functions of this watch.

the entire display to glow for easy reading in the dark.
In any mode, press B to illuminate the display for about one second.
• The illumination provided by the backlight may be hard to see when viewed under
direct sunlight.
• The backlight automatically stops illuminating whenever an alarm sounds.
