This is the Stopwatch mode. There are two basic modes of operation,
“Auto” and “Manual”, selected in the MENU. To change between Auto

The MANUAL mode functions like a Stopwatch. When TIMER mode is
selected, the display shows 00:00:00. The timing is started and stopped
by the POWER button. Up to three Lap times may be stored using the
RECALL (STORE) button while the timer is running. Lap times may be
recalled by pressing the RECALL button when the timer has stopped.
The timer may be reset to 00:00:00 with the RESET button. When the
timing is started or the RESET button is pressed, the memory values are
cleared. When the Lock Chevron is not displayed and no button is pressed
for 60 seconds, the unit will automatically shut off.
The AUTO mode functions similarly to the MANUAL mode with the
exception that the internal optics (or Remote Sensor with the
TACH-4AR) can be used to start and stop the Timing function. The
POWER button is also operational in this mode so that the user can start
the timer by pressing the POWER button, then have the timer stopped
when an item passes through the light beam. Similarly, the timer can be
started by beam interruption and ended by the POWER button.
POWER/LOCK Starts and stops the timer.
RECALL/STORE While Timer is running, pressing RECALL will
store lap times up to a maximum of three laps.
When the Timer is stopped, pressing RECALL will
display stored lap times.
RESET/LOCK Resets the timer to 00:00:00 and clears the stored
lap times.
