1.	Installing Timer Watch



Please refer to the user manual which came with your Newton device for instructions 

on how to install the Timer Watch package.  Installation is usually performed using

either the Newton Package Installer or the Newton Connection Utilities.



The package will normally be installed in the Extras drawer and occupies about 70K of

storage.







2.	Using Timer Watch



2.1.	Start Button

Starts the timer running.



2.2.	Stop Button

Stops the timer.



2.2.	Pause Button

Freezes the time display but the timer keeps running.



2.3.	Resume Button

Un-freezes the time display.



2.4.	Reset Button

Resets the time display to zero and starts a new splits run.



2.5.	Split Button

Adds an entry to the splits lists.  If the entry is the first entry in the current splits run

then the entry added will show the start time of the timer and the time when the split

button was tapped.  Subsequent entries show the split time and the difference between

the split time and the first or previous split (see Prefs below).



2.6.	Action Button

The action button appears only when there are split times in the splits list.

From this button the splits list can be printed, faxed, copied to the Notes application or deleted.



2.7.	Info Button

From the info button you can display the About slip, the Newton system help book and

the Prefs for Timer Watch.



2.8.	About Slip

The about slip gives information on the application and allows you to register one or

more registration codes.



2.9.	Prefs Slip

The Prefs slip allows you to change the form of the displayed time and the basis on

which the time differences in the splits list are calculated.



2.10	Register Slip

From this slip you can enter or check the registration codes for the owner names on

your Newton.  If you have Flash Sheriden's Register Program installed then a button

will be shown which will take you directly to that program.



2.11 Setting the Timer Direction and Start Times

When the timer is not running tapping on the display time will show the Timer Settings

slip.  From here you can set the timer direction, set the start time for the timer and

permanently add start times for easy retrieval.  The reset button will always return the 

start time to zero.







3.	Limitations of Timer Watch



Timer Watch uses the clock inside your Newton.  It can be no more accurate than

the Newton's internal clock and so be aware that there are no guarantees about

the correctness of the time recorded by Timer Watch.



In particular use of Timer Watch in critical situations is not recommended. In all

circumstances you use Timer Watch at your own risk.



Timer Watch will not run beyond 99 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds and 59 hundreths

of a second.  This is the largest value that Timer Watch will display.







4.	Cost and registration



The cost of a single-user licence for Timer Watch is $10.  At this time purchase

is via Kagi either directly using their website (http://www.kagi.com) or indirectly

using one of the Register programs that is bundled with the product. If you would

prefer to purchase in another manner please contact us and we will do our best to

find another mutually acceptable payment method.  Having said that, Kagi offers a

range of payment methods which appears acceptable to most people.



On receiving payment a registration code will be sent to you which is based on

the owner name used on your Newton.  (Owner names are held in the Owner Info

slip - which is usually found in the Extras drawer). Once a valid registration

code is entered the watch will keep ticking beyond ten minutes.



If you have other owner names you use on your Newton we will generate passwords

for those too - provided the names do not differ too greatly (e.g. if your Newton

has owner names of John Smith and J Smith then we will generate two passwords but

not if your Newton has owner names of Jill Sheppard and Brian Williams).



4.1	Other licences



Site and worldwide licences are available - please contact us for more information.
