BACKLIGHT
Auto light switch on indicator

The backlight uses an EL (electro-luminescent) panel that cause the entire display to glow for easy reading in the dark. The watch's auto light switch automatically turns on the backlight 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.

Moon Location Earth

Moon-UP

� The moon up time indicates when the moon will reach its highest point relative to your current location (upper transit), while the moon down time indicates when it will reach its lowest point (lower transit). Note that moon up and moon down times are accurate up to ±30 minutes.

Note � The electro-luminescent panel loses illuminating power after very long use. � The illumination provided by the backlight may be hard to see when viewed under direct sunlight. � The watch will emit an audible sound whenever the display is illuminated. This is caused by vibration of the EL panel when it is lit. It does not indicate malfunction of the watch. � The backlight automatically turns off whenever an alarm sounds.

About the Auto Light Switch
Turning on the auto light switch causes the backlight to turn on whenever you position your wrist as described below. Note that the auto light switch of this watch will operate only when available light is below a certain level. It does not turn on the backlight under bright light. � Avoid wearing the watch on the inside of your wrist. Doing so causes the auto light switch to operate when it is not needed, which shortens battery life. Moving the watch to a position that is parallel to the ground and then tilting it towards you more than 40 degrees causes the backlight to light.
