2. Setup
2.1 Battery Information
The ACCUSPLIT Pro Survivor A601X is powered by a CR2032 lithium battery, designed for an expected life of 5 years. No initial battery installation is typically required as the unit comes ready for use. If battery replacement becomes necessary after its lifespan, use a standard CR2032 3V lithium battery.
2.2 Setting Time and Date
- Press the MODE button repeatedly until the Time of Day display is shown.
- While in Time of Day mode, press and hold the SPLIT RESET button for a few seconds until the time digits begin to flash.
- Use the START STOP button to adjust the flashing digit (hours, minutes, month, date).
- Press the MODE button to move to the next digit or setting.
- Once all settings are correct, press the SPLIT RESET button to exit the setting mode.
3. Operating Instructions
The A601X stopwatch features three primary buttons: MODE, SPLIT RESET, and START STOP. These buttons control all functions of the device.
3.1 Basic Stopwatch Operation
- Ensure the stopwatch is in the timing mode. If not, press MODE until the stopwatch display (showing 00:00:00) appears.
- To start timing, press the START STOP button. The timer will begin counting.
- To stop timing, press the START STOP button again. The time will freeze on the display.
- To reset the stopwatch to zero, press the SPLIT RESET button while the stopwatch is stopped.
3.2 Cumulative Split Timing
The A601X stopwatch supports cumulative split timing only. This means it measures the total elapsed time from the start to each split point, without showing individual lap times.
- Start the stopwatch by pressing the START STOP button.
- At each split point, press the SPLIT RESET button. The display will momentarily show the cumulative split time, while the internal timer continues to run.
- After a few seconds, the display will revert to the running total time.
- To stop the final time, press the START STOP button.
- To reset the stopwatch, press the SPLIT RESET button while the stopwatch is stopped.
3.3 Switching Modes
Press the MODE button to cycle through the available functions: Stopwatch, and Time of Day (12/24 hour format with Month and Date).
4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning
To clean your stopwatch, wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the casing or display. Ensure the stopwatch is dry before storage.
4.2 Water Resistance
The ACCUSPLIT Pro Survivor A601X is water resistant up to 100 feet. While it can withstand splashes and brief immersion, it is not designed for prolonged underwater use or diving. Do not press buttons while the stopwatch is submerged.
4.3 Battery Replacement
The CR2032 lithium battery has an expected life of 5 years. When the display becomes dim or unresponsive, it may be time to replace the battery. Consult a qualified technician or refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for battery compartment access and replacement to avoid damaging the water-resistant seal.
5. Troubleshooting
- Display is blank or dim: The battery may be low or depleted. Replace the CR2032 battery.
- Buttons are unresponsive: Ensure the stopwatch is not in a locked mode (if applicable, though A601X doesn't specify a lock). If the issue persists, a battery replacement might resolve it. The stopwatch features "Million cycle No Fail Buttons" for reliability.
- Incorrect time or date: Re-enter the time and date settings as described in Section 2.2.
- Stopwatch not timing accurately: While the A601X is calibrated to be within 0.04 sec/hour for 12 months, extreme shocks or aging of the quartz crystal can affect accuracy. If significant inaccuracy is observed, contact customer support.
