The MATCH program allows you to create a session with several adjustable time blocks that can be repeated. This program is ideal for refereeing a match with several times of play (e.g. half-time).
It allows you to create up to 9 blocks (BLOCK) and 99 repetitions of the blocks (REPEAT).

Example : for a soccer game, create 3 blocks.
- A BLOCK 1 of 45 minutes for the first half
- A BLOCK 2 of 15 minutes for the break
- A BLOCK 3 of 45 minutes for the second half

The COACH program allows you to create a session with several different activity phases. This program is ideal for setting up a workout, especially a split workout.
It allows up to 99 ACTION+REST sets and 99 repetitions for each set.

Example: for a running session with 2 sets of 30/30 of 8 reps.
- A 20-minute warm-up block (WARMUP)
- A 30-second action block (ACTION) and then a 30-second recovery block (REST)
- To be repeated 8 times (REPEAT)
- For 2 series (SERIES) with a 5 minute break between the two series (BREAK)
- Finally, a cool down block (COOL)

The UP-DOWN program allows you to set a countdown associated with a stopwatch. At the end of the countdown, the stopwatch starts automatically. This program is ideal for the start of a race with a countdown.

Example: a boat regatta.

For the MATCH and COACH programs, 8 different sessions can be stored in memory.

To set them, go to the TIMER mode, press the settings button (English key), then select MATCH or COACH.

If no session is stored, you will be prompted to create one. (By default, the first session will be called MATCH 1 or COACH 1).

If you have already saved a session that you want to modify, select the session and then press the settings button (English key).
You will then be offered to modify the session (EDIT), rename it (RENAME), delete it (DELETE), or create a new session (CREATE).

Go to the time/date mode (TIME) and press the setting button.

Go to the alarm mode (ALARM) and press the setting button (English key).

The PACER mode is a metronome. It allows you to set a rhythm by defining a number of beeps per minute.

To set it, go to the PACER mode and press the parameter button (English key).
The possible setting frequencies are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, 150, 180, 200 or 240 beeps per minute (BPM).

The stopwatch is resistant to humid atmospheres, water splashes and rain (IPX4), but it cannot be immersed in water. 

The stopwatch will automatically turn off after two hours of inactivity (no time started and no button pressed).
However, you can turn it off manually to preserve the battery life. To do this, press and hold the colored button for two seconds.

8 MATCH and COACH sessions can be stored in the stopwatch library.
MEMORY FULL appears if the stopwatch memory is full.
In order to record a new session, you will need to delete a session already recorded. To do this, select the session you wish to delete, then press the settings button (English key) and select DELETE.
