Vibration Alert

When Vibration Alert is turned on, the watch vibrates instead of sounding a beeper. This lets you use the watch without disturbing others with beeping sounds.

• Vibration Alert can be used to replace alarm sounds.

• For information about selecting the alert type, see “To switch between vibration alert

and beeper alert” below.

• For information about countdown timer alerts, see “Countdown Timer”.

• For information about the daily alarm and hourly time signal alerts, see “Alarms”.

• Watches with a metal band may produce a noise when a vibration operation is

performed. This is due to vibration of the metal band, and does not indicate malfunction of the watch.

Configuring Countdown Timer Settings

The following are the settings you should configure before actually using the countdown timer.

Countdown start time and reset time Timer mode (auto-repeat, elapsed time)

• See “To configure countdown timer settings” for information about setting up the timer.

Reset Time

You can set a “reset time,” which is a kind of alternate countdown start time. After you set a reset time, you can recall it with the press of a button any time a countdown operation is in progress.

Timer Mode

The countdown timer gives you a choice of two modes: auto-repeat and elapsed time.

Auto-repeat

Auto-repeat automatically restarts the countdown from the countdown start time whenever zero is reached.

• Auto-repeat mode is best when timing the starts of match races.

• Even if you start a countdown operation from the reset time, the countdown

automatically restarts from the countdown start time whenever it reaches zero.

• Auto repeat timing repeats up to seven times.

Elapsed Time

When the end of the countdown is reached in the elapsed time mode, the timer automatically switches to an elapsed time measurement operation.

• The elapsed time mode is best when timing the speed of yachts during ocean races.

• The elapsed time operation is performed in one-second increments up to 99 hours,

59 minutes, 59 seconds.

Countdown Timer Alert Operations

While a countdown is in progress, the watch performs various different alert operations, so you can keep informed of the countdown status, without looking at the watch display. The following explains each of the countdown timer alert operations.

Countdown End Alert

The following countdown alert operations are performed for each of the final ten seconds of the countdown, and when the countdown reaches zero.

Final seconds 10 through 6 (5 times)

Final seconds 5 through 1 (5 times)

When the countdown reaches zero

• Except in the Stopwatch Mode, all buttons are disabled while a countdown end alert

Progress Alert

There are two types of progress alert: a reset time alert and a reset period progress alert.

Reset Time Aler t

The reset time alert is similar to the alert operations performed for each of the final 10 seconds of a countdown. For the reset time alert, the watch performs an alert operation for each of the final 10 seconds before the reset time is reached.

• Except in the Stopwatch Mode, all buttons are disabled while a reset time alert is

Reset Period Progress Alert

The reset period is the portion of the countdown between the reset time and zero. During the reset period, the watch performs an alert operation at the top of each minute, and at the point 30 seconds before the end of the countdown is reached. Each reset period progress alert operation consists of four short beeps or two vibrations, depending on the type of alert that is selected.

being performed.

Reset Time Alert

The countdown timer can be set within a range of one minute to 60 minutes. The currently selected alert operation (beeper or vibration) is performed when the end of the countdown is reached. The countdown timer has two modes: auto-repeat and elapsed time. A progress alert (beeper or vibration) signals the progress of the countdown. All of this makes the countdown timer a valuable tool for timing the start of a yacht race.

• You can select either beeper alert or vibration alert for the alarm. The explanations in this section are based on the beeper alert, unless stated otherwise.

• All of the operations in this section are performed in the Countdown Timer Mode, which you enter by pressing D.
