6.3 Training timer
• This type of timer is designed for programing a training session made up of a succession of periods
of diff erent lengths and at diff erent intensities, the whole to be repeated a certain number of times.
• It is therefore necessary to program the session before you start the training session.
To simplify the procedure, take a look at the following example:
You want a training session with three 45-second bursts of fast running interspersed with 15-second
walking sections.

Use the same procedure as you would when setting the second 15-second timer.
The START/STOP button starts or stops the session. The timers succeed each other in numerical
order ( T1-T2-T3... ) until they reach a timer programed with a zero value and then start again with
T1 . The repeat counter is incremented. If the rst timer is not T1 , the repeat counter is incremented
just before restarting the rst timer.
for example: 3 timers, T1 , T2 , T3 have been programed. The rst one for the session is T3 . The timer
increments after T3 then T1 then T2 have been completed, just before restarting T3.
• Beep sounds
In order to diff erentiate between the timers and the progress of the session, the end beeps are
diff erent:
End of a timer: 3 successive beeps. End of a repeat: 2x3 successive beeps. End of the session: 4x3
successive beeps.
For the previous example:
Start!
Timer 1: 45s. 3 successive beeps
TIimer 1: 45s. 3 successive beeps
Timer 2: 15s. 2x3 successive
Timer 2: 15s. 2x3 successive
beeps Timer = 1/3
beeps Timer = 2/3
Timer 1: 45s. 3 successive beeps
Timer 2: 15s. 4x3 successive beeps
Timer = 3/3
End of the session.
