STARTING THE TIMERS

If the timers are turned on they automatically start running once you start the stopwatch. Timers alternate in the following order: Timer 1, Timer 2, Timer 1, Timer 2, etc. Timers stop running when you stop the stopwatch.

If you have set only Timer 1, it will not repeat itself after its time is up. You will hear six beeps when the time on Timer 1 has run out. One timer is helpful in knowing exactly when a preset exercise time has come

to an end and it is time to stretch and cool down.
