3 The countdowns
The four countdowns of are very versatile and easy to
use. More specifically, they can be “linked” together or the main watch, to
manage also races with linked sectors.
Selection & programming of countdowns
In order to select a specific countdown, just press the relevant CD x
“selection key". The screen displays the type and number of CD selected in
the “ Type Selected ” area.
For example by pressing the key, you will select “ CD 1 ”.
To access the programming of the selected CD, just press .
The “ Type Selected ” group starts blinking to show that the CD operating
mode can be selected.
Four operating modes are available:
Alarm
The Alarm mode ( A , on the display) can be compared to a clock wake-up
call..
You want the “wake-up call” to sound (e.g. the countdown to get to zero) at
a specific time of the day.
Its typical use is for passing time checks.
Timer
The Timer mode ( t , on the display) is a very regular countdown.
By setting a duration, you will want the time to elapse after a specific time
from startup (manually started by pressing START/SPLIT or by using the
external remote control).
This is usually used in timed try outs.
One started, you will be able to edit “in race” the duration of the timer. In
this case the timer calculates the arrival time and displays the new residual
time.
Beep
The Beep mode ( b , on the display) is a simple resettable seconds timer.
It always counts up and times seconds and every time you press
or you operate the external remote control, it resets and
restarts immediately.
