EXERCISE STOPWATCH MODE
The Exercise Stopwatch Mode provides you with a 1/100-
second stopwatch for measuring elapsed time and lap/
split times. Elapsed time measured in the Exercise Stop-
watch Mode is used in combination with data you input in
the Basic Data Input Mode to calculate the number of cal-
ories you burn while jogging or running.
• Whenever you perform a stopwatch time measurement
operation, the date, elapsed time, and calories burned
are automatically stored in memory. Data in memory can
be viewed using the Recall Mode.
Measuring Elapsed Time
1. In the Exercise Stopwatch Mode, press
AA
AA
A to start the
stopwatch.
2. Press
AA
AA
A to stop the stopwatch.
• You can resume the measurement operation by press-
ing
AA
AA
A again.

this time resumes the stopwatch operation, starting from
the displayed time.
• Pressing

C while the stopwatch is stopped and a time is on the display clears the
stopwatch to all zeros. Note that you must press
CC
CC
C to clear the stopwatch to all
zeros before you can perform certain stopwatch operations.
• When the stopwatch is cleared, the upper part of the display periodically changes
between the mode indicator and remaining memory value.
Recording Lap or Split Times
1. Press
AA
AA
A to start the stopwatch.
2. Press

display for about seven seconds. Then the screen auto-
matically changes back to the stopwatch (elapsed time)
screen.
• Holding down
DD
DD

play to change between the lap time (
LAP
displayed)
and split time (
SPL
displayed).
3. You can repeat step 2 as many times as you want.
4. Press
AA
AA
A to stop the time measurement.
• About seven seconds after you press

showing the number of calories burned appears on the display.
5. After the number of calories burned value appears, press
CC
CC
C to clear the stopwatch
to all zeros.
• The data is stored as lap or split times depending on the last operation you perform.
If you measure a lap time and then a split time, all the lap/split times stored in
memory are shown as split times in the Recall Mode.
How the Watch Counts Calories
• The watch calculates the number of calories you consume using the elapsed time
measured in the Exercise Stopwatch Mode and the age, weight and other data you
input in the Basic Data Input Mode. The calorie calculations made by this watch will
not be correct unless you input your own personal basic data.
• The watch also sounds a pacer signal to that you should use as a reference to
control the intensity of your workouts. See “About the Pacer Signal” for details.
• The calorie value on the display is updated every 30 seconds while a stopwatch
operation is in progress.
RECALL MODE
The Recall Mode is used to recall and delete data that is
stored by Exercise Stopwatch Mode operations.
• Data is assigned a run number when it is stored in mem-
ory. The oldest data is run number 01 data.
• Whenever you enter the Recall Mode, the newest (high-
est run number) data appears first.
Recalling Stopwatch Data
1. In the Recall Mode, press
