COUNTDOWN TIMER:
To allow you to take hands-free measurements from a running
start, the SpeedMAte offers the choice of four countdown
starts: 10-minute, 6-minute, 5-minute and 3-minute. In each
case, once the countdown timer reaches zero, the speed,
distance and time will be zeroed and will immediately begin
counting up with no button presses needed. The display units
(KT, MPH, KMH or M/S) and display mode (time, max or
average) will be the same as they were before the countdown
timer was started, so be sure to follow the directions on the
previous page to make these selections before starting the
countdown timer.

CALIBRATION:
If you need to measurespeeds and distances very accurately,
you can calibrate your unit. To calibrate, travel over a known
distance on a body of water with no current while using your
SpeedMate. Divide the true distance by the distance shown
on your display and multiply by 1000 to obtain the calibration
value:
true value
displayed value
For example: if you know you have sailed 1 mile, but your
display shows 0.96, your calibration value would be 1042:
1.00
0.96
Once you have calculated your calibration value, follow the
steps shown to enter it. Make a record of your calibration value
for future reference! You may need to re-enter it after changing
the battery.
