To specify a reference altitude

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. In the Altimeter Mode, hold down A for about

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

two seconds until either OFF or the current

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

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

3. Press A to exit the setting screen.

Altitude graph

 

The altitude graph shows Altimeter Mode

Altitude

measurement results.

The vertical axis of the graph represents

 

 

altitude, and each dot stands for 10 meters (40

Timefeet).

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).

Recalling Altitude Data

Use the Data Recall Mode to view altitude records currently in memory, as well as the current Altimeter Mode stopwatch session record, and the historical record. Altitude records are created and stored by the watch in the Altimeter Mode.

Data Screens

The following explains the contents of each of the screens that appear in the Data Recall Mode.

Note

While an altitude record screen, or the high altitude or low altitude screen is displayed, the bottom part of the display alternates between the measurement date (month and day) and measurement time, at 1-second intervals.

Altitude Records

These are records of the 20 newest altitude readings taken with the watch by you. If you take more than 20 readings, the watch will delete the oldest readings to make room for the newest readings.

Current Stopwatch Session Record

1.Enter the Data Recall Mode.

2.Use the C button to cycle between the altitude records, current Altimeter Mode stopwatch record, and the historical record.

3.When the record you want is displayed, use the E (+) button and B (–) button to scroll through the data. Holding down the E or B button scrolls data at high speed.

4.After you are finished viewing data, press D to exit the Data Recall Mode.

Dashes (xxxx) will be displayed if data has been deleted or if there is no

corresponding data due to error, etc. In such cases, total ascent (ASC)

and total descent (DSC) values will show zero.

When total ascent (ASC) or total descent (DSC) exceeds 99,995 meters (or 99,980 feet), the applicable value will restart from zero.

Clearing the Historical Record

Use the following procedure to clear the contents of the historical record and restart all values from zero.

To clear the historical record

1. Press the D button to enter the Data Recall Mode.

2. Hold down A.

CLR will appear in the upper part of the display.

3. Keep A held down for an additional two seconds until CLR starts flashing.

The historical record high altitude screen will reappear when data deletion is complete.

If you release the A button part way through the above procedure, the watch will return to the historical record high altitude screen without deleting the data.

Barometer/Thermometer

This watch uses a pressure sensor to measure air pressure (barometric pressure) and a temperature sensor to measure temperature.

You can calibrate the pressure sensor and the temperature sensor if you suspect that readings are incorrect.

Barometric pressure is displayed in units of 1hPa (or 0.05 inHg).

Temperature

The displayed barometric pressure value changes to xxxx hPa (or inHg) if a measured barometric pressure falls outside the range of 260 hPa to

1100 hPa (7.65 inHg to 32.45 inHg). The barometric pressure value will reappear as soon as the measured barometric pressure is within the allowable range.

Temperature is displayed in units of 0.1°C (or 0.2°F).

The displayed temperature value changes to xxx °C (or °F) if a measured temperature falls outside the range of –10.0°C to 60.0°C (14.0°F to

140.0°F). The temperature value will reappear as soon as the measured temperature is within the allowable range.

In some areas, barometric pressure is expressed in millibars (mb) instead of hectopascals (hPa). It really makes no difference, because 1hPa = 1mb.

You can select either hectopascals (hPa) or inchesHg (inHg) as the display unit for the measured barometric pressure, and Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F) as the display unit for the measured temperature value. See “To select the temperature, barometric pressure, and altitude units”.

See “Barometer and Thermometer Precautions” for important precautions.
