Timex 070 - Manual (Page 4)

SECTION 10 – USING THE MEMO FUNCTION
Your watch allows you to store up to 10 memos of up to 24 characters
each for appointments, phone numbers, or other reminders.
Press S5 (four times from Time/Calendar mode) to enter
Memo mode. MEMO shows on the display for 2 seconds, then
it is replaced by the most recently entered or viewed memo.
Initially, you will see PAGE 1, MEMO 1, and a row of eight
dashes indicating where characters may be entered. Each of
the 10 memos consists of 3 pages of 8 characters.
To create a memo, press S4. A flashing square marker (called a cursor)
appears over the first dash, indicating that you can place a character there.
Press S1 to advance the character in that position from the dash to digits 0-
9, letters A-Z, and then 8 special characters including a telephone symbol,
blank space, and the dash. Pressing S2 cycles the character set in the
reverse direction. Hold S1 or S2 to scroll through the characters quickly.
When the character you want appears in the first position, press
S3 to enter the character and move the cursor to the next dash.
Repeat the process until the entire memo is recorded (after
eight characters, PAGE 2 appears so you can continue, and after 16
characters, PAGE 3). When you have finished a memo, press S4 again to
store the memo. Any unfilled spaces (dashes) left on the page will disappear
with the storing of your memo. To make corrections, you can move the
cursor in the opposite direction by pressing the S5 button.
Press S4 to set a new time for the alarm (#1-#5) showing on the
display. The time zone (T-1 or T-2) will begin flashing. Change
the setting by pressing S1 or S2. This selects the time zone for
the alarm, and the speaker symbol will appear on the flag line in
Time/Calendar mode only when the time zone for the armed
alarm(s) and for the time of day are the same.
Press S3 or S5 repeatedly to select time and/or date, and set
the selection with S1 (increase) or S2 (decrease). If you leave
the DATE and MONTH (in the upper display) blank (showing
dashes), the alarm will sound daily at the time set, unless you
disarm it. Setting a DATE but not a MONTH will cause that
alarm to sound at the selected time on that particular date
every month. Entering a MONTH and DATE will cause the alarm
to sound only once a year. Entering a MONTH but not a DATE
will cause the alarm to sound at the selected time every day for
only that month.
Press S4 to exit Alarm Set mode and lock in the desired setting(s).
When the alarm beep sounds, press any button to silence the alarm sound
(otherwise, it sounds for 20 seconds before shutting off). When the alarm
sounds, the alarm setting “pops up” on the display for you to disarm the
alarm or to set a new alarm. When you press any button to silence the
alarm, you have 4 seconds before the alarm setting “pop-up” display
disappears and you are returned to the previously displayed screen. Press
S3 to disarm the alarm or press S4 to enter Alarm Set mode and enter a
new alarm setting. Once you are done setting the new alarm (press S4 to
exit), the “pop-up” display will show the new alarm setting for 4 seconds (as
confirmation) and then will return you to the previously displayed screen.
NOTE: If the alarm is allowed to sound for a full 20 seconds without being
turned off, a “back-up” alarm will sound five minutes later. This feature
allows you a few extra minutes of sleep, if the alarm is being used as a
wake-up call. The speaker flag flashes in Time/Calendar mode when the
back-up alarm is active.
If the Timer “pop-up” occurs while the Alarm “pop-up” is active, the Alarm
“pop-up” is canceled and the 5-minute back-up alarm will come into effect.
SECTION 9 – SETTING/USING THE ALARMS
Press S5 (three times from Time/Calendar mode) to enter
Alarm mode. ALARM will appear in the lower display for 2
seconds, and then the current setting will appear. Initially, it will
show the time zone (T-1 or T-2), dashes in the upper display
where you can enter a date, and 12:00-AM in the middle
display. Alarm mode automatically uses the same 12- or 24-
hour format as you have selected for the current
Time/Calendar mode (T-1 or T-2). In the 12-hour format, -AM or -PM will
be indicated to the right of the minutes; 24-hour format is indicated by -24
to the right of the minutes.
While in Alarm mode, arm or disarm the alarm being displayed (#1-#5) by
pressing S3. When the alarm is armed, the speaker symbol will appear in
the flag line of the display. To review the alarms on the screen, press S1 to
cycle through the alarm numbers. Each of the 5 alarms can be set to either
time zone (T-1 or T-2), and they can be individually armed or disarmed .
Arm the hourly signal chime by pressing S2. A bell symbol will appear on
the flag line to confirm that the hourly chime is armed. This feature also
controls the switch-press confirmation beep option that works for all
modes except Chrono, for which the confirmation beep is always active.
When you have set SECONDS on INT 1, pressing S3 again will return you
to the SET INT screen. Move to INT 2 by pressing S1, and set the second
interval as before. You can repeat to set as many as 9 intervals if you wish.
If you skip an interval, INT 3 for instance, and set INT 4, that interval will be
re-numbered to INT 3, as all unset intervals are discarded.
Exit Timer Set mode by pressing S4. You will return to the
original Timer mode screen, which may show, for example,
REPS 3 CDC 5:00.00 INT 1/4 (meaning you are ready to begin
Interval #1 of 4, interval #1 is 5 minutes long, and you have set the timer to
complete 3 repetitions. CDC indicates that the chronograph will start
automatically after the final countdown).
Press S3 to begin the countdown sequence. As each interval countdown is
completed, an alarm beep sounds and the timer display will “pop-up” on
the screen in place of the Time of Day for 3 seconds. If you press S6
during that three-second display period, the “pop-up” display remains on
the screen for another 3 seconds. If you press any other button when the
alarm beep sounds, the alarm “pop-up” display will be canceled.
To review your timer settings, press S1 while in Timer mode (
not Timer
Set). The first press shows the number of repetitions set, the second
press shows whether or not the chronograph is set to start at the end of
the countdown(s), and then each additional press shows the time for each
set interval. If the Timer is running, none of the settings can be changed; if
the timer is stopped or reset, you can enter Timer Set mode to change the
settings.
To leave the Timer Recall mode, press S4, or you will automatically leave
Timer Recall if you do not press any other button for 10 seconds. If the
timer was running, you will return to the display showing the countdown. If
the timer was stopped or reset, you’ll go to the SET NO. OF REPS screen.
You can also exit the recall by pressing S5 which returns you to the screen
from which you entered the Timer Recall mode.
To stop the countdown(s), press S2 or S3. To reset, the countdown timer
while it is running, press and hold S2. The display will show HOLD-TO
RESET, and after 2 seconds, all settings are returned to the starting point.
If you press and hold S2 again, the display will show HOLD-TO CLEAR,
and after 2 seconds all settings will be erased. You can enter the Set Timer
mode to program a new sequence of countdown intervals.
