PART II SPEED TIMER - OPERATION
To enter the Speed Timer Mode, press "C" until "SPEED" indicator appears as illustrated

Press "8" to alternate between miles and kilometers. when the proper unit ofmeasure is
flashihg, press "F" again. Hundreds ofmiles appear flashing. press ,,E,, to advance to the
desired digit.
Repeat pressing "F" to select and ',E,, to advance for tens, units, tenths, hundredths and
thousandths. Exit the setting sequence at uy time by pressing ,'C,,.
EXAMPLE:
The distance you are measudng must be entered into the SC-544 in the form of a decimal.
For,;xample, 5/8 of a mile must be entered as 0.625 (5 divicled by g); 1 3/4 mile must be
ente:'ed as 1.750 (3 divided by 4): etc. Some conmon distances in decimal form tre:
u10=0.100 1/8=0.125 1t6=0.166 t/4=0.250 1/3=0.333
3/8=0.375 l/2=0.500 518=0.625 Zt3=0.66i 3/4=0.750
PLEASE NOTE:

(2) You nay enter any distance from.00l to 999.999 MI or KM.
(3) If hundreds and tens digits ile not entered, they will disapper after you have entered
the distance.
OPDRATING THE SPEED TIMER:
(1) START, STOP AND RESET OPERATION TO TIME SINGLE LAP EVENTS.
Press "A" to stat, "RUN" indicator appears. Time appears running in the bottom row md
the distance disappears. Press "A" again to stop. ,,STOp', indicator appeils. The time
frcezes and the speed appears in the box in the upper row.
Press "B" to rcset to all zeros.
(2) MULTIPLE-LAP EVENTS.
Press "A to start, ,,RUN,, indicator appears. press ,,8,, to take lap readings. Lap time will
appear in the bottom row, lap speed in the box, and the lap number in the lap counter.
Press "C" to ferease to accumulated running time, or the sc-544 will do so automatically
after 20 seconds.
This illustration shows a distance of 2.500 miles is entered and one lap has been
completed in 43.70 seconds for a lap speed of 205.950 MpH.

AVERAGE, MAXIMT]M AND MEMORY FUNCTIONS.
The AVERAGE SPEED and TIME of multiple laps can be rlisplayed at any time by
pressing "D". "AVG,, indicator will appear. To return to the previous functions, press

PART III . SPLIT TIME CHRONOGRAPH OPERATION.
Definitions; In the SPLIT mode the SC-544 measures time accumulating from the start
ofthe event. In the LAP mode, it measures the amount oftime from the last reading, For
example, taking a split reading at the completion ofeach one minute interval would result
in SPLIT times of I minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes, etc. The LAP times for the same event
would be I minute each (the time from the last reading,).
To enter the SPLIT chronograph mode, press "C" until the "CHRONO SpL" indicator
appears(as illustrated below):
Should numbers other than all zeros appeu:
(l) If the "STOP " indicator appears, press "B" to reset to all zeros.
(2) If the "RUN" indicator appea6, press "A", then press "B".
TIMING SINGLE EYENTS
Press "A" to start. Press "A" again to stop. Press "B" to reset.
TIMING MULTIPLE SPLITS
Press "A" to start. "RUN" indicator appems.
Press "8 " to take split time(s). The split time will appear in the top row, running time
will appear in the bottom row. The LAP counter will increase by l, each time "B" is
pressed to take a split time,
Press "A" to stop. "STOP" indicator appeils. Then press "B" to reset or:
7 SPLIT MEMORY RECALL
You have access to the previous seven (7) split times while the chrolo is running or
stoppedbypressing"E". Thereadingswillappetrindescendingorder(7,6,5,4,3,2,
erc.)
You may return to the last previous reading taken at any time by pressing ',C,,. pressing
"B" while in memory during active timing ("RUN" indicator appears), will register
another split time reading.
To reset to all zeros during memory recall while timing is stopped ("STOP,, indicator
appears), press "C" then press "B".
PART IV, LAP TIME CHRONOGRAPH OPERATION
Should numbers other than all zeros appeu:
(1) If the "STOP " indicator appeils, press "8" to rcset to all zeros.
(2) If the "RUN" indicator appetrs, press "A", then press "B".
TIMING SINGLE EYENTS
Press "A" to start. Press "A again to stop. Press "8" to reset.
TIMING MULTIPLE LAPS
Press "A" to stafi. "RUN" indicator appetrs. Press "8" to take a lap time. The lap time
will appear in the top row of the display and the running accumulated time will continue
in the bottom row. The LAP COUNTER will increase by I each time "B" is pressed to
take a lap tine.
Press "A" to stop, "STOP" indicator appears. Then press "8" to reset to all zeros or:
7 LAP MEMORY RECALL
You may recall the previous seven (7) lap times while the chrono is running or stopped
by pressing "8" They will appeu in descending order (i.e. 7,6,5,4, etc).
AVERAGE I.AP TIME
