Auto light switch precautions
•
Illumination may not turn on if the face of the watch is more than
15 degrees above or below parallel. Make sure that the back of
your hand is parallel to the ground.
•
Leaving auto light enabled can run down the watch's battery due
to frequent display illumination.
•
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 towards your face 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.
•
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.
•
To protect against running down the battery, auto light switch operation
automatically disables approximately six hours after you enable it.
