To use the countdown timer

Press Dwhile in the Countdown Timer Mode to start the countdown timer.

When the end of the countdown is reached and auto-repeat is turned off, the alarm will sound for 10 seconds or until you stop it by pressing any button. The countdown time is reset to its starting value automatically after the alarm stops.

When auto-repeat is turned on, the countdown will restart automatically without pausing when it reaches zero. The alarm sounds to signal when the countdown reaches zero. The countdown is repeated up to eight times, and then stops.

The number of the current repeat (1 to 8) is shown in the lower display.

The countdown timer measurement operation continues even if you exit the Countdown Timer Mode.

To stop a countdown timer operation completely, first pause it (by pressing D), and then press A. This returns the countdown time to its starting value.
