About the backlight
The backlight uses an EL (electro-luminescent) panel that causes the entire display to
glow for easy reading in the dark. An EL alarm feature can be turned on so the
backlight flashes whenever an alarm or hourly time signal sounds.
· Pressing L in any mode turns on the EL backlight for about two seconds.
· If an alarm starts to sound while the backlight is lit after you press L, the backlight
will either turn off (if the EL alarm feature is turned off) or start to flash (if the EL
alarm feature is turned on).
· 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.
To turn the EL alarm on and off
In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down
B for about two seconds to toggle the EL alarm
on (
indicator displayed) and off (
indicator not displayed).
· The
indicator is on the display in all modes while the EL alarm is turned on.
STOPWATCH MODE
The Stopwatch Mode lets you measure elapsed time, lap
times, and split times. Time is measured with 1/100 of a
second accuracy. You can also store up to 10 lap and split
times in memory.
· The lap time appears in the upper part of the display.
You can use this function to time how long it takes to
complete a specific portion (such as a single lap) of a
race.
· The split time appears in the lower part of the display.
You can use this function to time how long it takes to get
from the start to a specific point in a race.

Whenever you perform a lap/split time operation, the measured times are automatically

times in memory.
If you perform more than 10 lap/split time operations, the memory will contain the
times for the first 9 laps/splits (as lap/split numbers 1 through 9), and the final lap and
split time (as lap/split 10).
