Countdown Timer

Minutes	Seconds	The countdown timer can be set within a range of one
		minute to 60 minutes. An alarm sounds when the
		countdown reaches zero. The countdown timer has two
		modes: auto-repeat and elapsed time, and a progress
		beeper signals the progress of the countdown. All of this
		makes the countdown timer a valuable tool for timing the
		start of a yacht race.

•All of the operations in this section are performed in the

Timekeeping Mode time	Countdown Timer Mode, which you enter by pressing
	C.

Configuring the Countdown Timer

The following are the settings you should configure before actually using the countdown timer.

Countdown start time and reset time

Timer mode (auto-repeat, elapsed time)

Progress beeper on/off

•See “To configure the countdown timer” for information about setting up the timer.

Reset Time

You can set a “reset time,” which is a kind of alternate countdown start time you can recall with the press of a button any time a countdown operation is in progress.

Timer Mode

The countdown timer gives you a choice of two modes: auto-repeat and elapsed time.

Auto-repeat

Auto-repeat mode automatically restarts the countdown from the countdown start time you set whenever zero is reached.

•Auto-repeat mode is best when timing the starts of match races.

•Even if you start a countdown operation from the reset time, the countdown automatically restarts from the countdown start time whenever it reaches zero.

•Auto repeat timing repeats up to seven times.

Elapsed Time

When the end of the countdown is reached in the elapsed time mode, the timer automatically switches to an elapsed time measurement operation.

•The elapsed time mode is best when timing the speed of yachts during ocean races.

•The elapsed time operation is performed in one-second increments up to 99 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds.

Countdown Timer Beeper Operations

The watch beeps at various times during a countdown to so you can keep informed about the countdown status without looking at the display. The following describes the types of beeper operations the watch performs during a countdown.

Countdown End Beeper

The watch beeps each second of the final 10 seconds before a countdown reaches zero, and at zero. The watch emits a longer beep to signal when the countdown reaches zero.

Alarms

•The countdown end beeper always sounds, regardless of the on/off status of the progress beeper.

Progress Beeper

The progress beeper actually includes two beepers: a reset time beeper and a reset period progress beeper.

•The reset time beeper and reset period progress beeper sound only while the progress beeper is turned on.

Reset Time Beeper

The reset time beeper is similar to the countdown end beeper. When the progress beeper is turned on, the watch beeps each second of the final 10 seconds before the countdown reaches the reset time.

Reset Period Progress Beeper

The reset period is the portion of the countdown between the reset time and zero. When the progress beeper is turned on, the watch emits four short beeps at the top of each minute during the reset period, and 30 seconds before the end of the countdown.
