The stopwatch continues to run, restarting from zero after it reaches its limit, until
you stop it.
The stopwatch measurement operation continues even if you exit the Stopwatch
Mode.
For information about how stopwatch times are stored in memory, see Memory
Management.
Viewing the Stopwatch Digital Displays
The information that appears in the watchs upper and lower digital displays depends
on whether you are measuring lap times or split times.
Lap Time Measurement
Upper Display: Lap time
Lower Display: Elapsed time
Split Time Measurement
Upper Display: Lap time
Lower Display: Elapsed time (Split time appears here for eight seconds as it is stored
in memory.)
See To measure elapsed time with lap times and To measure elapsed time with
split times for more information about each type of measurement.
You can perform elapsed time measurement starting from either the lap time screen
or the split time screen. Whenever you enter the Stopwatch Mode, the screen (lap
time or split time) that was displayed when you last exited the mode will appear first.
During a stopwatch elapsed time operation, the upper display initially shows
minutes, seconds, and a 1/100-second value. This changes to hours, minutes, and
seconds when the time in the upper display exceeds 60 minutes.
The lower display initially shows hours, minutes, seconds, and a 1/100-second
value. This changes to hours, minutes, and seconds when the time in the lower
display exceeds 10 hours.

Scrolling
The B and D buttons are used in various modes and setting screens to scroll
through data on the display. In most cases, holding down these buttons during a scroll
operation scrolls through the data at high speed.
Timekeeping
Resetting the seconds to 00 while the current count is in the range of 30 to 59
causes the minutes to be increased by 1. In the range of 00 to 29, the seconds are
reset to 00 without changing the minutes.
The year can be set in the range of 2000 to 2099.
The watchs built-in full automatic calendar makes allowances for different month
lengths and leap years. Once you set the date, there should be no reason to change
it except after you have the watchs batteries replaced.
Illumination Precautions
The electro-luminescent panel that provides illumination loses power after very long
use.
Illumination may be hard to see when viewed under direct sunlight.
The watch may emit an audible sound whenever the display is illuminated. This is
due to vibration of the EL panel used for illumination, and does not indicate
malfunction.
Illumination turns off automatically whenever an alarm sounds.
Frequent use of illumination runs down the batteries.
