Daylight Saving Time (DST), which is also sometimes called Ňsummer time
advances the time for one hour, as is the custom in some areas during the summer.
Remember that not all countries or even local areas use Daylight Saving Time.
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 three 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.

The display can show only three name characters at a time. Longer names scrolls
continuously from right to left. The symbol Ň indicates that the character to the left
is the last, and the character to the right is the first.
The number area can show up to six digits at one time. If a number has more than
six digits, the display automatically switched between the first six digits (counting
forward from the first digit) and the last six digits (counting backward from the last
digit) of the number. This means that if a number is 12 digits long, the number area
switches between the first six digits and the last six digits. If a number is seven digits
long, the number area switches between digits 1 through 6, and 2 through 7.
