Tips
Following are some ideas for using the various features of your watch.
You can always check the current time, no matter which mode you are currently using,
by pressing and holding the MODE button (as long as you’ve been in the mode for at
least a few seconds). The Time of Day display remains as long as you hold the button,
then the display returns to your previous mode when you release the button.
When entering messages in any of the modes that allow them, such as Contact, Note, or
Occasion, try to use the first eight or nine characters to identify the content. This
eliminates the need for scrolling through a long message to remember what you meant
and allows you to save memory by specifying a shorter message size.
Use one of the two other available time zones for daylight savings time or to present
the time in a different format (12-hour or 24-hour).
For an appointment on the last day of every month, make an appointment for the first
day of the month with 24-hour advance notification.
Timers can be used to notify you when to add ingredients or change temperatures when
cooking or to remind you of when to take medications.
Notes can be used to store account numbers and passwords.
Schedule mode can be used to store sports schedules, class schedules, times of sunrise
and sunset or high and low tides.
You can download more than one version of a mode. For instance, you can have
separate modes for personal and business contacts and give them different names.
Use the watch memory wisely. Longer text fields take up more memory, so that fewer
total entries can be stored. If you want the watch to hold more entries, specify the text
fields as short as possible.
