The Contact Code Mode lets you store up to
100* sets of contact data (such as telephone
numbers). Stored data is sorted automatically
into alphabetic sequence based on the text
area text.
* The Contact Code Mode shares memory with
the Mission Code Mode. This means that the
maximum number of Contact Code Mode
entries you can store is reduced by one each
time you store a Mission Code Mode data
item.
• Whenever you enter the Contact Code Mode,
the text CONTACT CODEscrolls across
the text area of the display once. Next, contact
code data appears on the display. You can

Notes
To edit text
• This watch displays up to five code elements (dots, dashes) per character.
This means the six-element Morse codes (representing punctuation marks)
are not included.
• You can set up the watch to emit beeps or to silently blink its backlight in
accordance with the dots and dashes of Morse code data as it scrolls
across the text area of the display.
Note that you can edit text you input in the Morse Code Mode only. You
cannot edit Morse code data. After editing the text data you can convert the
new data to Morse code.
1. In the Morse Code Mode, press C to display the existing text data in the
text area of the display.
2. Hold down A until the flashing cursor appears in the text area.
3. Use M to move the cursor to the character you want to change.
4. Change the character.
• See “INPUTTING TEXT” for details on text input.
5. After making the changes that you want, press A to store them and return
to the Morse Code Mode.
Morse Code Data Example:
In the following example, imagine you want to sound a Morse code message
that tells your friend to meet you at the park at 3 o’clock. One way you could
do this would be to sound a message like the following.

of Morse code data, hold down A until the data starts to flash.
2. Press B and C at the same time to delete the data in the text area.
• When deleting Morse code data, pressing any button except A deletes the
code data.
• At this time, either _ (if you deleted text data) or (if you deleted Morse
code data) appears in the text area of the display, ready for new input.
3. Input new data or press A to return to the Morse Code Mode.

currently wearing the watch.
• Note that storing important personal identification data in the watch’s
memory runs the risk of it being misused should you lend the watch to
someone or should the watch become lost or stolen. Because of this, the
manufacturer strongly recommends that you input such important information
