Clocks
Two timers are shown in the basic display: one stop-
watch and one fl ight timer.
You can assign a physical switch or a control switch to
these two timers in the »clock« line …
… using the switch symbol on the right-hand side. The
assigned switch starts both timers, and also halts the
stopwatch.
The method of assigning a physical switch or a control
switch is described on page 25.
The fl ight timer always starts simultaneously with the
stopwatch, but continues to run even when the stop-
watch is halted (switched off). It can only be stopped by
pressing
ESC with the stopwatch halted.
Once stopped, both timers can be reset to the initial va-
lue using
CLEAR .
Switching between “count-up” and “count-down”
Count-up timer (stopwatch function)
If you assign a switch and start the stopwatch with the
initial value of “0:00”, the timer runs up until the maxi-
mum of 999 minutes and 59 seconds, then re-starts at
0:00.
Count-down timer (timer function)
You can use the left-hand SEL fi eld to select a starting
time within the range 0 to 180 minutes; using the right-
hand
SEL fi eld the range is 0 to 59 seconds. Any combi-
nation of times can also be selected.
(
CLEAR = „0“ or „00“.)
Procedure
1. Select the SEL fi eld with the right-hand rocker button.
2. Press SELECT.
3. Select the required time in the highlighted minutes
and seconds fi elds using the right-hand rocker but-
ton.
4. Press SELECT to conclude the input process.
Once you have entered the settings described above,
the set value is shown in the basic display (see pictu-
re in right-hand column), e.g. as 10:01 in min : sec. If the
display in the “Stop” line of the basic display does not
agree with your settings, press the
CLEAR button.
When you operate the assigned switch, the stopwatch
now starts from the set initial value, counting down (“Ti-
mer function”). When the set time has elapsed, the ti-
mer does not stop, but continues to run to allow you to
read off the time elapsed after reaching zero. To make
this clear, the over-run time is shown highlighted (inver-
se video).
Sequence of sounds

The “alarm timer” is reset by pressing the CLEAR button
after you have halted the timer.
Note:

fl ashing colon (:) between the minutes fi eld and the se-
conds fi eld.
