Backlight Precautions
The backlight uses an EL (electro-luminescent) panel that causes the entire display to
glow for easy reading in the dark.
· The electro-luminescent panel that provides illumination loses power after very long
use.
· The illumination provided by the backlight may be hard to see when viewed under
direct sunlight.
· The watch may emit an audible sound whenever the display is illuminated. This is
due to vibration of the EL panel used for illumination, and does not indicate
malfunction.
· Frequent use of the backlight shortens the battery life.
