or press STOP/RESET to reset timer to its original time setting.
D. When the timer has reached zero, it will beep for 10 seconds. The beep
may be silenced early by pressing any button. When the timer sounds,
the timer display will automatically appear for 10 seconds, no matter
what mode you were in prior to the signal. When this occurs, you have
10 seconds to restart the timer or set a new countdown time before the
mode previously displayed reappears.

“TIMER” will appear in the middle of the display during active operation of
the countdown timer.
SECTION 8 – HOW TO SET/USE COUNTDOWN TIMER
The SPLIT chronograph allows the user to view total accumulated time at a
particular interval while continuing to accumulate total time. The LAP
chronograph allows the user to view the elapsed time for an interval but resets to
zero to measure the discrete time of the next interval.
For example, if a runner ran one mile in four
equal one minute intervals on a quarter mile
track and the user pressed SPLIT/RESET at the
end of each quarter mile, the display would
show as illustrated.
STANDARD CHRONOGRAPH WITH NET/ELAPSED TIME
In either SPLIT or LAP mode, standard (pause) chronograph operations are
as follows:
A. Press START/SPLIT to begin timing. “01” will appear in the upper left
display indicating that timing has begun and that you are on Lap 1.
NOTE: You can leave CHRONOGRAPH mode while the chronograph is
running. From NORMAL TIME, press MODE once to re-enter
CHRONOGRAPH mode.
B. Press STOP/RESET to stop the timing. The chronograph will stop running.
C. Press START/SPLIT to resume timing
OR
Press STOP/RESET to clear the chronograph and return the display to zero.
ADVANCED CHRONOGRAPH WITH SPLIT OR LAP TIMING
A. Press START/SPLIT to begin timing.
B. Press START/SPLIT to temporarily freeze the chronograph readout and
measure a split or a lap. Either SPLIT or LAP will flash, indicating that a
split or lap time has been taken, and that the chronograph is continuing
to time the event.
C. After 15 seconds, the watch will resume showing the running lap or split
time. “02” will appear in the upper display indicating that you are on Lap
2. You can count up to 99 laps in this manner. To resume showing the
running time before 15 seconds have passed, press MODE.
D. When the event ends, press STOP/RESET. The watch will end timing.
The lower display will indicate the final lap time (if LAP was selected) or
the total event time (if SPLIT was selected). The upper left display will
indicate the total number of laps taken in the event.
NOTE: If you pressed STOP/RESET while the chronograph readout was
frozen, you will need to press STOP/RESET again to display the final time.
E. To begin a new event, press STOP/RESET. This will clear the
chronograph and return the lower display to zero. You are now ready to
repeat Steps A through D.
NOTE: If you need to pause the chronograph during the timing, press
STOP/RESET. Press START/SPLIT to resume timing the event, or
STOP/RESET to clear the chronograph and return the lower display to zero.
SPLIT LAP
1/4 1.00 1.00
2/4 2.00 1.00
3/4 3.00 1.00
4/4 4.00 1.00
The countdown timer allows you to preset a period of time into the watch.
Similar to a kitchen timer, the watch counts down from the preset period,
indicating the time remaining, and signaling when the period has expired.
