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.

applied in the Alarm Mode.
Timekeeping Mode Notes
· In the Timekeeping Mode (except when making setting), press C
C
C
C
C to switch be-
tween the 12-hour and 24-hour formats.
· With the 12-hour format, the P (PM) indicator appears to the left of the hour digits
for times in the range of noon to 11:59 pm and the A (AM) indicator appears to the
left of the hour digits for times in the range of midnight to 11:59 am.
· With the 24-hour format, times are indicated in the range of 00:00 to 23:59, without
any indicator.
· The year can be set in the range of 1995 to 2039.
· The watch's built-in full automatic calendar automatically make allowances for dif-
ferent month lengths and leap years. Once you set the date, there should be no
reason to change it except after the replacement of the watch's battery.
Backlight Precautions
· The electro-luminescent (EL) panel loses illuminating power after very long use.
· The illumination provided by the backlight may be hard to see when viewed under
direct sunlight.
· The watch will emit an audible sound whenever the display is illuminated. It does
not indicate malfunction of the watch.
· The backlight automatically turns off whenever an alarm sounds.
· Normally the backlight lights when you press the L
L
L
L
L button. In the Exercise Stop-
watch Mode, pressing A
A
A
A
A or C
C
C
C
C also causes the backlight to light for about one
second.
Auto light switch precautions
· Avoid wearing the watch on the inside of your wrist. Doing so causes the auto light
switch to operate when it is not needed, which shortens battery life.
· The backlight turns off in about one second, even if you keep the watch pointed
towards your face.
· The backlight may not light if the face of the watch is more than 15 degrees off the
parallel as shown below. Make sure that the back of your hand is parallel to the
ground.
· Static electricity or magnetic force can interfere with proper operation of the auto
light switch. If the backlight does not light, try moving the watch back to the starting
position (parallel with the ground) and then tilt it back toward you again. If this does
not work, drop your arm all the way down so it hangs at your side, and then bring it
back up again.
· Under certain conditions the backlight may not light until about one second or less
after turn the face of the watch towards you. This does not necessarily indicate
malfunction of the backlight.
Exercise Stopwatch Mode Precautions
· The values for the number of calories burned produced by this watch include both
calories normally burned through normal metabolism and rest and extra calories
burned by jogging or running.
· This watch is set up to calculate calories burned by women while jogging. Men
should increase the values produced by this watch by 5%.
· You can use the lap time measurement to time how long it takes to complete a
specific portion (such as a single lap) of a race.
· You can use split time measurement to time how long it takes to get from the start
to a specific point in a race.
· Whenever a lap time or split time is on the display in the Exercise Stopwatch Mode,
the graphic area shows the difference between the current and last lap.
Plus
Minus (seconds)
· While the stopwatch is running, the animation are shows either a pig (
), a
leopard (
), or a person (
), depending on the number of calories burned.
Exercise Stopwatch Mode memory management
· Measuring time with the stopwatch causes the date, elapsed time, and calories
burned to be stored under a run number. If you measured lap and split times, they
are also stored, along with a best lap time.
· This watch has enough memory to store up to 60 records. Date, run number, and
calories burned take up one record. Each time (elapsed time, lap time, split time,
best lap) takes up one record. The following shows some examples of how memory
can be used, but other combinations are also possible.
Data Configuration
Elapsed time only
(plus date, run number, calories)
30
58 lap or split times
(plus date, run number, calories, best time)
1
· When memory becomes full, the next stopwatch measurement operation automat-
ically deletes the oldest record number to make room for the new data. Note that
data is deleted in record number units, so all split/lap times under the run number
are deleted.
· The lap/split number flashes on the display when an ongoing stopwatch operation
causes memory to become full.
Basic Data
The term
basic data refers to information about pacer value, your current weight,
age, and stride length.
· Be sure to update basic data values whenever the person using the watch chang-
es.
Pacer Value
The speed of the pacer signal is determined by the pacer value, which is the number
of beats per minute. You can set the pacer value in increments of 5, in the range of
100 to 200.
Age
You can set the age value in 1-year increments in the range from 13 to 19 years. In
the range from 20 to 70, you can set the age value in 10-year increments.
Weight
You can set your current weight value in increments of 1 kg, in the range of 30 to 150
kg. Those lighter than 30 kg should use the minimum setting, while those heavier
than 150 kg should use the maximum setting.
Stride Length
You can set stride length values in increment of 5 cm, in the range of 40 to 190 cm.
The following examples illustrate how you can calculate values for these setting.
· 239 steps required to jog around a 300-meter track.
300 (meters)
÷ 239 (steps) = 1.255 (approximately 126 cm)
· 25 steps required to run the length of a tennis court (23.77 meters).
23.77 (meters)
÷ 25 (steps) = 0.9508 (approximately 95 cm)
