About the backlight
When you switch the backlight function on, the backlight of the watch flashes whenever a daily
alarm or countdown alarm is sounding, or when various signals are sounded in the Stopwatch and
Alarm Modes. For details of each of these operations, see the applicable sections of this manual.
• The backlight of this watch employs an electro-luminescent (EL) light, which loses its illuminating
power after very long term use.
To switch the backlight function on and off
In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down B for one or two seconds to switch the backlight function on
and off.
