Stopwatch Operation

To help captains/convenors keep games running on time, Perpetual Motion provides Timex stopwatches. The instructions below will help users operate the watches so that they can be used effectively.

• Setting the Timer

  • To set the timer for 20 minutes, start from the regular time display (as shown in the picture above) and press the MODE (1) button twice. The area where the date was shown should now say "TIMER".

  • Next, press the SET (5) button and the word "TIMER" should be replaced by "0:00.00." The left-most 0 (hours), should be flashing.

  • Press the START | STOP (2) button once and the second digit (10 minutes) should now be flashing. Use the SPLIT | RESET (3) button to make it display a 2 (20 minutes). If you go past the 2, continue pressing SPLIT | RESET (3) and it will come back around.

  • If any of the other digits aren't 0, follow the same process as above to make them flash and then continue pressing the SPLIT | RESET (3) button until they are set properly.

  • Once the timer is set for 20 minutes in the top half of the screen, press the SET (5) button again to confirm it. At this point the timer is ready and will display "0:20.00" on the main screen.

• Starting / using the timer

  • Once the time is set, press START | STOP (2) to begin the countdown. Once it hits 0:00.00, the watch will beep and signal the end of the half. If you need to pause the game for any reason, press the START | STOP (2) button to pause and un-pause when ready.

  • Once the time is done and the watch beeps, press START | STOP (2) to stop the beeping. Press SPLIT | RESET (3) to reset the timer and it should be good to go for your next game!
