At the preset alarm time, the watch announces the time. For example, if you set alarm 1 to sound at 10:35 AM, the watch repeatedly an- nounces “Alarm 1. Good morning. It is 10:35 AM,” then repeatedly sounds a series of four beeps for about 1 minute. To silence the alarm sooner, press any key.

To turn off the alarm so it does not sound, repeatedly press MODE until the desired alarm setting appears, then repeatedly press ADJ until the watch repeatedly announces “alarm” and the selected alarm number “off,” and disappears.

Turning the Hourly Time Announcement On and Off

You can set the watch so it announces the time on the hour. When the watch displays the current time, press ADJ. The watch announces

“hourly report on,” and appears. To turn off the hourly report, press ADJ again. The watch announces “hourly report off,” and disap- pears.

Note: The hourly time announcement sounds at the beginning of each hour between 6:00 AM and 10:00 PM.

USING THE STOPWATCH TIMER

The stopwatch counts elapsed time up to 23 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds. When the timer reaches 23:59 59, it resets to 0:00 00 and begins counting up again.

Follow these steps to operate the stopwatch.

1.Repeatedly press MODE until the watch announces “stopwatch.” ST and 0:00 00 (the stopwatch) appear.

Notes:

If 0:00 00 does not appear and : does not flash, the timer is not running. Press DATE/SET to reset the stopwatch to 0:00 00.

To reset the stopwatch to 0:00 00, press ADJ then DATE/SET while the timer is running. The watch announces “all clear” and the timer changes to 0:00 00.

2.Press ADJ to start the stopwatch timer. The stopwatch starts and announces timing and the display shows the advancing time.

3.Press ADJ. The stopwatch timer stops and the display freezes.

4.To restart the stopwatch timer, press ADJ. The stopwatch timer continues from the elapsed time in Step 3.

5.Press ADJ to stop the timer, then press DATE/SET to reset it to 0:00 00. The watch announces "all clear."

Note: While the stopwatch is running, you can press MODE to use the watch’s other features.

RECORDING LAP TIMES

The watch’s lap function lets you freeze the display, document the timed reading, then return to the stopwatch timer to see the advancing time. You can monitor lap times continuously as long as the stopwatch continues to run.

Follow these steps to measure lap times.

1.Repeatedly press MODE until the watch announces "stopwatch". The stopwatch display and ST appear.

Note: If : is flashing, press ADJ then press DATE/SET twice to reset the stopwatch to 0:00 00.

2.Press ADJ to start the stopwatch timer.

3.When the first lap is finished, press DATE/SET. The stopwatch dis- play freezes, but the stopwatch timer continues to run. The : in the elapsed time flashes.

4.When you have documented the lap time, press DATE/SET. The display changes to show the advancing time on the stopwatch timer.

5.Repeat Steps 3 and 4 for each additional lap.

6.Press ADJ to stop the stopwatch. Then press DATE/SET to reset the display to 0:00 00.

The stopwatch timer announces the elapsed time according to this ta- ble.

For example, the stopwatch announces “5 minutes” if 0:05 00 ap- pears.

You also can press TIME to hear the voice announcement at any time while the stopwatch is running.

CARE

Keep the watch dry; if it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Use and store the watch only in normal temperature environments. Handle the watch carefully; do not drop it. Keep the watch away from dust and dirt, and wipe it with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.

Modifying or tampering with the watch’s internal components can cause a malfunction and invalidate its warranty. If your watch is not performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for as- sistance.

REPLACING THE BATTERY

Your watch comes with one CR2025 lithium battery installed for pow- er. When the display dims or the watch stops operating properly, re- place the battery.

Note: The screws are small and can be easily misplaced. Be sure you note where you place them. Also, the metal clip is difficult to remove and easy to bend when re-installing. If you are unsure whether you can do this, we recommend that you take the watch to your local Ra- dioShack store to have the battery replaced.
