Countdown Mode Beeper Operations
The watch beeps at various times during a countdown to keep you 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/Stopwatch Graphics
Graphic indicators move in a counter-clockwise direction during countdown timer operation and clockwise during stopwatch operation. � The zero point for both the minute�s indicator and the second�s indicator is the 12 o�clock position. � The factory default setting is graphics turned off.

Countdown End Beeper
The watch beeps each second of the final 10 seconds before a countdown reaches zero, and at zero. The first five beeps (seconds 10 through 6) are higher pitched than the final five beeps (seconds 5 through 1). The watch emits a longer beep to signal when the countdown reaches zero. Note The countdown end beeper always sounds, regardless of the on/off status of the progress beeper.

Progress Beeper
The term �progress beeper� actually includes two beepers: a reset time beeper and a reset period progress beeper.
Minute�s indicator

� During a countdown operation, the graphic indicators move counter-clockwise. � One revolution of the second�s indicator represents 10 seconds. � The minute�s indicator appears when the countdown time is 10 minutes or less. The minute�s indicator advances one step with each full revolution of the second�s indicator. One revolution of the minute�s indicator represents 10 minutes.

Note The reset time beeper and reset period progress beeper sound only while the progress beeper is turned on. � Reset Time Beeper The reset time beeper is similar to the countdown end beeper. When the progress beeper is turned on, the watch beeps each second of the final 10 seconds before the countdown reaches the reset time. � Reset Period Progress Beeper The reset period is the portion of the countdown between the reset time and zero. When the progress beeper is turned on, the watch emits fours short beeps at the top of each minute during the reset period. Example 1 Countdown Start Time: 10'00" Reset Time: 5'00" Progress Beeper: On
