1.Set the map so its northerly indication is aligned with north as indicated by the watch, and determine your current location.
•See “To set a map and find your current location” on page
2.Set the map so the direction you want to travel on the map is pointed straight in front of you.
3.With the watch on your wrist, position it so the face is horizontal.

1.Set the map so its northerly indication is aligned with north as indicated by the watch, and determine your current location.
•See “To set a map and find your current location” on page
2.As shown in the illustration to the left, change your position so you (and the 12 o’clock position of the watch) are pointed in the direction of objective, while keeping the northerly direction indicated on the map aligned with north as indicated by the watch.
•If you find it difficult to perform the above step while keeping everything aligned, first move into the correct position (12 o’clock position of the watch pointed at the objective) without worrying about the orientation of the map. Next, perform step 1 again to set the map.

Note
•When mountain climbing or hiking, conditions or geographic contours may make it impossible for you to advance in a straight line. If this happens, return to step 1 and save a new direction to the objective.
Digital Compass Precautions
This watch features a
•Whenever you suspect that the watch may have become magnetized, perform the procedure under “To perform bidirectional calibration” (page
Location
•Taking a direction reading when you are near a source of strong magnetism can cause large errors in readings. Because of this, you should avoid taking direction readings while in the vicinity of the following types of objects: permanent magnets (magnetic necklaces, etc.), concentrations of metal (metal doors, lockers, etc.), high tension wires, aerial wires, household appliances (TVs, personal computers, washing machines, freezers, etc.).
•Accurate direction readings are impossible while in a train, boat, air plane, etc.
•Accurate readings are also impossible indoors, especially inside ferroconcrete structures. This is because the metal framework of such structures picks up magnetism from appliances, etc.
Storage
•The precision of the bearing sensor may deteriorate if the watch becomes magnetized. Because of this, you should store the watch away from magnets or any other sources of strong magnetism, including: permanent magnets (magnetic necklaces, etc.) and household appliances (TVs, personal computers, washing machines, freezers, etc.).
Thermometer
This watch uses a temperature sensor to take temperature readings.
•The watch also takes direction readings in the Digital Compass/Thermometer Mode. For more information, see “Digital Compass” (page

To enter and exit the Digital Compass/Thermometer Mode
1.Press Cto enter the Digital Compass/Thermometer Mode.
•Press Cto take another reading.
2.Press Dto return to the mode you entered the Digital Compass/Thermometer Mode from.
•The watch will automatically return to the mode you entered the Digital Compass/Thermometer Mode from if you do not perform any operation for about one or two minutes.
Temperature
•Temperature is displayed in units of 0.1°C (or 0.2°F).
•The displayed temperature value changes to - - - °C (or °F) if a measured temperature falls outside the range of
Display Units
You can select either Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F) for the displayed temperature value. See “To specify temperature unit” (page
Temperature Sensor Calibration
The watch’s temperature sensor is calibrated at the factory and normally requires no further adjustment. If you notice serious errors in the temperature readings produced by the watch, you can calibrate the sensor to correct the errors.
Important!
•Incorrectly calibrating the temperature sensor can result in incorrect readings. Carefully read the following before doing anything.
–Compare the readings produced by the watch with those of another reliable and accurate thermometer.
–If adjustment is required, remove the watch from your wrist and wait for 20 or 30 minutes to give the temperature of the watch time to stabilize.
