as voice alarm contents. The watch automatically use the standard beeper
alarm whenever there is nothing stored in voice memory. Deleting voice
memory contents while the voice alarm is turned on automatically switches
to the standard beeper alarm.
• When the voice alarm is turned on, all voice memory contents are played
back in sequence, starting from the lowest numbered voice memory area.
• When an alarm time is reached while the voice alarm is turned on, the
standard beeper alarm sounds for about one second and then voice
memory contents are played.
• The alarm operation (standard beeper alarm followed by voice memory
contents) is repeated for at least 20 seconds. If voice memory contents are
15 seconds long, for example, the alarm operation takes a total of 16
seconds, so two alarm operations are performed for a total of 32 seconds.
• If a single alarm operation takes more than 20 seconds, it is performed only
once.
• The voice alarm does not sound in the Stopwatch Mode. When an alarm
time is reached while the watch is in the Stopwatch Mode, the standard
beeper alarm sounds even when the voice alarm is turned on.
