dark.
Illumination Precautions

loses power after very long use.
x Illumination may be hard to see when viewed under
direct sunlight.
x 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.

sounds.
