Warning!
•
Always make sure you are in a safe place whenever you are reading the display of the watch
using the auto light switch. Be especially careful when running or engaged in any other activity
that can result in accident or injury. Also take care that sudden illumination by the auto light

on a bicycle or operating a motorcycle or any other motor vehicle. Sudden, unintended operation
of the auto light switch can create a distraction, which can result in a traffi c accident and serious
personal injury.

is below a certain level. Illumination does not turn on under bright light.
• The auto light switch is always disabled, regardless of its on/off setting, when any one of the following
conditions exists.
