While the stopwatch is running, press "Space", to pause, and the Braille
EDGE 40 displays the elapsed time in Braille. Pressing "Space" again
restarts the stopwatch running.
If you press "Backspace" while the stopwatch is paused or running, the
Braille EDGE 40 clears to "00:00:00".
5.5 Countdown Timer
To open
the “Countdown Timer”, move to “Applications” using “Space-4” or
“Space-1” from the main menu, and press “Enter”. Move to the “Countdown
Timer
” by using “Space-4” or “Space-1”. When you press “Enter” on the
“Countdown Timer”, "00:00:00" is displayed and you are placed on the hour.
You are asked to type hours, minutes, and seconds. You can type the time
directly or change the time values using
the “Up navigation button” or
“Down navigation button”.
When typing the hours, minutes, and seconds, type a two-digit number for
the hour, 2 digits for the minute, and 2 digits for the second using Computer
Braille. You do not need to use a number sign. If you press "Enter" without
typing a specified value, the "Countdown timer" starts counting down from
the default time of one minute. When started, the "Countdown timer"
displays "countdown xx minute", and continues displaying the remaining
time as it counts down.
Press "Enter" on the "Countdown timer", and the Braille EDGE displays the
remaining time, and stops the countdown.
Press “Enter” once more to
restart the countdown. Pressing "Backspace" clears the "Countdown timer".
If the timer reaches zero, a 10-second alarm sounds, and the "Countdown
timer" clears. If you press one of the keys or buttons while the alarm is
sounding, the alarm stops and your timer clears, and is ready to accept a
new time.
