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.

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.
