(in the lower display line) and the weather forecast (at the top of the display). Setting Time of DayRefer to section entitled “Setting Operation”on page 11 to understand how the buttons function during setting . Y ou may set the following values for Time of Day: Hour ,Minute ,Seconds , Year ,Month, Date,Date F ormat, Time F ormat, Hourly Chime . jacket (in cold weather) or clipping it to your belt or pack (ideally in an area not constantly exposed to the sun) to improve the accur acy of the...

Using the Dual Time Zone featureThe watch can keep tr ack of the time for two zones (T1 and T2).By default, T1 is the “primary” time zone (the one that you can see) and T2 is the “secondary” time zone (the one you can’t see). The indicator for the primary time zone is shown in the lower left of the display . Viewing the secondary time zoneYou may tempor arily view (or “peek”at) the secondary time zone by briefly pressing and holding the STOP/RESET button. While you are “peeking”at the secondary...

BARO - Barometer ModeWant a better understanding of the forces that influence the weather? This is the mode to do just that – here you can view the current air pressure (local and sea level), monitor the current temper ature and study the changes in air pressure over time ,presented in a gr aphical format. Finally ,the weather forecast for the next 4 - 6 hours is shown at the top of the display .Switching time zonesIf you wish to switch to the secondary time zone ,simply continue holding the STOP/RESET...

When viewing the Time of Day,Sea Level Pressure and T emper ature group ,press ST OP/RESET to toggle temper a- ture display units ( °F or °C). NO TE: Unit selection made for temper ature and barometric pressure in BARO mode applies to all modes in the watch. F or example ,if you select “°C”for the temper ature display in BARO mode ,it will also appear in °C in Time of Day and Altimeter modes . Calibrating the BarometerCalibration in BARO mode allows you to synchronize the weather forecasting feature...

What is “Sea Level Pressure”?Sea Level Pressure is simply the air pressure for a specific location adjusted to account for the air pressure difference due to the altitude of the location. Because very few places on the earth are actually at sea level, this adjust- ment factor was devised to allow for easy comparison of air pressure values from place to place . For example ,with- out this compensation, a pressure reading of 29.5 inHg in Denver ,CO would not mean the same as the same reading in Miami, FL...

Using the AltimeterPress and release MODEuntil you see “AL TI” on the dis- play .After a couple of seconds ,the watch will display the following data, in the order shown, for two seconds each: • The highest recorded altitude (indicated by “HIGH”in the lower display line). • The total accumulated positive altitude changes (indicated by “ACC” in the lower display line). T ypically ,if you are above sea level, the “local” pressure value that the watch also displays will be lower than the sea level...

Altimeter PerformanceWhen ALTI mode is first entered, the watch will update the altitude information every two seconds and will continue this fast data update r ate for thirty minutes.After thirty minutes elapses ,if the watch determines that the altitude is no longer changing significantly ,it will reduce its data update rate to that of the barometer function (every 2.5 minutes). At that point, two things will happen: 1. The weather icons will appear in the upper part of the display indicating the...

1.Press and hold SETuntil the word “CAL”appears in the upper line of the display and the sign of the calibr ation value is flashing . 2. Press ST ART/SPLIT to adjust the sign (positive for altitudes above sea level, negative for altitudes below). 3. Press MODE to move on to adjusting the current altitude value . 4. Using ST ART/SPLIT (to increase) and STOP/RESET (to decrease), adjust flashing value . 5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each value of the calibration altitude . 6. Press MODE to move on to...

track, the lap time would be the time for one lap around the tr ack,assuming that you push the START/SPLIT button as you cross the start/finish line each time . Split Time: The elapsed time from the start of the workout, sometimes called the “total time”. “T aking a Lap”: Marking the end of one segment (or lap) and the beginning of another by pressing START/SPLIT while the Chronograph is running .Also called “taking a split”. Using the ChronographPress and release MODEuntil you see “CHRO”on the...

Changing the Display FormatYou have the option of viewing either the lap or split time in the large digits in the center of the watch display .The display format can be changed at any time ,though the method changes based on whether or not laps have been taken. The word “LAP”will appear on the display to inform you where the lap time is displayed. If no laps have yet been taken: Press SET. “FORMAT”will appear on the display ,followed by the current configur ation,which will be flashing .Press ST...
