if you want.
The auto light switch on indicator is on the display in all modes while the auto light
switch is turned on.

Auto light switch precautions
Wearing the watch on the inside of your wrist and movement or vibration of your arm
can cause the auto light switch to activate and illuminate the display. To avoid
running down the battery, turn off the auto light switch whenever engaging in
activities that might cause frequent illumination of the display.
Illumination may not turn on if the face of the watch is
More than 15 degree
too high
more than 15 degrees above or below parallel. Make
