cases of immersion, nor is it designed to be used under water. Care and maintenance : To preserve the Dcathlon guarantee, any operation or repair must be exclusively entrusted to a Dcathlon electronics shop. If one is not available, no dysfunction can be claimed in the context of the Decathlon guarantee, with the exception of hidden defects. the seal for water-tightness. When changing the battery, replaceinfiltrates, and check device immediately. Water may check the If condensation appears or water attack the electronic elements inside the casing.

Repeated timer : repeated countdown. The countdown begins at the starting value, goes down to 0, beeps, and then begins again at the starting value while counting the number of countdowns with the repetition counter.

come to the one that indicates the interval of time for the first block (in our case T1). This step enables you to check that the device is correctly programmed. The START/STOP button starts or stops the session The countdowns are strung together in numerical order (T1-T2-T3) until a countdown programmed at a null value, then begins again with T1. The repetition counter counts up. If the first countdown is not T1, the repetition counter increases by 1 just before beginning again with the countdown from the beginning (ex: 3 countdowns, T1, T2, T3 have been programmed. The first of the session is T3. The counter is therefore increased after having completed T3, then T1, then T2, and just before beginning T3 again).
Buzzers : auditorily between the types of buzzing for countdowns and for the To differentiate
progression of the session, the final beeps have been differentiated: End of a countdown: 3 beeps in close succession. End of a repetition: 2*3 beeps in close succession End of the session: 4*3 beeps in close succession For the preceding example : Start ! Timer 1 : 45s. 3 beeps in close succession Timer 2 : 15s. 2*3 beeps in close succession Counter = 1/3 Timer 1 : 45s. 3 beeps in close succession Timer 2 : 15s. 2*3 beeps in close succession Counter = 2/3 Timer 1 : 45s. 3 beeps in close succession Timer 2 : 15s. 4*3 beeps in close succession Counter = 3/3 End of the session. A press on the START/STOP button will stop the counting. A press on SPLIT/RESET will reset the repetition counter to 0 and reinitialize the countdown at its starting value. 27

This type of countdown is designed for programming a training session composed of blocks of different intensity and lengths that are strung together, the sequence being
repeated a certain number of predetermined times. it is therefore necessary to program the session. Before starting the training session,example to follow : To simplify the procedure, here is an You must complete a training session alternating 3 blocks of 45 seconds of fast running and 15 seconds of walking.

ATTENTION : You can convert the speed measurement from km/h to m/h (miles per hour) by pressing SPLIT/RESET briefly when the stopwatch is stopped. Holding the button down for a longer time triggers the stopwatch to reset to 0 (the distance measured is then displayed on the bottom line). The distance can also be converted to miles or kilometers by briefly pressing SPLIT/RESET when the stopwatch is stopped.

ATTENTION : Be sure to take into account the INTERVALS of time between the impacts and not the impacts themselves. Ex : impact..impact..impact..impact = 3 strides and not 4 Note : 1. If you press the START and STOP buttons too quickly (in less than 1/8 of a second (0.125 sec)), the screen will display "ERROR". This indicates that the value has passed by too quickly to indicate it. 2. If you press the START and STOP buttons after too long a time, the screen will display "ERROR". This indicates that the period of time is too long and that the STROKE mode is useless for analysis.
