Warning!
x Always make sure you are in a safe place whenever you are looking at 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 switch does not startle or
distract others around you.
x When you are wearing the watch, make sure that its auto light switch is
disabled before riding on a bicycle or operating a motorcycle or any other
motor vehicle. Sudden and unintended operation of the auto light switch
can create a distraction, which can result in a traffic accident and serious
personal injury.
Note
x This watch features a Full Auto LED, so the auto light switch turns on illumination
only when available light is below a certain level. It does not turn on illumination if
surrounding light is bright.
