SILENCING THE ALARM
If you prefer to use the watch purely as a visual reference only it is possible to silence the alarm. This is
done by pressing “MODE” and holding it down for approximately 2 seconds. A short bip indicates that
this has been successful, and the icon of the bell in the top right of the display disappears to show the
alarm is off.
To re-activate the alarm press and hold “MODE” for 2 seconds until you hear the bip and the icon of the
bell comes on to show that the alarm is on.
USING THE COUNTDOWN FUNCTION
1. Once you have chosen the programme required, and decided whether to have the alarm on or not,
chose whether you want just one period of that programme (by pressing “PROG” just once for
countdown repeat) or multiples of that period if required (by pressing “PROG” several times for
countdown and up or the 1 minute programme of countdown repeat)
2. To change between countdown & up and countdown repeat, press and hold in the “SYNC” button.
Whilst holding this is, press the “CLEAR” button. You will see the Icons ê
+
é for countdown & up or
Q
for countdown repeat.
3. Once the display shows the correct number of minutes press “RONSTAN (START)” and the timer
counts down in minutes and seconds towards zero. The display also shows the icon for countdown
repeat
Q
or for countdown and up just the down ê icon is shown.
4. During countdown the timer can be stopped and restarted as many times as required.
5. During countdown mode the alarm will sound (if it is on) every minute with an alarm sequence more
often during the last minute.
6. When the timer reaches zero, if you are in countdown and up it starts to count up and the display
shows the up é icon. The timer will count up to 59mins 59secs and the start at 0:00 again. This count up
will show elapsed race time and will be particularly useful in handicap racing.
7. If you are in countdown repeat, that icon stays permanently on and the timer reverts to the
programmed time chosen and continues to count back down again
THE SYNCHRONIZE FEATURE
The synchronize button is printed “SYNC”. This only has a function during count down and when the
timer is running.
Once the timing sequence is started, you may feel that you were late starting your watch and that
consequently your watch is a few seconds late. You may even have missed the preparatory signal
altogether. Do not worry. Instead just start the watch.
When the next signal is given by the starter, just press “SYNC” and the display will drop down to the
next full minute in countdown. (E.g. if the watch show 5:08, pressing “SYNC” will send the watch to 5:00
and it will continue to count down. Likewise if the watch shows 3.35 or even 3.59 and you press “SYNC”
the time will jump to 3:00.)
Therefore the “SYNC” button can be used to get your starting sequence quickly in perfect unison with
the official starter.
NOTE
: Pressing “SYNC” accidentally would obviously get you out of line with the official time. All the
buttons on the watch are positive click-type buttons to help avoid them being knocked. To increase this
protection the “SYNC” button is fitted with an even stiffer click button. Therefore your “SYNC” button is
tighter than the other buttons and this is deliberate and for good reason.
USEFUL HINTS ABOUT WEARING/MOUNTING THE WATCH
1. The watch can be worn just like any normal watch on the wrist. However if the display is not
convenient to look at, then the whole timer case can be turned inside the outer clip to get a better
viewing angle
2. If you prefer to have the watch on top of the hand, then the timer should be removed from the outer
clip, and the elasticated strap removed from the outer clip. The outer clip can then be sewed to a glove
using the 2 holes already in the clip. The timer can then be pushed back into the outer clip at whatever
viewing angle is required. Take note to make sure the timer clicks back positively into the outer clip.
