GENERAL GUIDE

� Press C to change from mode to mode. � In any mode (except when making countdown alarm settings) press D to illuminate the digital display. Caution � The backlight of this watch employs an electro-luminescent (EL) light, which loses its illuminating power after very long term use. � Frequent use of the backligfht shortens the battery life. � The watch emits an audible sound whenever the display is illuminated. This is because the EL light vibrates slightly when lit. It does not indicate malfunction of the watch. Timekeeping Mode
