BATTERY INSTALLATION
In the stopwatch, two types of batteries are used -- 4 pieces of 1.5V AA size
alkaline battery and 1 piece of CR2032 Lithium battery. The AA size alkaline
batteries supply the power for both printer and CPU. The 3V CR2032 battery is for
back up purpose. Printing is not available when only the CR2032 battery is installed.
To replace batteries remove the battery lid as shown in Fig.1. Replace the AA size
alkaline batteries according to the polarities shown on the case. To replace the
CR2032, unscrew the positive metal contact and replace the battery into the
position shown in Fig. 1 with positive side face up. Re-screw the metal contact.
**: Always replace at the same time with all 4 pieces of new AA size high
capacity alkaline batteries.
You do not need to reset the stopwatch if the clock keeps running after changing
of batteries.
If all batteries are dead and the clock is out of order, you need to press the reset
key (Fig. 1) to reset the stopwatch after battery replacement. The stopwatch will
then switch to clock mode automatically. Slide back the battery lid to complete the
battery replacement procedure.
**: Remove all the AA size alkaline batteries if the stopwatch will not be
used for a long time to avoid battery leakage that may damage the stopwatch.

LAP and SPLIT times to allow the user to keep track of progress,
as shown in Fig. 4.

Press B to reset and be ready for the next race, as shown in Fig. 7. The counter
at the top left corner displays the memory left for further races. Further races can
be recorded by pressing A and B buttons as above.
** Pressing B button when the stopwatch is displaying the RACE RECORDS will
show the next RACE RECORD (if there is) and the LAP TIMES in this
RACE RECORD can be recalled by pressing D.
** Pressing and hold A button when the stopwatch is displaying the RACE
RECORDS will clear the memories in that race record ( when the contents in
this race record are cleared the display will show CLEARED and sounds a
long beep, if A is released before ED appears the memories will not be
cleared ) and continuously holding A button after this will clear the memories
of all races (display will show ALL CLEARED and display will return to as
shown in Fig. 2. Memories are available for storage when they are cleared.
Press D again to recall the 1st LAP data, as shown in Fig.9.
** Since 5 memories are used for memorizing the date and number of the race,
the memory left will be 1993 as shown below.
Press D to recall data stored. The display which we call the RACE RECORD is as
shown in Fig. 8. The display shows the date in which the race was recorded and
MCH-001(MSP for SPEED mode) stands for the first race recorded in LAP/SPLIT
mode at that date.

** The AVERAGE calculation and BEST record do not take into account the last
section of time before STOP. Therefore, in order for the stopwatch to keep
track of the average and best records of all Laps, always use the B button until
the end of the race.
Pressing D again will go to the next race records or return to the 1st race
records (if there is no further race).
In the CHRONO MODE before the start of a race, such as in Fig.7, push and hold
B for 2 seconds will go to the SPEED SET mode as is shown in Fig.14. The first
digit in the lowest row is flashing to indicate setting of the thousandth digit of
distance. Push A to set and B to select the next digits. The highest setting for
distance is 9999.999.
After the digits are set press B again to set the TIME unit with the top left corner
HR flashing. Use A to set to HR (for /hour), MIN (for /minute) or SEC (for
/second). When the distance and time unit are set, press C button to return to the
SPEED MODE (Fig. 15). (Pushing C button anytime during the setting will return
to the SPEED mode).
Fig. 14 Fig. 15
Press A to start, the display is as shown in Fig.16.
Press B to get the 1st LAP time at the top row and the speed at the middle row,
as shown in Fig.17. If for example the distance is set to 200 meters and time unit
set is in seconds, the speed calculated from a LAP time of 17.09 seconds is 11.70
m/sec. Using the B button the LAP times and their corresponding speeds can be
displayed. Recall operations in the SPEED mode are the same as that in the
LAP/SPLIT mode.

** If the chronograph is not reset (i.e. still running or stopped), it will not be
possible to print and the display will show PRINT 0, there will not be any action
upon pressing A or B.
** Do not leave the printer on if not in use as that drains a higher power from
the battery.
** If the above process is wrongly done with the display switched to
UPLOAD ALL, the display will be freezed until the printer is switched off.
UPLOAD MODE
The PRINTER must be switched OFF in UPLOAD MODE.
In Fig. 20 press D button once will switch to UPLOAD ALL mode as shown in
Fig.22. Pressing A button will UPLOAD ALL recorded memories to computer (if
computer is connected). When the stopwatch is in the process of uploading, an
indicator moves from right to left. When upload is complete UPLOAD END is
displayed. Press D button to return to PRINT MODE.

** BASE 3 STROKE/FREQ -- if the distance is set to 180 and time unit to
seconds, the speed reading for 3 strokes gives the number of strokes / minute.
** MEMORY USED UP-- When all the memories have been used the 4 digit LAP
counter at the top left corner will start blinking to indicate all memories have been
used up. All further LAP memories will not be recorded in the memory unless
some memories are cleared as previously indicated. When there is no memory
left pressing A to start a race will sound 3 short beeps.
** Do not leave the stopwatch running if not in use as that drains a higher
power from the battery.
TIMER OPERATION
Press C button until the stopwatch goes to the TIMER mode. The display is as
shown in Fig.18. The top row is the display for the 1st timer and the middle row is
the display for the 2nd timer.
Fig. 19
Press and hold B button for 2 seconds will go into the SET TIMER mode with
the hour digit of the 1st timer blinking. Press A button to set to desired hour for
countdown. Press B to go to the first digit in minutes and press A to set minutes.
Similarly by using B and A buttons the desired countdown times for the 1st and
2nd timers can be set.
**Pressing C button once any time during this TIMER setting sequence will
complete the setting and the timer is ready to start upon pressing the A button.
Press A to start countdown with the “1 ” at the top right corner blinking and the
timer setting counting down. When the 1st timer approaches zero, the timer
gives 4 beeps and the 2nd timer starts counting down immediately. When the
2nd timer approaches zero, it gives 2 beeps and the 4 digit counter at the lowest
row advances by 1 automatically. At any time during countdown pressing A will
stop counting.
** If only the 1st timer is set the timer is used as an ordinary countdown timer
and will give 5 times 4 beeps when the set time is up. The 4 digit counter also
advances by 1 automatically when the timer reaches zero.

PRINT MODE
Press C button to go to the PRINT ALL mode as
shown in Fig.20. Pressing A button will print all
recorded memories (when the printer is on).
When the stopwatch is in the process of printing,
an indicator moves from right to left. When
printing is complete PRINT END is displayed.
Pressing B at the PRINT ALL mode will go to
the PRINT RACE mode with display as shown
in Fig.21.
Pressing A in this mode will only print the
memories in this race. Press B to select particular
race to print. Pressing C any time during this
printing process will stop printing immediately.
** Slide the PRINT MODE SWITCH to the TOP position. Only the SPLIT or
SPEED (depending on whether the stopwatch is in CHRONO or SPEED mode)
will be printed. If this switch is slide to the DOWN position, both LAP and SPLIT
or LAP and SPEED will be printed. (In SPEED mode, if B is pressed while the
previous record is still being printed, that SPEED record cannot be printed in real
time. The memories still record the full data for recall or upload).
