Abstract

See full text

An electronic device including a submersion detector, illuminants, a lighting circuit, a controller, and an orientation detector. The submersion detector detects submersion of the device and detect retrieval of the device. The illuminants are arranged inside a casing such that at least one of the illuminants is visible from above water when the device is submerged in any submersion orientation. The lighting circuit lights up at least one of the illuminants in response to an input of a lighting signal. The controller generates and outputs the lighting signal to the lighting circuit for a period of time from the submersion at least until the retrieval so as to light up the at least one of the illuminants. The orientation detector detects a submersion orientation of the device. Only the at least one of the illuminants that is visible from above water lights up, in accordance with the detected submersion orientation.
