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.

???The watch will emit an audible sound whenever the display is illuminated. This is caused by a transistor that vibrates when the EL panel lights up. It does not indicate malfunction of the watch.
