F6 (hex) write
0: stop timer [default]
01~FF (hex): The amount of the count, in seconds or
minutes, depends on the value set in register F5 (hex).
This number decides how long the watchdog timer waits
for strobe before generating an interrupt or reset signal.
Writing a new value to this register can reset the timer to
count with the new value.

“timeout”.
