F1 Mode

Displays the timing of an event in
minutes-seconds-thousandths of a
second and the main time while timing
is in progress. The F1 mode

(fig. 6) 

is

indicated for 3 seconds, followed by
the number of the timed lap.

This mode enables the wearer to time, 
for example, several laps (80 laps maximum) 
of an F1 race. The different lap times are memorized and can then be consulted
in 

”BEST LP (Best Lap) mode”. 

The timing of a lap can be interrupted and the

timing operation restarted without losing information about the previous laps.
1/100

ths

and 1/1000

ths

of seconds are only displayed for the duration of each

lap and for the total time. They are replaced by dashes when the digits dis-
play the current timing.

In F1 mode, the functions of the push buttons are:

A

= - starts the timing and timing of successive laps (previous lap in memory)

- starts the timing again after a pause

B

short pressure = stops the timing, without memorizing the last lap*
This operation displays the total timing (TOT)

B

long pressure = zero reset of the timing, once the latter has stopped

C

= backlight for 6 seconds

D

= enables the wearer to access a different mode, without 

having to interrupt the timing

Note:

the time between the last pressure on A and the pressure on B is not

memorized, as indicated in the diagram below. To time one lap only, the wearer
must start with A, put A in memory and then stop the timing with B.
