reset. The start time becomes the alarm set time. (When counted down to 
00 minute 00 second, the down timer becomes an up timer.)

- The down timer can be initially started by throttle trigger.

- The passing of time is indicated by sounding of a buzzer (beep) each 
minute after starting.

- Alarm

:A beep sounds at the set time (minute).

- Prealarm :Alarm advance announcement sound. Beeping begins 5 seconds before the alarm.(beeps)

- After starting, the timer continues to count even if the LCD switches to another screen.

Lap timer function

- Each lap time can be memorized by switch operation. (100 laps)

- The race time can be set. Switch operation after the time set by alarm 
has elapsed automatically stops the timer. The passing of time is indicat-
ed by sounding of a buzzer (beep) each minute after starting.

(LAP TIMER operation)

- The lap timer is started by switch or throttle trigger.

- Number of laps (LAP): After starting, the timer is counted up and the lap time blinks for 3 seconds 

each time the switch is pressed. To prevent erroneous counting, switch operation is not accepted 
during this period. When 1 lap exceeds 10 minutes, counting is repeated from 0.

- Lap list: Up to 10 lap times are memorized beginning from lap list 1. After lap memory "No.100", op-

eration returns to lap memory "No.1" and the lap memories are overwritten.

- The lap time data memorized in the lap memories can be checked with the lap list screen (p.92).  The 

entire lap list data is cleared the next time the lap timer is started.

- TIME: For the first 3 seconds, the preceding lap time is displayed. After that the current lap time is 

displayed.
