TURN ON THE WATCH (FIRST-TIME USE ONLY) Press any key for 2 seconds to activate the LCD display. BATTERIES The watch uses a 1 x CR2032 lithium battery, which has already been installed. See below for battery warnings. NOTE Heavy use of the backlight, altitude alarm Heavy use of the backlight, altitude alarm and sailing timer will reduce the battery service life signifi cantly. If you need to replace the battery, we highly recommend that you contact the retailer or our customer service department.

3. With your fi nger, remove the old battery.

4. Insert the new battery with the + side upwards.

5. Replace the battery compartment lid by twisting it

clockwise until it is fi rmly in place. NOTE When you replace the batteries it is important When you replace the batteries it is important to re-calibrate the magnetic sensor and altitude or sea level. (See “Set the Altitude” or “Set the Altitude Alarm / Sea Level / Weather Icon” section.)6

There are 4 main modes: Clock, Altimeter-Barometer, Sailing Timer and Compass. Each main mode displays a banner screen telling you which mode you are entering. After 1 second the banner screen is automatically replaced by the main mode screen. Press MODE to switch between the 4 main modes.

Non-rechargeable and rechargeable batteries must be disposed of properly. For this purpose, special containers are provided for non-rechargeable and rechargeable battery disposal at communal collection centres.

The altimeter measures altitude in either metres or feet. The watch is equipped with an intelligent barometer that determines altitude by the built-in sensor with the advanced Baro-compensation technology. The sensor can also distinguish the differences between pressure caused by the changes in physical altitudes and pressure caused by weather conditions. This smart distinction eliminates discrepancies and makes the altimeter reading more accurate than most of the average devices available on the market.10

4. Repeat step 3 to change other

settings for this mode. The order of the altitude settings is:

• Altitude unit - metres / feet

• Altitude height To effectively set the altimeter you need to know the correct altitude. To do this:

• Obtain a topographical map; fi nd your location and its related altitude reading.

• Set the sea level pressure on your watch. IMPORTANT

• This unit employs a semiconductor pressure sensor that could be affected by temperature change. While taking the altitude measurement, ensure that the unit is not exposed to sudden temperature changes.

• It is recommended to calibrate the altitude or sea level pressure regularly to maintain the accuracy of the watch.

The altitude bar chart at the bottom of the display shows the altitude history. It consists of 7 rows and 14 columns. The latest reading is entered in the right hand column and always at the height of the 4th row. Therefore, all the other readings will adjust their position to refl ect the latest reading. NOTE 1 row = 20m (20m = 65.6ft) 1 row = 20m (20m = 65.6ft) 1 column =1 min11

Look at your watch to see what your current altitude level is, then look at the bar chart to see the changes in altitude. See the table below for how to read the bar chart in more detail.

Press any key to stop the alarm sound. If the set value is reached again, the alarm will be re-activated. NOTE Setting the altitude affects the sea level Setting the altitude affects the sea level pressure. SEA LEVEL For an accurate reading, you must fi rst calibrate the sea level pressure. Once the sea level pressure is calibrated, the altitude will automatically calibrate to the reference altitude using the built-in auto-calibration function. When you set the sea level on your watch it adjusts the altimeter to the current altitude. Information on the current sea level pressure can be found in newspapers, local news and radio reports, or on the Internet. NOTE It is necessary to re-calibrate the sea level It is necessary to re-calibrate the sea level pressure or altitude if the product is placed in a pressurised cabinet such as an aeroplane.

SEA LEVEL PRESSURE DISPLAY

The sea level history can be viewed as a measurement reading in hPa / inHg or as a line chart. It consists of 7 rows and 14 columns. The latest reading is entered in the right hand column and always at the height of the 4th row. Therefore, all the other readings will adjust their position to refl ect the latest reading. NOTE 1hPa=0.02953inHg 1hPa=0.02953inHg Look at your watch to see what your sea level pressure is, then look at the line chart to see the changes in pressure. See the table below for how to read the line chart in more detail.16

The compass shows the bearing in degrees together with 16 cardinal points. The outer circumference of the display consists of 60 segments, which graphically show the bearing, (one lit segment indicates North, three lit segments indicate South). The bubble shows you when the compass is fl at so you can take an accurate reading. Simply look directly over the bubble and position the small bubble in the centre of the circle. The compass display is active for 30 seconds at a time. After this, the compass will go into power saving mode and “

NOTE Compass readings should be performed away from magnetic materials. Avoid large magnetic objects, power lines, loudspeakers, electric motors etc. If the compass is exposed to large magnetic forces reset the calibration.

SET THE COMPASS SENSOR CALIBRATION

The compass should be calibrated:

• Before you use it for the fi rst time.

• When the battery is replaced.

• Before you leave for an extended outdoor activity.

• Whenever it is exposed to a strong magnetic source, extreme cold weather, or you suspect that other environmental conditions have affected the compass readings.

• If you notice that the compass is not showing the direction correctly. To set the compass sensor calibration:

MODE to switch to Compass Mode.

SET until you see the screen opposite.

Rotate the watch counter- clockwise at the same speed as the segments that are moving around the circumference. The rotation is fi nished when you have completed 1 1/4 turns and the screen display opposite appears. NOTE For successful calibration, it is important to hold For successful calibration, it is important to hold the compass level during the calibration process. Simply lay it on a fl at surface such as an over-turned drinking glass on a table.

The compass segments now show the angle between your locked bearing and your current bearing. Therefore, you need to change the direction you are on to get back onto your locked bearing course.

Declination is the angle between where a compass needle points (magnetic North Pole) and the true North Pole. The declination angle can vary from 0-30 degrees East (E) or West (W) and can be found on most maps or on the Internet. When you set the declination angle on the compass you compensate for the difference between true north and magnetic north. This makes the compass reading more accurate.

When you do not know the declination angle, the true north calibration function can be used to compensate for the difference between magnetic and true north. All you need to know is the direction of true north (this can be found from landmarks in your immediate vicinity). Setting the true north calibration makes the compass reading more accurate. To set the true north calibration:
