Countdown Timer Beeper Operations
The watch beeps at various times during a countdown so you can keep
informed about the countdown status without looking at the display. The
following describes the types of beeper operations the watch performs during
a countdown.
Countdown End Beeper
The watch beeps each second of the final 10 seconds before a countdown reaches zero, and at zero. The
watch emits a longer beep to signal when the countdown reaches zero.
The countdown end beeper always sounds and cannot be turned off.
Progress Beeper
The progress beeper sounds at the 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1-minute point, and 30-second point of the countdown.
If you set a countdown start time of 2 to 5 minutes, the progress beeper will start to sound after the
first minute is counted down. If you set a countdown start time of 3 minutes, for example, the progress
beeper will start to sound when the countdown reaches the 2-minute point.
If you set a countdown start time of 1 minute, the progress beeper will sound once when the
countdown reaches the 30-second point.
The progress beeper always sounds and cannot be turned off.
