Alarm Operation

The alarm tone sounds at the preset time for 10 seconds, regardless of the mode the watch is in. In the case of the snooze alarm, the alarm repeats up to seven times every five minutes until you turn the alarm off.

• Pressing any button stops the alarm tone operation.

Time Recorder

The Time Recorder Mode lets you store up to 50 time entries (hour, minutes, seconds) with the touch of a button. One way you can use the Time Recorder Mode is to record the start time and the end time of a particular event.

To record a Time Recorder time

• If any alarm operation (one-time alarm, snooze) occurs while a signal receive

operation is in progress, the receive operation is canceled.

• Displaying the Timekeeping Mode setting screen during a 5-minute interval between

snooze alarms stops the current snooze alarm operation (but snooze alarm remains

as the alarm type setting).

 

• The snooze on indicator (

) flashes during the 5-minute intervals between alarms.

• The alarm on indicator (

), snooze on indicator ( ), and Hourly Time Signal on

indicator ( ) are displayed in all modes.

•In all modes, the alarm on indicator is shown for any alarm (AL1through AL3, TAL, or SNZ) that is currently turned on.

•Alarm operations and the Hourly Time Signal operation are performed in all modes.
