below the central colon.
2. Press the “CLEAR” button and hold it down for approximately 2 seconds until
the hour display begins to flash.
3. Press the “PROG” (short for programme) button until the correct hour is shown.
Make sure if you are in the 12 hour clock that AM or PM is correct, or if you are
in the 24 hour mode that you have the correct hour.
Notes a) Each time you press the button the time will advance 1 hour
b) Keeping the button pressed in for a couple of seconds will start fast
scrolling through the hours.
4. To change from 12 hour to 24 hour setting press the “START/STOP” button at
any time the hours are still flashing.

to a maximum of 59mins and 59 secs. The display will also show an arrow icon to

NOTE The count-up timer will only work if the countdown timer is in countdown
5
and up mode and not countdown repeat. (see next section)
PROGRAMMED COUNTDOWN MODE
There are 4 different pre-programmed timing sequences. They are:
5,4,1,0 minutes, 5 minute periods, 3 minute periods, and 1 minute periods, plus two
types of countdown. They are countdown and up or countdown repeat. It is
possible to choose multiples of these periods (e.g. 2 x 5 minutes = 10 minutes) in
countdown and up plus the 1 minute setting of countdown repeat. Multiples of 5,4,
1,0, 5 minutes and 3 minutes are not available in countdown repeat. Each pre-
programmed period has a short alarm sound every minute, and for the last minute
of countdown an alarm at 50, 40 30 & 20 seconds, and also an alarm for each of
the last 15 seconds.
CHOOSING BETWEEN COUNTDOWN AND
UP OR COUNTDOWN REPEAT

3. Make sure the display is at zero (By pressing “CLEAR”)
4. Press the “SYNC” button and hold it down.
5. Whilst holding the sync button in press the “CLEAR” button. This makes the
