Stopwatch
The 1/1000-second stopwatch measures elapsed time, as well as lap/split times, and
has an Auto-Start feature. Measurements taken using the stopwatch can
be stored in memory for later recall with the Recall Mode.
• “Lap time” is the time spent to cover a specific segment of a race, such as one lap
around a track. “Split time” is the time spent from the beginning of a race up to a
certain point.
• For information about how data recorded with the stopwatch is stored in memory,
see “Memory Management”.
• The stopwatch measurement operation continues even if you exit the Stopwatch
Mode.
• The stopwatch continues to run, restarting from zero after it reaches its limit, until
you stop it.
• All of the operations in this section are performed in the Stopwatch Mode, which you
enter by pressing C.

About Auto-Start
With Auto-Start, the watch performs a 5-second countdown, and the elapsed time
operation starts automatically when the countdown reaches zero. Beeper and flash
alert operations are performed for each of the final four seconds of the countdown.
• When the end of the countdown is reached, a beeper operation is performed
followed by a flash alert operation. The alerts are performed separately to avoid
putting too much load on the battery at the same time.
• When Flash Alert is turned on, the red and green LEDs at the bottom of the display
will flash in time with the Auto-Start countdown beeper.
To use Auto-Start
• To terminate an ongoing countdown and start the elapsed time operation, press D.
• To cancel an ongoing countdown and return to the 5-second countdown screen,
press B.
Memory Management
Your watch has memory for two “elapsed time records”. Each elapsed time record
contains the data (elapsed time, lap times, split times, etc.) recorded from the
beginning to the end of an elapsed time measurement.
While an elapsed time operation is in progress in the Stopwatch Mode, the two
elapsed time records in memory are one for the data being produced by the elapsed
time operation you are performing and one for the data produced by the last elapsed
time operation you completed.
When there is no elapsed time operation in progress in the Stopwatch Mode (when
the stopwatch is reset to all zeros), the two elapsed time records in memory consist of
one for the data produced by the last elapsed time operation you completed and one
more record for the elapsed time operation before the last one.
• Whenever you start a new elapsed time operation, the older record currently in
memory is deleted automatically to make room for the new elapsed time data.
• You can use the Recall Mode to view the elapsed time records that currently are in
the watch’s memory.
Elapsed Time Record Data
Each elapsed time record contains the following data.
Total elapsed time
Up to 99 lap/split time records
Start date (month, day) and time of elapsed time measurement
Best lap time and number record
• Each elapsed time record can contain up to 99 lap/split times. The watch will not
store any more lap/split times after the 99th, but the best lap record will continue to
be updated whenever a new lap time betters the time of the current best lap record.
• If there are multiple lap times in an elapsed time record that are the same as the
time of the best lap, the earliest time is used as the best lap time.
• -- is shown for the best lap time if no lap/split time operation was performed during
the elapsed time operation.

Operation Guide 3095
Using Auto-start
• If you use Auto-start to start a stopwatch operation, the watch will interpret the
beginning of the Auto-start countdown as the starting point of the elapsed time
operation and will start recording elapsed time record data from there.
• If you press B to stop the Auto-start countdown, all of the data in the elapsed time
record will show -- to indicate that no data was stored.
Recall Mode
You can use the Recall Mode to view the elapsed time record data (elapsed time, lap
times, split times, etc.) that you measure with the Stopwatch Mode.
• When you enter the Recall Mode, the newest elapsed time record appears first.
• All of the operations in this section are performed in the Recall Mode, which you
enter by pressing C.
To view elapsed time record data
1. Press C to enter the Recall Mode.
• The Best Lap screen of the newer record that currently is in memory will appear
first.
• Press A when you want to switch to the other (older) record. Each press of A
toggles between the two records.
• The data that appears on the Best Lap screen depends on whether you are
viewing the data of a completed elapsed time operation or an ongoing elapsed
time operation.
• In the case of a completed elapsed time operation, the Best Lap screen will
display information like that shown.
• If an elapsed time operation is in progress in the Stopwatch Mode, what is shown
for the time on the Best Lap screen will depend on whether you have the elapsed
time screen or lap time screen selected in the Stopwatch Mode. If you have the
Elapsed Time screen selected in the Stopwatch Mode, the elapsed time will
appear on the Best Lap screen. If you have the Lap Time screen selected, the
lap/split time will appear on the Best Lap screen.

Auto Return Feature
If you leave a screen with flashing digits on the display for two or three minutes
without performing any operation, the watch exits the setting screen automatically.
Scrolling
The B and D buttons are used in various modes and setting screens to scroll
through data on the display. In most cases, holding down these buttons during a scroll
operation scrolls at high speed.
Initial Screens
When you enter the Stopwatch, Alarm or World Time Mode, the data you were
viewing when you last exited the mode appears first.
Timekeeping
• The year can be set in the range of 2000 to 2099.
• The watch’s built-in full automatic calendar makes allowances for different month
lengths and leap years. Once you set the date, there should be no reason to change
it except after you have the watch’s battery replaced.
World Time
• All World Time Mode times are calculated from the current Home City time in the
Timekeeping Mode using UTC time differential values.
• The seconds count of the World Time is synchronized with the seconds count of the
Timekeeping Mode.
• The UTC differential is a value that indicates the time difference between a
reference point in Greenwich, England and the time zone where a city is located.
• The letters “UTC” is the abbreviation for “Coordinated Universal Time”, which is the
world-wide scientific standard of timekeeping. It is based upon carefully maintained
atomic (cesium) clocks that keep time accurately to within microseconds.
Leap seconds are added or subtracted as necessary to keep UTC in sync with the
Earth’s rotation.
Illumination Precautions
• The electro-luminescent panel that provides illumination loses power after very long
use.
• Illumination may be hard to see when viewed under direct sunlight.
• The watch may emit an audible sound whenever the display is illuminated. This is
due to vibration of the EL panel used for illumination, and does not indicate
malfunction.
• Illumination turns off automatically whenever an alarm sounds.
• Frequent use of illumination runs down the battery.
Auto light switch precautions
• Avoid wearing the watch on the inside of your wrist. Doing so causes the auto light
switch to operate when it is not needed, which shortens battery life. If you want to
wear the watch on the inside of your wrist, turn off the auto light switch feature.
• Under certain conditions, illumination may not turn on until about one second after
you turn the face of the watch towards you. This does not necessarily indicate
malfunction of the auto light switch.
• You may notice a very faint clicking sound coming from the watch when it is shaken
back and forth. This sound is caused by mechanical operation of the auto light
switch, and does not indicate a problem with the watch.
In any mode (except when a setting screen is on the
display), hold down C to toggle the button operation tone
on (mute indicator not displayed) and off (mute indicator
displayed).
• Holding down C to turn the button operation tone on or
off also causes the watch’s current mode to change.
• The mute indicator is displayed in all modes when the
button operation tone is turned off.
• Illumination may not turn on if the face of the watch is
more than 15 degrees above or below parallel. Make
sure that the back of your hand is parallel to the ground.
• Illumination turns off in about one second, even if you
keep the watch pointed towards your face.
• Static electricity or magnetic force can interfere with
proper operation of the auto light switch. If illumination
does not turn on, try moving the watch back to the
starting position (parallel with the ground) and then tilt it
back towards you again. If this does not work, drop your
arm all the way down so it hangs at your side, and then
bring it back up again.
