CHRONOGRAPH (STOPWATCH) OPERATION EXAMPLE
• Press MODE to enter CHRONOGRAPH mode.
• Press LAP/RESET button to select one of the three display format choices for the
chronograph: 1. Lap/Split Time, 2. Lap Time/Number, 3. Lap Time and Split Time/Lap
Number (alternating). Chronograph must be stopped to make selection.
• Press START/STOP to start chronograph.
• Press LAP/RESET once to take ten lap readings (10 sec. auto release of lap time).
• At end of last lap press STOP.
• To recall lap times press RECALL/SET button (you may also recall while chronograph
is timing).
• Example of lap times:
1. 2.50.30 3. 2.70.30 5. 2.10.30 7. 2.40.30 9. 2.80.30
2. 2.70.30 4. 2.90.30 6. 2.30.30 8. 2.40.30 10. 3.00.30
• The first lap recalled will be the lap with the best time (Lap 5 in example)
• The second lap recalled will be the next to last lap stored in memory (Lap 9 in
example).
• The third lap recalled will be the second to last (Lap 8 in example).
• Each press of RECALL/SET will recall laps in descending lap order (Lap 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2,
1..then repeat..best lap 5, Lap 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1).
• Press LAP/RESET to view last lap (Lap 10).
• Press and hold LAP/RESET again to reset chronograph to zero.
• After resetting chronograph to zero, pressing RECALL/SET will recall laps in ascending
order (in example best lap 5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
NOTES:
1. To view split time during recall press LAP/RESET button.
2. While recalling before resetting chronograph, the best lap time, if it is actually the
last lap, will not appear as "best" lap during recall before resetting. However, after
resetting the chronograph, the best lap time appears correctly.
3. The “last lap” is not recalled in sequence before resetting due to the pause feature
(stopping the chronograph and then restarting to continue to take more lap
readings). The reason is that the "last" lap may not actually be complete, it may be a
paused partial lap.
D. Continue to press LAP/RESET to take more lap time readings. The last 50 readings
will be stored in memory and can be recalled at any time during a timing sequence or
after it has been completed.
E. To review the times stored in memory, press RECALL/SET button. The best LAP
reading will be the first one to be displayed and further presses of RECALL/SET
button will first display the reading prior to the one presently being performed and
then in descending order to the first reading or the first of the last 50 if more than 50
lap readings have been taken. To view the split time, as of the lap number being
displayed, press the LAP/RESET button. To review the next lap time, press the
RECALL/SET button.
F. To reset the chronograph, it must first be stopped, then press
LAP/RESET and hold it for 2 seconds. The menu display will
remain on until the reset has been accomplished.
G. At this time the memory can still be recalled, but now the laps
will be recalled in ascending order. The memory will be
retained for your reference until a new timing sequence is started.
NOTE: The chronograph times will be displayed with 1/100 second resolution up to one
hour then in 1 second resolution up to 100 hours.
