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.
The countdown timer can be set within a range of one
minute to 24 hours. An alarm sounds when the countdown
