ABOUT THE BAR GRAPH
At the bottom of the LCD is a bar graph. This graph visually
shows the amount of time remaining between the target date and
the start date. When a target date is first set the graph will show
that 100% [FIG A] of time still remains. When half of the time has
passed, the graph will show 50% [FIG B]. As the target date
approaches, the remaining bar graph gets smaller.
Note: If the Start Date is disabled, the bar graph will also be
disabled. To enable the bar graph, both the target date and
the start date must be set.
