EXERCISE STOPWATCH MODE
Remaining memory |
The Exercise Stopwatch Mode provides you with a 1/100- |
||
Mode |
Lap/Split No. |
second stopwatch for measuring elapsed time and lap/ |
|
split times. Elapsed time measured in the Exercise Stop- |
|||
indicator |
1/100 |
||
watch Mode is used in combination with data you input in |
|||
|
|||
|
second |
the Basic Data Input Mode to calculate the number of cal- |
|
|
|
ories you burn while jogging or running. |
•Whenever you perform a stopwatch time measurement operation, the date, elapsed time, and calories burned
are automatically stored in memory. Data in memory can be viewed using the Recall Mode.
Measuring Elapsed Time
Calories burned |
1. In the Exercise Stopwatch Mode, press A to start the |
|
|
|
stopwatch. |
|
|
|
|
|
2. Press A to stop the stopwatch. |
|
|
You can resume the measurement operation by press- |
|
|
• ing A again. |

3. Press C to clear the stopwatch to all zeros. |
|
|
Stopping and Clearing the Stopwatch |
|
|
Pressing A while the stopwatch is running stops it and |
|
|
• leaves the measured time on the display. Pressing A at |
|
|
this time resumes the stopwatch operation, starting from |
|
|
the displayed time. |
•Pressing C while the stopwatch is stopped and a time is on the display clears the stopwatch to all zeros. Note that you must press C to clear the stopwatch to all zeros before you can perform certain stopwatch operations.
•When the stopwatch is cleared, the upper part of the display periodically changes between the mode indicator and remaining memory value.
Recording Lap or Split Times
1.Press A to start the stopwatch.
2.Press C to display the timing up to that point. Stopwatch timing continues internally.
• When you press C, the lap (or split) time remain on the display for about seven seconds. Then the screen automatically changes back to the stopwatch (elapsed time) screen.
• Holding down D for about one second causes the display to change between the lap time ( LAP displayed) and split time ( SPL displayed).
3.You can repeat step 2 as many times as you want.
4.Press A to stop the time measurement.
• About seven seconds after you press A to stop the time measurement, a value showing the number of calories burned appears on the display.
5.After the number of calories burned value appears, press C to clear the stopwatch to all zeros.
•The data is stored as lap or split times depending on the last operation you perform. If you measure a lap time and then a split time, all the lap/split times stored in memory are shown as split times in the Recall Mode.
How the Watch Counts Calories
•The watch calculates the number of calories you consume using the elapsed time measured in the Exercise Stopwatch Mode and the age, weight and other data you input in the Basic Data Input Mode. The calorie calculations made by this watch will not be correct unless you input your own personal basic data.
•The watch also sounds a pacer signal to that you should use as a reference to control the intensity of your workouts. See “About the Pacer Signal” for details.
•The calorie value on the display is updated every 30 seconds while a stopwatch operation is in progress.
RECALL MODE

•Pressing D while viewing the data under a run number jumps to the next lower run number.
Deleting Stopwatch Data
You can delete the data stored under a specific run number, or all data stored under all run numbers. Note the following important rules about deleting data.
Important!
•Performing a lap or split time operation in the Exercise Stopwatch Mode stores the data in memory immediately, even if the stopwatch is still running. Note that you cannot delete a run number for which a stopwatch operation is still being performed.
•You cannot delete all stopwatch data while the stopwatch is running in the Exercise Stopwatch Mode. Also, the screen in the Exercise Stopwatch Mode must show all zeros.
•If the stopwatch is running, enter the Exercise Stopwatch Mode and then press A to stop it. Press C to clear the Exercise Stopwatch Mode display to all zeros.
