Seiko 7K32 manual Remarks on Using the Barometer Function, Second position Barometer hand

■REMARKS ON USING THE BAROMETER FUNCTION

(1)In passenger aircraft, air-conditioned building, tunnels, or places where the temperature changes greatly, the barometer fails to take correct measurements.

(2)If the barometer measures the atmospheric pressure outside the measurable range between 500 - 1,050hPa, barometer hand “1” indicates the following positions of the scale to signal it.

〈Note on the barometer adjustment〉

・If the barometer needs to be adjusted, follow the procedure below. It can be adjusted in 1 hPa increments with a press of a button.

・Unless other reliable barometer is available, howeber, never make this barometer

adjustment.

[How to make the barometer adjustment]

(1) Pull out crown “1” to the first click.

(2) Press and hold buttons B and C at the same time for more than 2 seconds. A

confirmation sound beeps, and the barometer adjustment function is activated.

(3) Press button B or C repeatedly to set the barometer hands to the atmospheric pressure

that the other barometer indicates. The hands move in 1 hPa increments.

〈Lower than 500hPa〉 〈Greater than 1,050hPa〉

(3)If the watch is used under water where some water pressure is applied to it, the barometer cannot make correct measurements. Barometer hand “1” may indicate the 6 second position indicate an improper value. The barometer will measure the atmospheric pressure normally if the water pressure is removed.

(4)When the small second hand moves at two-second intervals to signal that the battery nears its end, barometer hands “1” and “2” indicate the 7 second position (atmospheric pressure measurement stop mark) and “0 hPa”, respectively, and the atmospheric pressure measurement will not be made. In that case, replace the battery with a new one as soon as possible. (Refer to “REMARKS ON BATTERY”.)

(5)If barometer hand “1” indicates the atmospheric pressure measurement stop mark while the small second hand moves at the normal one-second intervals, it is possible that the barometer is out of order. Contact the retailer from which the watch was purchased or an authorized SEIKO dealer.

(6)When the time is set, the 10-minute interval measurement is started immediately after the procedure is completed, namely after crown “1” is pushed in to the first click or normal position from the second click, and repeated every 10 minutes.

After all the adjustments are completed, push the crown back in to the normal position.

Do not press buttons B and C at the same time before pushing the crown back in to the normal position, as this will cancel the barometer adjustment you have made.

When the battery is replaced with a new one, it will also be canceled.
