Button Functions
CLOCK (6) —Displays time. Multiple presses
toggle between standard time (AM/PM), military
24-hour time and universal time (UTC or “Zulu”).
FUEL/CHRONO (8)—Jumps to fuel timer from
any other mode. Subsequent presses toggle between
fuel and chrono (stopwatch) modes.
APPROACH (9) —Jumps to approach timer from
any other mode.
NOTE (13) —Press to set note data.
START/STOP (7) —Starts a stopped timer, stops a
started timer. Also stops the audible and visible
alarm for the currently displayed timer.
DIAL (11) push — Pushing the dial knob allows
the current timer, clock or note data to be set.
Flashing digits indicate the current digits being
modified. Subsequent presses step through the data
being set (i.e., from hours to minutes to seconds).
DIAL rotate—Clockwise rotation increments and
counterclockwise rotation decrements the flashing
digits on the screen.

RESET (10)—Resets the current timer or note to
zero. When setting clock, resets time to 12:00 PM.
LIGHT (12)—Toggles backlight on and off.
Backlight will stay on for 5 minutes then shut off.

stepping all the way through using the DIAL push
button.
