You should use the voice memory of this watch either as a voice memo or as voice
alarm contents. The watch automatically use the standard beeper alarm whenever
there is nothing stored in voice memory. Deleting voice memory contents while the
voice alarm is turned on automatically switches to the standard beeper alarm.
•
When the voice alarm is turned on, all voice memory contents are played back in
sequence, starting from the lowest numbered (oldest) voice memory area.
•
When an alarm time is reached while the voice alarm is turned on, the standard beeper
alarm sounds for about one second and then voice memory contents are played.
•
The alarm operation (standard beeper alarm followed by voice memory contents) plays
all voice memory contents only once. This means the shortest possible alarm opera-
tion is two seconds long, while the longest possible operation is 30 seconds long.
