setting different functions.
LAP/CLEAR/SET button sets digits for Time, Alarm, and
Timer and records lap times in Chronograph mode.

made them consistent – once you know how to set Time, you can set the Alarm.

Notes on Setting Time of Day, Date and Alarm
• Pressing any key during reminder messages will cancel them and let you start setting the
watch.
• During setting, the reminder arrows will pop-up to help you remember which buttons to press.
• You can set the watch to display time in 24-hour format, sometimes called "military" or
"international" time. Press START/STOP to change between 12 HR and 24 HR.
• You can set the date to display Month/Date or Day/Date. In regular Time mode (not Set
mode), press and hold START/STOP for 3 seconds to change between Month/Date and
Day/Date format.
• Whenever you set the Alarm, it will automatically arm itself. Refer to the Alarm section for
more details.

way point.

Press LAP/CLEAR/SET to begin setting . Instructions for setting Alarm can be found above
in "Setting the Time of Day, Date and Alarm".
In regular Alarm mode (not Set mode), press START/STOP to turn Alarm feature on and off.
Display will show "ON" or "OFF" to right of Alarm minutes. If Alarm is "ON", it will generate
a melody when Time of Day is the same as the Alarm time. As a reminder, when the Alarm
is ON, an Alarm clock symbol will appear to the left of the date while in Time of Day.
Alarm melody will sound for 20 seconds, but can be stopped by pressing any button. If it is
allowed to sound for the full 20 seconds, a backup alarm will automatically sound after 5
more minutes, much like a snooze feature.
