COUNTDOWN ALARM TIMING

1. Clear the display to zero.

2. Press the MIN (minutes) button to advance the minutes digits. Press and hold down the MIN button to rapidly advance the minutes.

3. Press the SEC (seconds) button to advance the seconds digits. Press and hold down the SEC button to rapidly advance the seconds.

4. Once the desired time is on the display, press the START/STOP button to begin countdown timing.

5. When the timer reaches zero, an alarm will sound and the timer will begin counting up.

The alarm will sound for one minute and then turn off automatically to preserve battery life while the timer continues counting up.

2. When the alarm starts, press the START/STOP button to stop the alarm and recall the last programmed time.

If you wish to clear the display to zero when time is running, you must first stop the timing by pressing the START/STOP button, then press the MIN and SEC buttons simultaneously. The timer will only clear when time is stopped.

STOPWATCH (COUNT-UP) TIMING

1. Clear the display to zero.

2. Press the START/STOP button to begin count-up timing.

3. Press the START/STOP button to stop count-up timing.

Once timing is completed and the timer has been stopped, press the MIN and SEC buttons simultaneously to clear the display to zero.

TIMEOUT The timer may be stopped during any running time by pressing the START/STOP button. Timing may be resumed by pressing the START/STOP button a second time.

CONVERT A TIMEOUT TO A COUNTDOWN TIME The timer may be stopped during any running time (countdown or count-up) by pressing the START/STOP button. Once the timing has been stopped, pressing the MIN or SEC button will increment the display from the point that it was

stopped and will set the timer into countdown mode. Once the desired time is on the display, press the START/STOP button to begin countdown timing.

ALL OPERATIONAL DIFFICULTIES If this timer does not function properly for any reason, replace the battery with a new high quality battery (see the “Battery Replacement” section). Low battery power can occasionally cause any number of “apparent” operational difficulties. Replacing the battery with a new fresh battery will solve most difficulties.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

An incorrect display, no display or operational difficulties indicate that the battery should be replaced. Slide open the battery cover on the back of the timer. Insert a new AAA alkaline battery. Make certain to note the proper polarity as indicated by the diagram in the battery compartment. Replace the battery cover.
