About Stopwatch Memory
Whenever you perform a stopwatch operation, measured times are automatically
stored into memory along with the lap number. You can store up to 30 lap/split times in
memory. If you perform more than 30 lap/split time operations, the memory will contain
the times for the last 29 laps/splits (as lap/split numbers 1 through 29), and the final
lap and split time (as lap/split 30).
• Both lap time and split time data is stored in memory, regardless of whether you
performed a lap time or split time measurement.
• Data in lap/split memory is cleared whenever you start a new stopwatch operation.
• The final elapsed time or final lap/split time is stored in memory when you press A
to stop the stopwatch.
Recalling Data from Memory
1. Use C to enter the Recall Mode.
• The lower part of the display first shows the lap
number and then the corresponding split time in
memory. The upper part of the display shows the
corresponding lap time.
2. Press B to scroll forward through the data items.
Deleting the Data from Memory
To delete all data currently in memory, enter the Recall
Mode and then hold down
A until the time display
resets to all zeros.
• Data cannot be cleared from memory while a
Stopwatch Mode measurement operation is in
progress.
