Countdown Timer

Auto light switch indicator

An LED (light-emitting diode) and light guide panel illuminate the digital display for easy reading in the dark. The watch’s auto light switch automatically illuminates the display when you angle the watch towards your face.

The auto light switch must be turned on (indicated by the auto light switch indicator) for it to operate.

See “Illumination Precautions” for other important information.

To turn on illumination manually

In any mode, press L to illuminate the display.

You can specify 1.5 seconds or 2.5 seconds as the illumination duration. See “To set the current digital time and date manually” for more information.

The above operation turns on illumination regardless of the current auto light switch setting.

Mode indicator

Minutes Seconds

You can set the countdown timer within a range of one to 60 minutes. An alarm sounds when the countdown reaches zero.

You can also select auto-repeat, which automatically restarts the countdown from the original value you set whenever zero is reached.

The left display window normally shows the 1/10 second count. When auto-repeat is turned on, however, it shows the current repeat count.

All of the operations in this section are performed in the Countdown Timer Mode, which you enter by pressing

C.

About the Auto Light Switch

Turning on the auto light switch causes the display illumination to turn on whenever you position your wrist as described below in any mode. Note that this watch features a “Full Auto Light,” so the auto light switch operates only when available light is below a certain level. It does not illuminate the display under bright light.

Moving the watch to a position that is parallel to the ground and then tilting it towards you more than 40 degrees causes illumination to turn on.

Wear the watch on the outside of your wrist.

Warning!

Always make sure you are in a safe place whenever you are reading the display of the watch using the auto light switch. Be especially careful when running or engaged in any other activity that can result in accident or injury. Also take care that sudden illumination by the auto light switch does not surprise or distract others around you.

When you are wearing the watch, make sure that its auto light switch is turned off before riding on a bicycle, or operating a motorcycle or any other motor vehicle. Sudden and unintended operation of the auto light switch can create a distraction, which can result in a traffic accident and serious personal injury.

To turn the auto light switch on and off

In any mode, hold down L for about two seconds to toggle the auto light switch on (the auto light switch indicator displayed) and off (the auto light switch indicator not displayed).

The auto light switch is automatically turned off whenever battery power is at Level 4. After battery power recovers to Level 2, you will have to perform the above procedure to turn the auto light switch back on again.

The auto light switch indicator is on the display in all modes while the auto light switch is turned on.

Batteries

This watch is equipped with a solar cell and rechargeable batteries (secondary batteries) that are charged by the electrical power produced by the solar cell. The illustration shown below shows how you should position the watch for charging.

Example: Orient the watch so its face

Solar cell

is pointing at a light source.

 

The illustration shows how to position

 

a watch with a resin band.

 

Note that charging efficiency drops

when any part of the solar cell is blocked by clothing, etc.

Normally, you should try to keep the watch outside of your sleeve as much

as possible. Charging is significantly reduced if the face is only partially covered.
