SNOOZE (/LIGHT) When the face of the timepiece is exposed to fluorescent light, the luminous paint stores the light, which it then
emits to glow in the dark for easy reading. The luminous paint used by this product does not use any radioactive material. It is personally and ecologically safe.
The amount of time before the glow emitted from the luminous paint starts to weaken is about five hours. This time, however, depends on the brightness and angle of the light to which it was originally exposed. OFF Since ultraviolet light charges the luminous paint, you should use this timepiece in a room illuminated by fluorescent light.
