TO LEAVE THE TIME FUNCTION
1. Press “MODE” button and release it. This will change the unit from time to timer mode.
2. Pressing “MODE” again will revert to the time.
3. It is possible to change from time to timer regardless of whether the timer is running or not.
4. Once in the timer mode there are 3 options COUNTUP, COUNTDOWN AND UP OR COUNTDOWN
REPEAT.
COUNTUP OPTION
1. Once in the timer mode press the “CLEAR” button. This will only function if the timer is not running. (If
the timer is running, press “RONSTAN (STOP)” first and then press “CLEAR”). The display will now
show 0:00.
2. Press “RONSTAN (START)” and the timer will count up from zero in minutes and seconds up to a
maximum of 59mins and 59secs. The display will also show the é icon to denote count-up.
3. During count-up the timer can be stopped and restarted as many times as required.
NOTE
: The count-up timer will only work if the countdown timer is in countdown 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
1. Press “MODE” to leave the clock and reach the timer function.
2. Make sure the timer is stopped (using the “RONSTAN (START/STOP)” button)
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 choice between
countdown and up with the ê
+
é icons and countdown repeat with the
Q
icon.
6. Release “SYNC” and the choice is confirmed
CHOOSING THE PRE-PROGRAMMED PERIOD
1. The 4 pre-programmed periods each have corresponding indicators at the top of the display to show
which programme is selected.
2. To change the programme selected make sure the watch is in timer function with the timer stopped
and the display at zero (by pressing “CLEAR”)
3. Press and hold the “SYNC” button in, and then whilst holding it in press “PROG”. Each time “PROG”
is pressed the display will change to the next available programme.
4. The sequence the programmes are available in is 5,4,1,0. Followed by 5 mins, followed by 3 mins,
followed by 1 min. After 1 min the next programme will be 5,4,1,0 again and so on.
NOTE
: The programme required will probably stay constant every time you race at the same club, and
will probably only need changing if you race somewhere else that uses a different starting sequence.
