manual abstract
Lowest altitude reached during the current session. Total cumulative ascent during the current session. Total cumulative descent during the current session. a. When you hold down A to start a save session, the watch will clear data that is already stored in the current session record. b. The watch will measure altitude and calculate data as described below, and update the current session record accordingly. Note that measurement and saves depend on whether or not the watch is in the Altimeter Mode. •In the Altimeter Mode •Outside the Altimeter Mode The measurements are taken and session data is updated every two minutes, and at 00, 15, 30, 45 of each hour. Altitude Measurement Type 0’05 2’00 First 3 minutes Updated every 5 seconds Updated every 5 seconds After 3 minutes Updated every 5 seconds Updated every 2 minutes, and at 00, 15, 30, 45 of each hour Historical Record The Historical Record keeps track of high altitude, low altitude, total ascent, and total descent values across multiple save sessions. The contents of this record are updated continually while an altitude measurement operation is in progress. How the historical record is updated The watch performs the following operations continually while an altitude measurement is in progress. Data High Altitude Low Altitude Total Ascent Total Descent Update Operation The historical record value is compared with the current session value, and the greater of the two is recorded in the historical record. The historical record value is compared with the current session value, and the lesser of the two is recorded in the historical record. The current session value is added to the historical record value. •See “Clearing the Historical Record” for information about clearing the historical record, which restarts all data values from zero. 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-toaltitude 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 altitude whenever one is available during your climb. To set a reference altitude 1. In the Altimeter Mode, hold down E for about two seconds until either OFF or the current reference altitude value starts to flash. This is the setting screen. 2. Press A (+) or C (–) 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 A and C 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 E to exit the setting screen. llll l lllll l llll l llll l l Altitude graph The altitude graph shows Altimeter Mode measurement results. •The vertical axis of the graph represents altitude, and each dot stands for 10 meters (40 feet). •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). Time Altitude Altitude Differential You also can use the Altimeter Mode to measure the altitude differential from a specific reference altitude. Specifying the point is as simple as pressing a single button to reset the current reference altitude value to zero. Altitude differential measurement is performed each time the watch performs an altitude measurement. •You must perform altitude differential measurement whenever you select format number 3 or 4 as the Altimeter Mode display format. •The range of the altitude differential value is –3,000 meters (–9,980 feet) to 3,000 meters (9,980 feet). •“-- -- --” is displayed in place of the altitude differential value whenever the measured value is outside the allowable range. •The watch will assume that the reference altitude setting is zero for the first measurement after you exit the Altimeter Mode setting screen. •See “Using Altitude Differential Measurement While Mountain Climbing or Hiking” for some real-life examples of how to use this feature. To reset the altitude differential value to zero In the Altimeter Mode, press E. •This will start altitude measurement. The altitude differential value will show 0 after measurement is complete. •You must perform altitude differential measurement whenever you select format number 3 or 4 as the Altimeter Mode display format.
