• Static electricity or magnetic force can interfere with proper operation of the auto
light switch function. If the auto backlight does not illuminate, try moving the watch
back to the starting position (parallel with the ground) and then tilt it back toward
you again. If this does not work, drop your arm all the way down so it hangs at your
side, and then bring it back up again.

after turning the face of the watch towards you. This does not necessarily indicate
malfunction of the backlight.

range of 30 to 59, the seconds are reset to 00 and 1 is
added to the minutes. If the seconds setting is in the
range of 00 to 29, the minutes count is unchanged.
