Illumination
This watch has an EL (electro-luminescent) panel that causes the entire display to
glow for easy reading in the dark. In any mode, press
L

about one second
.
Illumination Precautions
•
The electro-luminescent panel that provides illumination loses power after very long
use.
•
Illumination 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.
•
Illumination turns off automatically whenever an alarm sounds.
•
Frequent use of illumination runs down the battery.
Troubleshooting
The watch does not count my steps.
•
The watch maintains a step count only while a stopwatch elapsed time operation is
in progress. Steps are not counted while the stopwatch is stopped (display showing
all zeros or a timing paused).
: SENSOR indicator appears on the display while the stopwatch is
performing an elapsed time measureme
are being counted.
