Congratulations on your SportCount purchase. This manual contains instructions for all four models. The packaging and the accent color on
each SportCount product will help you determine which model you have. Depending on which model you have, you will be able to count laps,
keep track of elapsed time, and review summary statistics at the end of your workout. SportCount products can be used for swimming, walking,
running, cycling, in-line and speed skating, or any activity where you need to keep an accurate count or keep track of time.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Each SportCount product is easy to use. Its operated with one hand and doesnt interfere with the natural flow of exercise. You should take
the time to try it before you jump into your exercise routine. Practice putting your SportCount through its functions a few times. In most cases,
you will want to wear the unit on your index finger (either the right or left hand may be used). Make sure it is oriented with the button on the side
of your finger so you can comfortably reach the button with your thumb. This makes it easier to use and see during an activity than other timers
and counters.

Instructions for the Stopwatch Model (Yellow)

PRACTICE SESSION
This section of the instructions takes you through a practice session. The figures illustrate what you
should see on the display as you work through the paces.
POWER-UP
Press the button with your thumb to start the unit. On power-up, the display will show all 8s for three
seconds and then show all 0s, which shows that your Stopwatch is powered up and ready to use
(Fig.1).
Fig. 1
START
Press the button to begin timing. This will initiate the timer and running time will appear on the display.
The numbers in the display refer to minutes, seconds, tenths and hundredths of seconds. For example,
1922.35 in Fig. 2 indicates that nineteen minutes, twenty-two point three five seconds has elapsed
since you pressed the button to begin your activity. When the timer reaches 1 hour, the display then
changes to hours, minutes, and seconds. The hour bar will display at the top right corner. For
example, in Fig. 3, when the time reaches one hour, forty two minutes, and seventeen seconds, the
display will read 1:4217 The Stopwatchs maximum time is 99:5959, after which the display will start
over at 0000.00. Fig. 2

seconds and then show four 0s, which shows that your LapCounter is powered up and ready to use
(Fig. 1).

and so on. The LapCounter can count up to 9,999. After that, the display will start over again at 0.

Upon completion of the final lap, the display will show the total number of laps. For example, you will
see 22 if you completed 22 laps (Fig. 2)

sleepmode will wake up the display at the point that it shut off. For example, if the LapCounter went into the sleepmode at 22 laps, it will
show 22 when it wakes up, and you can start counting from 22. If you dont want to start at 22, reset the LapCounter to start at zero.

TIMING OVER 1 HOUR
When elapsed time exceeds 1 hour, the display shifts two digits, i.e., instead of displaying minutes,
seconds, tenths and hundredths of seconds, it will now display hours, minutes, and seconds. In that
case, a black bar will appear over the two digits on the right to indicate that they now refer to seconds
(Fig. 5). SportCount will time up to 9959.59 , after which display will show 0000.00 and start over. In
Running Mode, if no button has been pushed for 24 hours, the Combo will go into sleep mode (the
display goes blank to save battery life). All data will begin to blink when the hours exceed 100.
Fig. 5

SUMMARY MODE
Press the button at the end of your final lap ( a regular quick press) and then, to finish the timed activity and go into the SUMMARY mode,
press and hold the button for three seconds. You can do this immediately or even hours later. Your SportCount Combo knows that the time
between the end of the final lap and the time you held the button down to go into summary mode was not a true lap, and it will automatically
eliminate the false lap so that your workout statistics will be accurate. For example, if you completed 30 laps, and some time later held the
button down to go into the summary mode, the SportCount will display the false lap number 31, as shown in (Fig. 6). It will then discard the
false lap data, and display the corrected total lap count, T 30. In 1.5 seconds, it will automatically display the TOTAL TIME, and flip back and
forth between TOTAL LAP count and TOTAL TIME every 1.5 seconds. Push the button again to show the AVERAGE LAP, 1,10.02 in the
Fig.7 example. FASTEST LAP number and FASTEST LAP time come next (Fig. 8), followed by. SLOWEST LAP number and SLOWEST LAP
time (Fig.9). Pressing the button after this will start the summary over again with TOTAL LAP count and TOTAL TIME.

But be careful, because when you reset your SportCount Combo, all lap times will be erased. When left in the reset mode for 30 minutes, the
display will shut down automatically to conserve battery life. Press the button to re-activate.

CARE FOR YOUR SPORTCOUNT

WATER-RESISTANCE
All SportCount models are designed and manufactured to withstand the water pressure involved with normal swimming, but not diving. After swimming,
please be sure to wash the SportCount with fresh water and clean it with a dry cloth before storage.
TEMPERATURE
Do not leave your SportCount under direct sunlight or in very high temperatures for a long time, or the display may become black. Do not leave your
SportCount in very low temperature as this may cause a slight time loss or gain and the change of digits becomes slow. In both cases, the above conditions
will be corrected when the SportCount returns to normal temperature.
SHOCKS
Be careful not to drop your SportCount or hit it against hard surfaces as it may cause mechanical damage.
STATIC ELECTRICITY
The integrated circuit in your SportCount can be affected by static electricity. Be careful of the screen of a TV set and the wearing of clothing made of
synthetic materials in dry weather; in such cases a very strong static electricity can be generated.
