<Example of use of the restart setting function in racing where the time from the warning
signal to start signal is defi ned as 5 minutes, and the time from the start signal to restart
signal is defi ned as 10 minutes>
※ The general recall signal is a signal issued when a number of yachts make false starts or violate
racing rules and the race committee is unable to identify or the starting procedures are incorrect.
※ For detailed rules on yacht racing, check the appropriate racing rules of each race.
◆ For actual yacht racing, the restart setting function can be used in 5 minute yacht timer
measurements as follows:
<5 minutes prior to start>
<4 minutes after start>

●Restart setting function
◆ Yacht timer mode features a restart setting function, which enables you to
restart the measurement correctly and easily after an interruption during the
stopwatch measurement. This function is particularly useful when you have to
restart after a premature start in a yacht race.
◆ The restart setting function can be used anytime while the stopwatch is meas-
uring following the yacht timer counting.
◆ Pressing button
Ⓐ
for approximately 2 seconds will activate the restart setting
function.
◆ Restart of the measurement will be made at regular intervals from the initial
start of the measurement.
◆ The intervals between the initial start of the measurement and the subsequent
restarts are automatically decided according to the selected yacht timer which
had fi nished its counting before the stopwatch had started.
