There are always two timers available (TIMER 1 and TIMER 2) which can be set independently of each other. Press until TIMER appears in the display. If you are not in a setting mode you can use the same button to, at any time, move to the next function. Selecting the timer (TIMER 1–TIMER 2) This brings you to the set mode for the timer.
The timers can not be active together at the same time. Some special functions can be carried out with the two timers: INT.LEAVE (Interleave): REPEAT (Repeat): CT BEEP (Countdown tone): After the countdown of timer 1, timer 2 starts automatically. As soon as the active timer has counted down (in Interleave after the countdown of timer 2), the counter begins again with the countdown.
As soon as the settings have been made, following commands are possible: Start the timer Stop the timer Reset the timer to the initial value (when the timer is stopped) Interrupt the sounding 20 second tone • Functions and operation 21
4.3 SPORT (STOPWATCH, VERTIC-LOG, PEER) In the SPORT function the stopwatch is available with up to 99 laps/interims (LAP). This data can be stored in a LOG at the end of the timing. The description on how to read-out the measuring blocks (LOG) can be found in chapter 4.4 The resolution is 1/100 seconds for lap times of up to 59 minutes. Thereafter and for the accumulated time the resolution is 1 second.
Please note: During the display ‘PEER SEARCHING’ you can start the stopwatch immediately with S/L (Chapter 4.3.1). The function PEER SEARCHING continues to run in the background (however, the flashing icons are no longer displayed, only as soon as a PEER has been found does the corresponding icon appear). It is also possible if no stopwatch is active to enter the setting mode immediately with the key EL2 (Chapter 4.3.2).
4.3.1 STOPWATCH with LAP and VERTIC-LOG function accumulated time of all LAPs in this measuring block running lap (LAP) Display of the pulse (only when the HEART PEER is available and is on the display with the heart icon) In addition, in the SPORT function, the VERTIC-LOG function is also activated/deactivated and then started via the stopwatch. If the VERTIC-LOG is switched on when climbing in the mountains, every 100 m net altitude ascent the climbing data is stored in the lap memory.
► STOPWATCH with LAP function Start and restart (“Restart”) the stopwatch Stops the running stopwatch ● When the stopwatch is running: Counts laps/interims. The stopwatch continues running. The LAP time with LAP No. remains on the display for five seconds. Then the running time of the new lap appears. Attention: For 5 seconds no other lap time can be measured, that means the buttons S/L and S/R are inactive during these 5 seconds.
● When the stopwatch is stopped Delete (ERASE) stopwatch times. The question “ERASE?” will appear on the display. To confirm, press the button again for 3 seconds. The data that has been deleted can not be retrieved! If you do not want to delete the data, press and release the S/R button again. With this button the data can be stored in the LOG. The prompt “HOLD TO SAVE” will appear. When the button is released you will return to the current display.
► STOPWATCH with VERTIC-LOG function To switch on this function and continue working with it the stopwatch must be on 0:00:00 and ready for a new LOG. Activate / deactivate the VERTIC-LOG function: With this button you reach the settings menu of the PEER functions (see 4.3.2) and the ON / Off switching of the VERTIC-LOG function. You can also access the VERTIC-LOG function by pressing the S/R key in the following sequence three times: PAIR DEV.
As soon as the stopwatch is started the VERTIC-LOG begins recording the climb log. One lap (LAP) is recorded per 100 m climbed. The first 100 m are LAP 1, the second LAP 2 etc. After a total of 1000 m of actual climbing (equals 10 LAPs), the time and the altitude gain for these 1000 m is additionally stored (LAP +1000). The same is done for the next 1000m etc. (LAP +2000, LAP +3000 etc.). LAP 1–10 – LAP +1000 LAP 11–20 – LAP +2000 LAP 21–30 – LAP +3000 etc.
Operation during the climb For each LAP during the climb, that means while the stopwatch is running, following data is available: Functions and operation • – climbing speed in m/h as the case may be min/100 m – in this LAP total meters climbed (UP). This means when you climb 50 m, then descend 20 and climb 40 again that you are 70 m above the starting point and UP 90m will be displayed.
When at least 10 LAPs have been completed, the “1000 Meter” summary will appear if you press the EL button again. Analogue to the individual LAPs here too the S/L and S/R buttons can be used to scroll through other such summaries. 30 Return to the running stopwatch.
End of climb – Store data in LOG Stops the stopwatch To store when the stopwatch is stopped: With this button the data can be stored in the LOG. The prompt “HOLD TO SAVE” will appear. When the button is released the watch will return to the current display. If you press the button for another 3 seconds the data will be stored in the DATA LOG. The information “LOG xx SAVED” (xx is the LOG number) will appear.
Attention: In order to be able to retrieve additional data stored in the VERTIC-LOG, you must store the LOG in the stopwatch function at the end of your climb. If you delete the stopwatch times before storing, the VERTIC-LOG data will also be deleted! Important: The VERTIC-LOG function was developed for mountain climbers making ascensions. When you have reached the highest point of your tour, stop the watch and store the LOG.
► STOPWATCH with RUN function (FOOT-PEER) If a FOOT-PEER is available (icon active on display) the current data such as RUN SPD Speed (km/h) RUN PACE Pace (min/km) RUN DIST Distance (km) are displayed. --► From the stopwatch display (recommended with running stopwatch!) you can call up the data above sequentially with each press of the key.
4.3.2 PEER Settings To log the existing PEERS in the system (PAIRING) and to carry out the calibrations/settings of the FOOT PEER and the HEART PEER, the stopwatch must be on 0:00:00. Entering the PEER calibration/setting mode: --► You thus enter the setting menu for the PEER functions. The menu ‘PAIR DEVICE’ is displayed first. --► You thus enter the next setting menu after the following procedure: PAIR DEV. -->S/R--> CALIB FOOTPEER -->S/R--> SET ZONE -->S/R--> VERTICLOG -->S/R--> PAIR DEV.
4.3.2.1 PAIRING (logging in of the PEERs) The 3 icons flash for as long as the corresponding peer is searched for. Duration of the process approx. 15 seconds. If a peer is detected, the corresponding symbol stops flashing. If a peer has been detected after approx. 15 seconds, this display appears briefly, then it reverts to the display at the start PAIR DEV.
