EATURES
The timer is a standard counter that counts up or down. The timer has a maximum
of 9 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds, Ò9:59:59Ó. The Outback can be used as a
compass while still using the timer: the numeric display shows the current heading,
the compass rose points North and the display word shows the timer.
When counting up, the timer starts at Ò0:00:00Ó or a time you set such as 4 hours
and 30 minutes Ò4:30:00Ó, and counts up . When counting down, the timer is set to a
certain time such as 15 minutes Ò0:15:00Ó, and counts down from that time. If the
timer reaches the maximum, it resets to Ò0:00:00Ó and begins to count up. If the
timer reaches zero while counting down, it resets and begins to count up.
