SETTING TIME OF DAY, DATE AND ALARM

WeÕve built setting reminders into the watch to simplify setting the Time of Day and Alarm, and made them consistent Ð once you know how to set Time, you can set the Alarm.

Press and hold SET/CLEAR to begin; a message will appear reminding you to hold button. After 2 seconds, youÕll see a series of reminders, showing you functions of MODE/PULSE and START/STOP buttons and a reminder to press SET/CLEAR button when done.

➢Press START/STOP to change value of ßashing number.

➢Press MODE to move to next digit (or digits) to continue setting time and date.

➢When done, press SET/CLEAR to save changes and exit.

Notes on Setting Time of Day, Date and Alarm

¥Pressing any button during reminder messages will cancel them and let you start setting the watch.

¥During setting, the reminder arrows will pop-up to help you remember which buttons to press.

¥You can set the watch to display time in 24-hour format, sometimes called ÒmilitaryÓ or ÒinternationalÓ time. Press START/STOP to change between 12 HR and 24 HR.

¥On some models, you can set the date to display Month/Date or Day/Date.

In regular Time mode (not Set mode), press and hold START/STOP for 3 seconds to change between Month/Date and Day/Date format.

¥Whenever you set the Alarm, it will automatically arm itself. Refer to the Alarm section for more details.

USING THE PULSE MODE

There are 2 ways to use Pulse Calculator: Go to Pulse Mode or use Pulse Shortcut when Timer or Stopwatch is running and displayed. Using your watch to help determine your pulse is easy Ð just follow these steps:

1. Press MODE/PULSE until you get to Pulse mode.

2. To take your pulse, press START/STOP to begin.

3. The display will tell you to FIND PULSE and then allow you seconds to do so. After 3 seconds a beep will sound. Count 10 pulse beats from that beep. On the tenth pulse beat, press START/STOP to show your heart rate in beats per minute.

Notes on Using the Pulse Calculator

¥The easiest way to take your pulse while using this feature is to use the hand on the arm that you put the watch on to Þnd a pulse in your neck, just below your chin. With your hand in this position, you can easily press the START/STOP button with your free hand to start and Þnish Pulse Calculation.

¥After you enter Pulse mode a sequence of reminders will appear describing how to use Pulse Calculator. Pressing START/STOP, MODE/PULSE or waiting a few seconds, will return you to PULSE START (unless you have entered Pulse using ÒPulse ShortcutÓ, in which case you will return to either the Timer or Stopwatch).

USING THE STOPWATCH AND TIMER

The main difference between the Timer and Stopwatch is that the Stopwatch counts up from zero until you stop it, and the Timer counts down from a preset value and alerts you when it has reached zero.

➢Press START/STOP to start or stop Timer or Stopwatch.

➢While the Timer or Stopwatch is stopped, press SET/CLEAR to set it back to zero (ÒclearÓ).

➢Timer Only: If the Timer is cleared (at 0), press SET/CLEAR to choose one of the pre-set times to count down from (continue pressing SET/CLEAR until you reach the time you want). The choices for countdown times are 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 45 minutes and 1 hour. Some models also have 15-second and 30-second pre-set times.

Notes on Using Stopwatch and Timer

¥While in Stopwatch or Timer mode and the Stopwatch or Timer is running, you can: 1. Press and hold SET/CLEAR to ÒpeekÓ at time of day.

2. Press MODE/PULSE for a ÒshortcutÓ to Pulse mode to take a single pulse reading, after a few seconds, the watch will return to Timer or Stopwatch (whichever function you were using).

¥When the Timer count reaches zero, a melody will alert you. Melody will sound for

10 seconds; press any button to stop it. If counting down from 30 minutes or more, watch will beep and show HALFWAY when half the time has elapsed (alerting that youÕve reached Òturn-aroundÓ time).

¥Timer Only: While Timer is running, a bar graph across the bottom of display will show an estimate of what percentage of original setting is still to be counted.

¥The Stopwatch and Timer can run simultaneously.

¥You may switch to another mode and Stopwatch or Timer will continue running. (In Time of Day mode, a bar graph will appear at bottom of display while the Timer is running.) Even in another mode, the Timer will alert you when it reaches zero.
