HOW TO USE THE STOPWATCH
<Notes on the movement of the stopwatch 1/20 second hand>
• After the stopwatch is started, the stopwatch 1/20 second hand moves for about 1 minute and
automatically stops at “0” position.
• When split time is measured or the measurement is stopped, it moves to indicate the elapsed 1/20 seconds.
• After split time is released or the measurement is restarted, it moves for about 1 minute and stops
automatically.
• In the same manner, if the stopwatch is stopped and restarted repeatedly or split time is measured and
released repeatedly, it will keep moving for maximum 2 minutes after the last operation.
