mode (C ) and then back to time mode (T ).
Digital altimeter (-500m to 9000m or -1600 feet to 29500 feet)
T o minimize the effects of air pressure fluctuations the altimeter should always be
checked / adjusted when at a location with a known altitude (for example at sea level).
Setting
Press D to enter altimeter mode (A ). The altitude above or below sea level is shown
on the display .
T o adjust the altitude press C to enter Trip T imer mode t . Should the timer already be
running, press A to stop the timer .
Press and hold A until the N or D symbol begins to blink.
Press C to choose the upwards distance counter N or the downwards distance
counter D .
For an ascent choose the upwards distance counter; for a descent choose the
downwards distance counter .
Press A to confirm your setting; the first digit of the altitude display will begin to blink.
Press C to set the first digit und confirm your setting by pressing A.
Repeat the process until the desired altitude is set.
T o reset the altitude to sea level, press and hold A until 0 appears on the display .
Ascent or descent (trip)
Before beginning your ascent or descent, enter T rip T imer mode t by pressing C.
Press A to start the timer . The timer can be stopped and restarted at any time by
pressing A.
The current rate of ascent or descent will appear in the upper part of the display .
Press C to enter the different functions t (T rip-Timer), d (total altitude gain or loss) and
a (average ascent or descent speed).
T o reset (set to zero) the current trip information, first enter Trip T imer Mode t by
pressing C.
Press A to stop the timer and then press and hold A for 3 seconds to reset the data.
If the height above sea level does not change more than 2.5 meters within 5 minutes,
the altimeter will enter energy saving mode. In energy saving mode the height above
sea level will only be measured once per minute. If the height changes more than 5
meters within 1 Minute the watch will exit energy saving mode and the altitude will be
measured once every 2 seconds. Energy saving mode can also be exited by pressing
any button.
Digital Compass
Press D to switch to compass mode (C ).
For precise measurements hold the compass level to the ground pointing in the direction
of N .
The compass shows direction in 3 ways:
1. Precise direction with N in degrees,
2. and cardinal readout e.g. South-East (SE) 135°
3. Precise direction of north (SSS ),
south (S S S ), east (S ) and west (S ) on the
outer ring.
T o conserve battery power the compass will stop
directional measurements 1 minute after the display
appears. Press A to repeat the directional
measurement.
These dots represent the needle of a conventional
compass:
Example: finding north
The symbol (SSS ) can be regarded as the tip of an imaginary needle pointing towards
north. The Symbol (S S S) represents the "tail" end of the needle pointing towards south.
Regardless of the orientation of the compass, north and south is always easily identified
with the symbols (SSS ) and (S S S).
Calibrating the compass and environmental interference
All compasses, including digital units, use the earths magnetic field and are sensitive to
environmental interference. Distortions of the magnetic field may be caused by various
sources such as large metal objects, electrical appliances, computers, transformers and
high-voltage power lines.
T o achieve precise measurements the compass should be calibrated if:
(1) the error message "Err" (for magnetic distortions) appears continuously ,
(2) the numeric readout in degrees is in error by more than 10°
(3) the compass is used in a vehicle for the first time; in this case the magnetic distortions
caused by the metallic parts of the vehicle must be compensated.
Calibrating the Compass
Press D to enter the compass function (C). Press and hold A to enter calibration mode
CAL. T o start the calibration press C. The outer ring will on the display will be shown and will
slowly turn.
Place the watch on a flat, level surface (keep away from metal objects, electrical appliances,
computers and high-voltage power lines). T urn the watch slowly in clockwise direction until
you have completed two complete 360° turns. The turns do not need to be perfect but both
turns must be completed in the same direction.
Each turn must not last longer than 60 seconds and not less than 20 seconds.
Complete the calibration procedure by pressing C.
Incorrect calibration can result in erroneous readings from the compass. Preform a new
calibration if the readings seem incorrect.
Entering the declination angle for true north
The magnetic declination at any point on the Earth is the angle between the local magnetic
field -- the direction the north end of a compass points -- and true north.
The local declination is given on the map margin as either east declination (plus) or west
declination (minus).
When navigating, the plus declination must subtracted from and the minus declination
added to the direction on the map.
T o enter the declination press D to enter the compass function (C ). Press and hold A to
enter calibration mode CAL. Press A again to reach the setting for declination "dEC".
Upon reaching the setting for declination the letter "E" (for east) will b egin to flash on the
display . Press C to choose E or W (west) declination and press A to confirm your choice.
The declination value in degrees will blink on the display . Press C to enter the value and
press A to confirm your choice.
The declination value entered into the watch will influence the reading on the compass and
needs to be activated ("On") by pressing C. Press A to confirm.
The following example shows the effect of the declination setting:
The direction shown is N10° (10 degrees north).
- If an east adjustment (E) of 30 degrees is entered the current direction will change to NE
(north-east) 40 degrees.
- If a west adjustment (W) of 30 degrees is entered the current direction will change to NW
(north-west) 340 degrees.
Important Information
Compass
The compass should not be used in the immediate vicinity of magnetic objects- for example
other compasses.
The compass should be recalibrated If the error message "Err" appears continuously on the
display .
Hold the compass exactly horizontally to get a precise reading.
T emperature
The temperature shown is measured within the watch. Please note that your body
temperature will therefore influence the reading.
T o correctly measure the temperature, take of f the watch for 15 to 30 minutes.
Avoid placing the watch in direct sunlight.
Altimeter
All altimeters (except GPS units) show the altitude by measuring the atmospheric pressure.
Changes in local air pressure can therefore af fect the altitude reading.
Please check and readjust the altimeter when you are at a location of known altitude or at
sea level.
