Using Timer

• Lap and Reset button: The image on this button looks like a cir-
cular arrow initially. After you start the stopwatch, this button
becomes a lap button, and the image changes to a connected
arrow with an oval shape. This Lap button is useful when some-
one is doing laps in a swimming pool or on a track field and you
want to record how long each lap takes. Touch-press the button to
record the completion of a single lap. The lap and the lap time will
be listed on the screen. A lap is labeled as Lap 1 for the first lap,
Lap 2 for the second lap, and so on.
3. To start the stopwatch, touch-press the Stopwatch button.
4. To stop the stopwatch, touch-press the Stopwatch button again.
Have you overcooked something? Not if you have a good timer to warn you:
1. Touch-press Clock from the Home screen.
2. Touch-Press anywhere on the screen and then touch-press Timer.
A screen similar to the left side of Figure 6-7 appears. The left button
with the stopwatch image is the start and pause button. You can use the
right button with the circular arrow image to stop and reset the timer.
The default time for your timer is based on what you set earlier. If you
haven't set a time or you want to set a new time, proceed to the next
step.
