Other Altimeter Mode Features

This section explains other features and settings that are available in the Altimeter Mode. Note that all of the information in this section applies to all types of Altimeter Mode measurements, unless specifically indicated otherwise.

Specifying a Reference Altitude

After you specify a reference altitude, the watch adjusts its air-pressure-to- altitude conversion calculation accordingly. The altitude measurements produced by this watch are subject to error caused by changes in air pressure. Because of this, we recommend that you update the reference

3. Press D (+) or B (–) to change the current reference altitude value by 5 meters (or 20 feet).

You can set the reference altitude within the range of –10,000 to 10,000 meters (–32,800 to 32,800 feet).

Pressing B and D at the same time returns to OFF (no reference altitude), so the watch performs air pressure to altitude conversions based on preset data only.

4. Press A to exit the setting screen.

An altitude alarm on indicator appears on the Altimeter Mode’s Altitude Graph screen or Altitude Alarm Differential screen while the altitude alarm is turned on. This indicator does not appear on any other screen or in any other mode.

Stopwatch

The horizontal axis represents time, and the flashing dot in the rightmost column indicates the latest measurement result. For the first three minutes, each dot represents five seconds. After that, each dot represents two minutes.

An out of range measurement result or a measurement error will cause the column of dots for that measurement to be blank (skipped).

Altitude Differential Pointer

While a measurement operation is being performed in the Altimeter Mode, the altitude differential pointer indicates the difference between the current altitude and the last measured altitude.

Altitude differential is indicated in the range of ±25 meters, in 5-meter units.

Altitude is calculated and displayed using meters as the standard. Altitude also can be read in feet units as shown in the illustration.

Altitude Alarm

The altitude alarm sounds for about five seconds when the current altitude matches a preset value during an altitude measurement operation. You can press any button to stop the alarm after it starts to sound.

The altitude alarm sounds only while the Altimeter Mode’s Altitude Graph screen or Altitude Alarm Differential screen is on the display. It does not sound while the watch is in another mode or while another Altimeter Mode screen is on the display.

Example

If you set the altitude alarm at 130 meters, it sounds when you pass the 130- meter mark on your way up and on your way back down.
