Useful Hints - Optimum Time Ultimate Event Watch Gebrauchsanleitung

COUNTUP OPTION
1. Once in the timer mode press the "CLEAR" button. This will only function if the timer is not running.
(If the timer is running press the "STOP" button first and then press the "CLEAR" button). This display
will now show 0.00.
2. Press the "START" button and the timer will countup from zero in minutes and seconds up to a
maximum of 59 mins 59 secs. The display will also show the word "COUNTUP".
3. During countup the timer can be stopped and restarted as many times as required.
4. The countup option has an alarm which sounds every minute. For each of the 3 seconds prior to
every full minute the alarm will sound 4 short "pips" followed by a "peep" lasting the whole second
exactly on the full minute.
PROGRAMMED COUNTDOWN MODE
1. To utilise the programmed countdown option first leave the clock mode by pressing the
"MODE" button.
2. If the timer is running press the "STOP" button.
3. Press the "CLEAR" button. (The display will now show 0.00)
4. Press the "MINUTES" button (marked "MIN") to programme in the required minutes, and the
"SECONDS" button (marked "SEC") to programme in the required minutes. The display will
now show your programmed time. This will probably be the optimum time for the cross country
phase (or steeplechase).
5. Press the "START" button and the timer will countdown in minutes and seconds towards zero.
The display will also show the word "COUNTDOWN".
6. During countdown the timer can be stopped and restarted as many times as required.

7. When the timer has counted down to 0.00 an alarm sounds. This continues to sound for
exactly one minute. Upon reaching zero the timer will begin to countup again. The display will
also change to show the word "COUNTUP".
Therefore if you programme in the optimum time and countdown during the cross country and
press the "STOP" button as you go through the finish the display will either show your time under
or over the optimum time. E.g. if the display shows 0.09 and the word "COUNTDOWN" and the
alarm has not sounded then you are 9 seconds inside the optimum time. If the display shows
0.09 and the word "COUNTUP" and the alarm has been sounding for 9 seconds then you are 9
seconds over the optimum time.

USEFUL HINTS

1. You may wish to programme 1 minute less than the optimum time. That way the alarm will sound with a minute
to go. If you finish the course before the alarm stops you are inside the optimum time.
2. If you have a horse that is difficult to get into the start box or to avoid having to start your watch just as you should
start the course, you can add say 30 seconds to the optimum time and get the starter to count you down to 30
seconds before you start. You can start your watch early and then be free to concentrate on getting your horse
into the start box for a successful start.
3. The watch can be worn just like any normal watch on the wrist. However if the display is not convenient to look
at, then the whole timer case can be turned inside the outer clip to get a better viewing angle.
4. If you prefer to have the watch on top of the hand, then the timer should be removed from the outer clip, & the
elasticated strap removed from the outer clip. The outer clip can then be sewed to a glove using the 2 holes
already in the clip. The timer can then be pushed back into the outer clip at whatever angle is required.
