After the assigned switch is activated, the stopwatch
starts at the initial value set and runs backward
(“countdown clock function”). Once the timer reaches
zero it does not stop, but continues to run to enable
you to read off the time elapsed after it reached 0:00.
To make this absolutely clear, the timer is shown
highlighted.
“Alarm” timer
The “Alarm” column is accessed by moving the
marker frame to the right with the

selection key
of the left or right four-way button until it is over the
column labeled “Alarm”. In the “Alarm” column a time
between 5 and 90 seconds (in 5-second increments)
can be defined. This is the amount of time the timer is
to count down before issuing an acoustic signal. This
eliminates the need to repeatedly check the display
continually during the flight, for example:
Alarm

1:23h

A simultaneous tap on the

keys of the
right four-way button (CLEAR) will reset any settings
made back to “0 s”.
Audible signal sequence
30 s before zero: Triple beep
Single beep every two seconds
20 s before zero: Double beep
Single beep every two seconds
10 s before zero: Single beep
Single beep every second
5 s before zero: every second a single beep at a
higher frequency
zero: longer beep signal and changeo-
ver of display presentation to
inverse video
Resetting suspended timers
In the case of timers which were previously halted,
they are reset to the programmed Start value in the
base display by simultaneously pressing the

or

buttons of the right-hand four-way button
(CLEAR).
Notes:
• Timers that are running backwards are shown on
the basic display with a flashing colon (:) between
the minutes and the seconds fields.
• A typical application, “Timer activation via the C1
stick”, can be found on page 294.
• An interim timer function change becomes active
after timer/s have been suspended and subse-
quently reset by a simultaneous tap on the

or

keys of the right four-way button (CLEAR).
• Remember that the timer switches also remain ac-
tive during programming.
