short beeps at the top of each countdown minute.

• 30 seconds before the end of the countdown, the watch emits four short beeps.

• The watch emits a short beep for each of the last 10 seconds of the countdown.

• If the countdown start time is six minutes or greater, the watch emits a short beep for

each second of the final 10 seconds before the five-minute point is reached. Four
short beeps are emitted to signal when the five-minute point is reached.
