There are 6 buttons on the watch, and to prevent confusion I will identify each by its location upper right,
lower left on the side, lower left on the face, etc. Each button tends to have the same sort of function in
most watch modes, and given only that information, you can figure out most things with your watch, so
I'll give those functions first.

MODE also called PREVIOUS

The lower button on the left side - moves you around outside the modes. (Or backward through the
inside of a mode.)

INDIGLO

The upper button on the left side activates the Indiglo nightlight.

STOP/RESET also called SCROLL DOWN (button with a raised line)

The lower left button on the face makes changes downward.

START/SPLIT also called LAP-NEXT (button with 3 raised bumps)

The lower right button on the face moves you around forward inside the modes.

RECALL also called SCROLL UP

The upper button on the right side makes changes upward.

SET also called STATUS

The lower button on the right side gets you into and out of setting mode.

1. SETTING THE WATCH.

SETTING

1. First, find the regular time mode by pressing the MODE button until the time (with the date at the
top) shows.

2. Press & hold the SET button until the word ENTER disappears and is replaced by the word TIME.
Release that button. You'll notice that at the top of the display, the words SET T1 or SET - T2.
This is where you select between setting the 1st time zone or the 2nd time zone. Select between T1
or T2 by pressing the RECALL button or the STOP/RESET button.

3. Press either the MODE or the START/SPLIT button. You'll notice that whatever is blinking is

what you can change. You can make the changes by pressing either the RECALL or the
STOP/RESET button. You can change the Seconds, the Hours, the Minutes, the Month, the Date,
the Year, and choose between 12 hour (civilian) or 24 hour (military) time. If you keep MODE or
START/SPLIT button, you will go through all the things you can change and start again at the
beginning. The START/SPLIT button goes through these things forward, and the MODE goes
through the backwards, so if you pass something and want to back up, just switch buttons. In the
same way, the RECALL changes things by making them larger, and STOP/RESET changes them
by making them smaller, so if you accidentally pass the number you're trying to set it to, just
switch to the other button and go back.

EXAMPLE OF SETTING THE WATCH

Suppose you want to set the hours and the date in the 2nd Time Zone. (Just as an example, but setting any
other time or date settings would be the same.)

1. Press the lower left button on the side (MODE) until you see the date & time.

2. Press & hold the lower right button on the side (SET) until the word TIME appears on the display,
then release it.

3. If SET T1 is showing, then press & release the upper right button on the side (RECALL) to
change it to T2 (because we're wanting to set the 2nd Time Zone we'd leave this unchanged if we
wanted to set the 1st time zone, T1.)

4. Press & release the lower right button on the face (START/SPLIT) twice, skipping the seconds.
You should see the hours flashing.

5. Press & release the upper right button on the side (RECALL) repeatedly until you have the hours
position set to what you want it to be. If you pass the hour you want, go to the lower left button on
the face (STOP/RESET) and press & release it to back up.

6. Press & release the lower right button on the face (START/SPLIT) three times, skipping minutes
and months, so that the date begins flashing. Press the RECALL button until you have the date
you want. (You can go backwards by pressing the STOP/RESET.)

7. When you're done, and you've set everything you want to, press & release the SET button once to
tell the watch you're through setting and to lock those settings in.

2. CHRONO (Stopwatch)

1. Travel to the Chronograph mode by pressing & releasing the MODE button once from regular
time. The display should say CHRONO for a moment, which is then replaced by the chronograph
readings. The readings show the laps at the top in small letters, the splits in the middle in large
letters, and at the bottom the segment you are on. (Or next segment you'll start, if you are between
segments.) I'll put definitions for these terms at the bottom of the Chrono section, in case they're
needed.

2. If your laps and splits say anything besides 00, you'll probably want to clear them out before you
get started. Look at STORING & CLEARING THE CHRONO (below) to see how.

TIMING WITH THE CHRONO

1. Press & release the START/SPLIT button (on the right on the face). The chronograph will begin
to run. Laps and splits should say the same thing, since you are on your first lap. To indicate the
beginning of the next lap, press & release the START/SPLIT button again. It will pause for 10
seconds, as if stopped. It's not stopped in fact it's already gone on to the next lap, but it pauses for
10 seconds so you can see how well you did in your last lap. After those 10 seconds, it will revert
back to the next lap. The top line on the display will show how long you've been in the current lap,
and the middle line will show the amount of time you've been in the event. The bottom line will
show which segment you are in, and which lap you are in.
