SECTION 6 – HOW TO USE THE CHRONOGRAPH
The chronograph (or stopwatch) is used to measure elapsed time
from a beginning point; for instance, to time a race. It can be used to
record segments of your training routine so that you can evaluate
your progress.
To enter CHRONOGRAPH mode, press MODE once
from NORMAL TIME display. You are now in the
CHRONOGRAPH mode.
In the CHRONOGRAPH mode, select either SPLIT or
LAP by pressing SET. (Note: Chronograph must be
set to zero to switch between SPLIT and LAP.) The
word “SPLIT” or “LAP” will alternate with each press.
The SPLIT chronograph allows the user to view total accumulated
time at a particular interval while continuing to accumulate total time.
The LAP chronograph allows the user to view the elapsed time for an
interval but resets to zero to measure the discrete time of the next
interval.
For example, if a runner ran one mile in four
equal one minute intervals on a quarter mile track
and the user pressed SPLIT/RESET at the end of
each quarter mile, the display would show as
illustrated.
SPLIT LAP
1/4 1.00 1.00
2/4 2.00 1.00
3/4 3.00 1.00
4/4 4.00 1.00
STANDARD CHRONOGRAPH WITH NET/ELAPSED TIME
In either SPLIT or LAP mode, standard (pause) chronograph
operations are as follows:

display, indicating that timing has begun, and that you are on lap 1.
NOTE: You can leave CHRONOGRAPH mode while the chronograph
is running. From NORMAL TIME, press MODE once to reenter
CHRONOGRAPH mode.
B. Press STOP/RESET to stop the timing. The chronograph will stop
running.
C. Press START/SPLIT to resume timing OR
Press STOP/RESET to clear the chronograph and return the lower
display to zero.
ADVANCED CHRONOGRAPH WITH SPLIT OR LAP TIMING

B. Press START/SPLIT to temporarily freeze the chronograph readout
and measure a split or a lap. Either SPLIT or LAP will flash,
indicating that a split or lap time has been taken, and that the
chronograph is continuing to time the event.
C. After 10 seconds, the watch will resume showing the running lap or
split time. LP.02 will appear on the upper display, indicating that
you are on the second lap. You can count up to 99 laps in this
manner. To resume showing the time before 10 seconds have
passed, press MODE.
D. When the event ends, press STOP/RESET. The watch will end
timing. The lower display will indicate the final lap time (if LAP was
selected) or the total event time (if SPLIT was selected). The upper
display will indicate the total number of laps taken in the event.
E. To begin a new event, press STOP/RESET. This will clear the
chronograph and return the lower display to zero. You are now
ready to repeat Steps A through E.
NOTE: If you need to pause the chronograph during the timing, press
STOP/RESET. Press START/SPLIT to resume timing the event,
or STOP/RESET to clear the chronograph and return the lower display
to zero.
The chronograph will count minutes, seconds and hundredths for the
