Starting countdown
Press
START/STOP
to start the countdown. The unit announces the time remaining to
00:00:00 according to the following schedule: for example “five minutes left”:
Time remaining - more than 60 minutes- voice announcement: every hour.
Time remaining - less than 60 minutes - voice announcement: every ten minutes.
Time remaining – less than 10 minutes - voice announcement: every minute.
Time remaining – less than 1 minute - voice announcement: every ten seconds.
Time remaining – less than ten seconds - voice announcement: every second.
When countdown reaches 00:00:00, the alarm will sound for one minute and the unit
will then count up and announces how much time it is over 00:00:00 according to the
schedule above. For example the unit announces “2 minutes over” when it exceeds
00:00:00 by two minutes.

This function allows you to re-start the countdown automatically after reaching

00:00:00.
Countdown less than 10 seconds: alarm beeps once at 00:00:00.
