BEAT COUNTER MODE
The Beat Counter Mode can be used to produce an audible
signal in accordance with BPM (beats per minute) value,
which is like a digital metronome that can be used for a
variety of different musical applications.
• The letters “BPM” stand for “beats per minute” in this
manual.
• Any time you enter the Beat Counter Mode, the last BPM
value you set appears on the display.
• If you do not operate any button for one hour while in the
Beat Counter Mode, the watch automatically goes back
to the Timekeeping Mode.
To play the beat signal
In the Beat Counter Mode, press B to start a digital beat signal that sounds at the
speed indicated by the BPM value. The higher the BPM value, the faster the beat.
• The digital beat signal sounds for one minute or until you press any button to stop it.

Setting the BPM value
There are two ways you can set the BPM value: by counting beats of some music or
rhythm, or by manually inputting a value.
To count beats
1. In the Beat Counter Mode, press L six times in
accordance with the beat of the music or rhythm.
• Each time you press L , the number on the display
changes in the following sequence:
1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 0
2. After you press L the sixth time, the watch calculates an
average number of beats per minute and sets the
applicable BPM value.
• Note that you must press L all six times for this procedure to work correctly.
• If you do not press L within about three seconds after you last pressed it, the watch
automatically cancels the beat count procedure.
• The above procedure sets a value in the range of 60 to 200 beats, in 5-beat steps.
To manually input a value
1. In the Beat Counter Mode, hold down A until the BPM values starts to flash.
2. Press C to increase the BPM value in units of 5 or B to decrease it. Holding down
either button changes the setting at high speed.
• You can set the BPM value within a range of 60 to 200.
• Pressing B and C at the same time changes the BPM value to its standard setting of
120.
3. After you input the BPM value, press A to return to the normal Beat Counter Mode
screen.
