SECTION 8 – USING THE COUNTDOWN TIMER
The countdown timer can be used to enter one or more (up to 9) intervals
of up to 99 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds, to allow a pattern of
intervals to be repeated 1-9 times or continuously, and to start the
chronograph at the end of the countdown(s).
For example, you can set a single interval of a selected length to let you
know by the signal that the time has elapsed. You can set a series of
intervals to count down to the beginning of an event, with the chronograph
set to start after the last interval. You can set multiple or continuous
repetitions of target training intervals during which you want to perform
some exercise or reach some distance mark for warm-up, jogging,
running, cycling, or swimming.
From Time/Calendar mode, press S5 twice to enter Timer
mode. TIMER appears on the display for 2 seconds and then a
display showing the number of repetitions and intervals
programmed, if any.
The first time you enter Timer mode, the screen will show
REPS 1 (repetition 1), 0:00.00 (meaning that no time has been
set for any interval), and the legend INT 0/0 (interval number 0
of 0 – which will change as you enter your choices).
Press S4 to enter Timer Set mode. You’ll see SET NO. OF
REPS and the flashing number 1. You can increase the number
of repetitions by pressing S1, and decrease the number by
pressing S2. This sets the number of times the interval pattern (which you
will set next) will be repeated. You can set the number of repetitions from 1
to 9, or C for continuous. If you leave the number of repetitions at one,
CDS (for Countdown Stop) will appear on the flag line of the display. CDR
(for Countdown Repeat) appears if you set more than one repetition.
Press S3 (forward) or S5 (reverse) to select the next choice.
The display will show YES-NO CHRONO AT END, with NO
flashing. If you wish to have the chronograph automatically
start after the last repetition of countdown intervals, press S1 or S2. The
CDC (Countdown Chrono) flag will appear upon exit from Timer Set mode.
NOTE: If you selected C for continuous countdowns previously, this option
will not appear as the countdowns will never end to allow the starting of the
chronograph. Also note that this option cannot be used if the chronograph
is running: the display will read CHRONO IN USE to inform you. The
chronograph must be reset before going into Timer Set mode.
The next screen to appear when you press S3 or S5 will read
INT 1 0:00.00 SET INT, allowing you to set the first interval.
The 1 will be flashing, if you have more than one interval to set,
you can press S1 to increase the interval number (or S2 to decrease it) so
as to change any interval setting.
Press S3 and the HOURS will begin flashing. Set the hours by
pressing S1 to increase the setting or S2 to decrease the
setting (holding down the button will advance/reverse the digits
rapidly). It is often faster to reach your setting by decreasing the digits than
by increasing them (for example, from 0 hours to 75).
Press S3 to select MINUTES (they will begin flashing) and set them in the
same manner. Press S3 one more time and SECONDS will flash, so you
can set them. Note that you can reverse the order in which the digits flash
by using the S5 button (for example, to move from SECONDS back to
MINUTES).
You can take additional lap readings by pressing S3 repeatedly.
If you take a another lap reading before the ten second delay,
the new lap and split times are still measured and displayed.
Each time you take a lap reading and a new lap starts, the legend at the
bottom of the screen changes (S-1 L-2).
To Stop, Pause: During lap timing, you can end your segment or take “time
out” on the current lap by pressing S2. This will stop your chronograph, but
it will not end your chance to take lap readings for that segment. To restart
the chronograph from where you left off, press S3.
SECTION 7 – HOW TO STORE, DELETE AND RECALL
LAP AND SEGMENT TIMES
To Store, Delete Times: When you press S2 at the end of a
segment (remember that you can stop temporarily within a
lap), you can store the results of that segment by pressing S2
again. The screen will show HOLD-TO STORE and, if you hold
the button for 2 more seconds, the segment, with as many laps as you
have timed, will be stored.
If you press S2 again, the display will prompt you to HOLD-TO
CLEAR with the segment number beneath; holding for an
additional 2 seconds clears that segment. If you have stored
more than one segment and you continue to hold S2, HOLD-TO CLEAR
ALL SEGS appears, and 2 seconds later, all chronograph memory is
erased.
NOTE: If you decide not to retain the information from a just-recorded
segment, you must first store it before it can be erased. You can not
delete individual laps, but only entire segments.
In Chrono mode you can determine the status of available lap memory by
pressing S4. If your current segment exceeds the amount of free memory
(100 laps maximum), you will not be able to store it and pressing S2 will
bring up the HOLD-TO CLEAR message.
To Recall Times: In Chrono mode
only,
you can recall stored
segment results. Press S1 to recall the recorded times for the
most recent segment. First, the day and date of the segment,
the total elapsed time, and the segment number will de
displayed. Pressing S1 repeatedly will bring up the average lap
time, the best lap time, and the individual lap times in
ascending order for that segment. The next press of S1 brings you back to
the segment total.
If you are recalling a segment currently being timed (and not stored), the
lap times will be displayed in descending order for review.
While in Chrono Recall mode, select other segments by
pressing S5. Each press reduces the segment number by one,
and after S-1, another press of S5 brings up the most recent
(highest numbered) segment. At any time, you can delete the
most recently stored segment by pressing and holding S2.
While in Chrono Recall mode, S2 and S3 will operate for an
active chronograph as described earlier (you can take lap times,
or pause/stop the chronograph) and the display will
automatically change from Chrono Recall mode to Chrono
mode. Press S4 to exit Chrono Recall mode, or, if you do nothing while in
Chrono Recall mode, the display will switch to Chrono mode after 15
seconds.
