the display and the watch will again update the statistical data with altitude information as necessary.

Calibrating the Altimeter and Clearing HIGH and ACC

Calibration in ALTI mode allows you to calibrate the pressure sensor for improved accuracy as well as clear the HIGH and ACC data values.

Calibration operates exactly like setting, so refer to the section entitled “Setting Operation” on page 11 to under- stand how the buttons function during setting. Also refer to the section entitled “Notes on calibrating the Altimeter and Barometer” on page 15 for general information regard- ing calibration.

For proper calibration, adjust the “CAL” value to reflect your actual altitude. The “CAL “ value can be set to a value from -2296 ft (-700m) to +26520 ft (+9000m).

1.Press and hold SET until the word “CAL” appears in the upper line of the display and the sign of the calibration value is flashing.

2.Press START/SPLIT to adjust the sign (positive for altitudes above sea level, negative for altitudes below).

3.Press MODE to move on to adjusting the current altitude value.

4.Using START/SPLIT (to increase) and STOP/RESET (to decrease), adjust flashing value.

5.Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each value of the calibration altitude.

6.Press MODE to move on to enable clearing of the HIGH data value. “HIGH” will be flashing in the upper line; the current value for the highest altitude will be displayed.

7.Press and hold START/SPLIT to clear the value, if desired.
