THE ULTIMATE COMPACT ENDURANCE WATCH
The Endurance Watch has four basic modes.
1. Time of day (hours, minutes and seconds) with date month and year
2. Stop watch with hours minutes and seconds plus time of day (hrs, mins, secs)
3. Alarm 1 (with time of day display showing) plus optional single hour stroke
4. Alarm 2 (with time of day display showing)
The display has two rows of digits, the lower row being much larger than the
upper row. In stop watch mode it is possible to have the display with large stop
watch and smaller time display or large time and smaller stop watch. It is
possible to alternate between these sizes even when the stop watch is running.
The stop watch has the letters SW before the digits and the time of day has an
icon of a clock before it so that it is clear which row is time and which is stop
watch. There is a minute alarm when the stop watch is running which sounds 3
beeps every full minute, but if not required this alarm can be easily silenced.

NOTES
1. Under extreme conditions LCD watches can be affected by heat & sunlight. Your Optimum Time
watch has a high temperature display for this reason.
When affected an LCD display turns black. When allowed to cool down it will return to normal. You
should not experience this with an Optimum Time product but please avoid leaving the watch in a hot
and bright environment such as on a car dashboard.
2. Electronic watches can suffer from static electricity. This may result in a watch locking up so that
nothing functions. Optimum Time watches have static protection, but the level of static varies from
person to person. If your watch locks up, it can be corrected by pressing all of the buttons at once,
holding them down a few seconds. Unfortunately the time will need resetting after this is done.
