Note
• In order to obtain accurate calorie and distance calculations, you must set accurate
basic data and keep your exercise pace in accordance with the pacer signal emitted
by the watch.
• Whenever you clear the stopwatch to all zeros, all exercise stopwatch data (elapsed
time, distance, calories burned, recording date) is recorded automatically in the
watch’s memory. See “Recall Mode” for more information.
• The unit of measurement used for the distance calculation depends on the unit you
select for your stride length as shown in the table below. See “To input your basic
data” for more information.

How the Exercise Stopwatch Works
There are two ways you can use the exercise stopwatch: to measure elapsed time like
a standard stopwatch (see “To measure times with the stopwatch”), and to keep track
of the number of calories you burn or the distance you cover while jogging or running.
In order to use the exercise stopwatch to keep track of calories and distance, you
must first perform the steps listed below.
1. Set your basic data. See “Inputting Basic Data”.
2. Configure the pacer signal. See “About the Pacer Signal”.
1/100 secon
The exercise stopwatch is a 1/100-second stopwatch that
measures elapsed time, split time, and two finishes. The
exercise stopwatch uses the data you input in the Basic
Data Input Mode and a pacer signal to calculate the
number of calories you burn and the distance you cover
while jogging or running.
• The stopwatch measurement operation continues even
if you exit the Exercise Stopwatch Mode.
• Exiting the Exercise Stopwatch Mode while a split time
is frozen on the display clears the split time and returns
to elapsed time measurement.
• Stopwatch measurements are performed in the Exercise
Stopwatch Mode, which you enter by pressing C.
• If you have red or blue selected for the current time in the Timekeeping Mode,
pressing A during an elapsed time operation causes the split time to appear on the
display in red.
• If you have red or blue selected for the current time in the Timekeeping Mode, the
elapsed time changes to blue after you reach your target calorie value.
• The current calories count is updated at 30-second intervals.
About the Pacer Signal
The pacer signal of this watch beeps in accordance with a pacer value (rate) set by
you. You can use the pacer signal to maintain a constant pace while jogging or
running. You can also turn off the pacer signal when you do not want to use it.
• The pacer value you set specifies the number of beeps per minute.
• Turning on the pacer signal causes the watch to beep at the rate specified by the
pacer value.
• You can disable the pacer function by setting a pacer value of xxx. While the
pacer value is set to xxx, the watch does not calculate calories burned and
distance covered, so both values are indicated as zero on the display.

2. Press C to turn on the pacer signal.
• Each press toggles the pacer signal on (sounds) and
off (does not sound).
3. Use D (+) and A (–) to change the pacer value.
• Each press of a button changes the pacer value in
units of 5. You can set a pacer value in the range of
100 to 200.
• Pressing D while the pacer value is 200 or A while
it is 100 changes the value to xxx.

• Entering the Recall Mode displays the newest exercise record first.
• The upper part of an exercise record screen alternates between the calories burned
and distance covered values.
• A TARGET indicator is displayed on any record where the total number of calories
you burned exceeds the target calorie value.
To delete an exercise record
1. In the Recall Mode, display the record you want to delete.
2. Hold down B until the watch emits a long beep (and until cmr stops flashing on
the display).
• Performing step 2 while the Cumulative Total screen is on the display resets the
calorie and distance cumulative totals to zero. After that, new cumulative totals will
be started from the next Exercise Stopwatch Mode operation.
• Deleting a record does not change the cumulative total values.
Use the Recall Mode to recall and delete data stored by
Exercise Stopwatch Mode operation.
• All of the operations in this section are performed in the
Recall Mode, which you enter by pressing C.
About Memory Management
This watch has enough memory to store 30 exercise
records. Each exercise record includes the following
entries: elapsed time, distance covered, calories burned,
and recording date. In addition, the watch also stores the
cumulative total distance and cumulative calories burned
each time you perform a stopwatch operation.
• Exercise records are arranged in the order they are
recorded.
• When exercise record memory becomes full, performing
another Exercise Stopwatch Mode operation causes the
oldest exercise record in memory to be deleted to make
room for the new record.

Inputting Basic Data
You can use the Basic Data Input Mode to input your
stride length, weight, age, and target calorie value. The
Exercise Stopwatch Mode uses the basic data you input
for calculating distance covered and the number of
calories burned while jogging or running.
• All of the operations in this section are performed in the
Basic Data Input Mode, which you enter by pressing C.
Basic Data
The term “basic data” refers to information about your
Stride length
Stride Length screen
Stride Length
You can specify either inches (in) or centimeters (cm) as the stride length unit. The
unit you specify for the stride length unit also determines the unit of measurement
used for the distance value in the Exercise Stopwatch Mode and Recall Mode, as
shown below.
Stride Length

• Whenever you want to change the stride length unit, you must first reset the
Cumulative Total screen to zero. See “To delete an exercise record” for information
about how to do this.
• The following examples illustrate how you can calculate values for this setting.

330 (yards) ÷ 239 (steps) X 36 = 49.70 (approximately 50 inches)

Age
You can set the age value in 1-year increments in the range from 13 to 20 years. In
the range from 20 to 70, you can set the age value in 10-year increments.
Target Calorie Value
When a target calorie value is set, the watch beeps and the TARGET indicator flashes
on the display during an Exercise Stopwatch Mode time measurement operation to let
you know when you reach the target. You can set a target value from 10 to 990 kcal,
in units of 10 kcal.
Important!
• You cannot change basic data settings while an Exercise Stopwatch Mode time
measurement operation is in progress. Stopwatch operation must be stopped and
the Stopwatch screen must be cleared to all zeros before you can change basic
data settings.
To recall the currently set basic data
In the Basic Data Input Mode, use A and D to scroll through the basic data screens
as shown below.
