Casio Illuminator watches tell you the time regardless of how dark it is with a backlight that can be automatically or manually illuminated. When you receive your watch, you might have questions about how to set the time and work the backlight. You'll want to have your watch properly set and ready to use before strapping it to your wrist and relying on it throughout the day. Following some steps and performing your own device set-up will have your watch working effectively in little time with little fuss.

When the lower button "B" (located on the left side of the watch) is pushed, different time fields appear in this order: "Seconds," "DST (Daylight Savings Time)," "Hour," "Minutes," "Day," "Month," "Year" and "12/24."
