You can use the Read Current Settings option in the Utilities section of the Monitor menu to quickly verify the settings in your StepWatch memory. Do not use this to verify the settings after you have programmed a monitor, as it will stop the monitor from recording. This function is intended to provide a means for conveniently checking the settings or notes in the memory of a monitor not in use. You can also use it to verify that a StepWatch is asleep.

Caution If you have programmed a StepWatch to start recording but it has not yet started recording it is especially important that you, DO NOT READ CURRENT SETTINGS.

Doing so can cause inconsistencies in parameters written to the StepWatch memory which will cause short-term errors in programming and downloading. The damage is not permanent, but you may have to wait for up to a day before the StepWatch is "happy" again.
