Countdown Mode Beeper Operations
The watch beeps at various times during a countdown to keep you informed
about the countdown status without looking at the display. The following
describes the types of beeper operations the watch performs during a
countdown.
Countdown End Beeper
The watch beeps each second of the final 10 seconds before a countdown
reaches zero, and at zero. The first five beeps (seconds 10 through 6) are
higher pitched than the final five beeps (seconds 5 through 1). The watch
emits a longer beep to signal when the countdown reaches zero.
Note
The countdown end beeper always sounds, regardless of the on/off status of
the progress beeper.
Progress Beeper
The term "progress beeper" actually includes two beepers: a reset time
beeper and a reset period progress beeper .
Note
The reset time beeper and reset period progress beeper sound only while the
progress beeper is turned on.
• Reset Time Beeper
The reset time beeper is similar to the countdown end beeper. When the
progress beeper is turned on, the watch beeps each second of the final 10
seconds before the countdown reaches the reset time.
• Reset Period Progress Beeper
The reset period is the portion of the countdown between the reset time and
zero. When the progress beeper is turned on, the watch emits fours short
beeps at the top of each minute during the reset period.
