countdown. You can resume the auto-repeat countdown by pressing D, or you can
press A to reset to the countdown time starting value.
Countdown Timer Beeper Operations
The watch beeps at various times during a countdown so you can keep informed
about the countdown status without looking at the display. The following describes the
types of beeper operations the watch performs during a countdown.
Countdown End Beeper
The countdown end beeper lets you know when the countdown reaches zero.
• When the progress beeper is turned off, the countdown end beeper sounds for
about 10 seconds, or until you press any button to stop it.
• When the progress beeper is turned on, the countdown end beeper sounds for
about one second.
Progress Beeper
When the progress beeper is turned on, the watch uses beeps to signal countdown
progress as described below.
• Starting from five minutes before the end of the countdown, the watch emits four
short beeps at the top of each countdown minute.
• 30 seconds before the end of the countdown, the watch emits four short beeps.
• The watch emits a short beep for each of the last 10 seconds of the countdown.
• If the countdown start time is six minutes or greater, the watch emits a short beep for
each second of the final 10 seconds before the five-minute point is reached. Four
short beeps are emitted to signal when the five-minute point is reached.
