SIMULTANEOUS USE OF COUNT
DOWN, COUNT UP & CLOCK:

The count down, count up and clock functions all operate independently of each other. That is, one may
use the count down function to alert when a passage of time is up, use the count up function to time the
duration of an event and monitor the clock-all at the same time.

The function selected by the slide switch will be noted on the display as a steady name:

Count Down, Count Up, Clock. If another function is running in the background that name will blink.
