stopwatch
i have a sportline stopwatch 240. it's a nice little stopwatch. i use it to time my bleacher runs in the mornings. it's also a clock. and an alarm clock. and it has an hourly chime. which is really fucking annoying. every hour in the middle of the night. weep. it's not exactly like the bread machine or the smoke alarm. but it's pretty close. the problem is the stopwatch has only three buttons. and a zillion modes. and of course the manual went in the garbage about 2 seconds after i liberated the stopwatch from its packaging. sometimes that damn alarm chime nonsense gets turned on just from the random presses it gets from being in my pocket. and no one knows how to turn the fucking thing off. heh. i figure if i blog about it here, i might save a marriage. maybe even my own. and i'll always be able to find out the magic sequences to fix it. it's really pretty simple. if not intuitively obvious. press the top button until you get to the normal clock. press and hold the left button. press the top button. repeat until the long line of bars at the top disappear. then release the left button. simple, no? anywho, the manual is
here. enjoy.
