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, the basis on
which the time differences in the splits list are calculated and whether a persistent
alarm is used when the timer reaches zero in count down.

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.

2.12 Newton Power handling
If Timer Watch was running when the Newton is powered off then the time will be adjusted when the Newton is next powered on.  Timer Watch keeps continous track of time regardless of whether the power is on or off.

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.
