Reference
This section contains more detailed and technical information about watch operation.
It also contains important precautions and notes about the various features and
functions of this watch.
Auto Display
The Auto Display feature of this watch automatically
cycles through the available color patterns.

Press any button to turn off Auto Display.
Doing so also performs the corresponding button function
as described below.
A or B : Enters the Timekeeping Mode.
C : Enters the Telememo Mode.
D : Toggles between 12-hour and 24-hour formats.

• Turning off Auto Display also returns to the default color
pattern.
To turn on Auto Display
Hold down C for about two seconds until the watch beeps.
• Note that Auto Display cannot be performed while a setting screen is on the display.
Auto Return Features
• If you leave the watch in the Telememo Mode for two or three minutes without
performing any operation, it automatically changes to the Timekeeping Mode.
• If you leave a screen with flashing digits or a cursor on the display for two or three
minutes without performing any operation, the watch automatically saves any
settings you have made up to that point and exits the setting screen.
Data and Setting Scrolling
The B and D buttons are used in various modes and setting screens to scroll
through data on the display. In most cases, holding down these buttons during a scroll
operation scrolls through the data at high speed.
Initial Screens
When you enter the Telememo or Alarm Mode, the data you were viewing when you
last exited the mode appears first.
Backlight Precautions
The backlight uses an EL (electro-luminescent) panel that causes the entire display to
glow for easy reading in the dark.
In any mode, press
L to illuminate the display for about two seconds.
• 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.
• The backlight automatically turns off whenever an alarm sounds.
• Frequent use of the backlight shortens the battery life.
