The choice of five main functions is made one after another by consecutive pressing of the button 1 (see rice. Multipurpose hours). A full cycle to press the button of 6 times. At first the board induces hours and minutes, then, on the following impulse, minutes and seconds. The button 1 is used also for installation, shutdown and switching off of sounding of a signal of an alarm clock.

The button 2 is used for management of a chronometer and consistently gives the command for a stop of indications of a board for fixation of interval time (the accounting of real time proceeds), or again to switch to real time.

In function of the clock or a calendar the button 2 quickly leafs through indications for installation of hour or day.

As past tense she can subtract stop time from the general time.

The button 3 also as well as the button 2 serves for browsing of indications with its help but at a small speed.

As a chronometer this button stops or establishes a chronometer on zero.

As the timer the button 3 consistently establishes on zero board and then starts time counter.

Pressing the button 2, it is possible to exclude time of stops (during an engine stop, the contact is absent). It gives the chance rather just to calculate average speed at the distant trips interrupted by many and long stops.
