To select the altitude auto measurement method 1. In the Altimeter Mode, hold down E until the current reference altitude value starts to fl ash. This is the setting screen. • Before the reference altitude starts to fl ash, the message SET Hold will appear on the display. Keep E depressed until SET Hold disappears. 2. Press D to display the current altitude auto measurement method setting. • This will cause either 0’05 or 2’00 to fl ash on the display. 3. Press A to toggle the altitude auto measurement method setting between 0’05 and 2’00. 4. Press E to exit the setting screen. Using the Altitude Differential Value The Altimeter Mode screen includes an altitude differential value that shows the change in altitude from a reference point you specify. The altitude differential value is updated each time the watch takes an altitude reading. • 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. • See “Using the Altitude Differential Value While Mountain Climbing or Hiking” for some real-life examples of how to use this feature. To specify the altitude differential start point In the Altimeter Mode, press E. • The watch will take an altitude reading and register the result as the altitude differential value start point. The altitude differential value will be reset to zero at this time.

To use the altitude differential value Current location Destination altitude 1. In the Altimeter Mode, check to make sure that an altitude reading is on the display. • If an altitude reading is not displayed, press A to take one. See “To take an altimeter reading” for details. 2. Use the contour lines on your map to determine the difference in altitude between your current location and your destination. 3. In the Altimeter Mode, press E to specify your current location as the altitude differential start point. • The watch will take an altitude reading and register the result as the altitude differential value start point. The altitude differential value will be reset to zero at this time. Altitude differential Altitude differentialAltitude differential 4. While comparing the altitude difference you determined on the map and the watch’s altitude differential value, advance towards your destination. • If the map shows that the difference in altitude between your location and your destination is +80 meters for example, you know you will be nearing your destination when the displayed altitude differential value shows +80 meters. Altitude AltitudeAltitude Specifying a Reference Altitude Value The altitude readings 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 value whenever one is available during your climb. After you specify a reference altitude value, the watch adjusts its air-pressure-to-altitude conversion calculation accordingly. To specify a reference altitude value llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll l llll 1. In the Altimeter Mode, hold down E until the current reference altitude value starts to flash. This is the setting screen. • Before the reference altitude value starts to flash, the message SET Hold will appear on the display. Keep E depressed until SET Hold disappears. 2. Press A (+) or C (–) to change the current reference altitude value by 5 meters (or 20 feet). • Specify a reference altitude value based on accurate altitude information about your current location from a map, etc. • You can set the reference altitude value 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 value), so the watch performs air pressure to altitude conversions based on preset data only. 3. Press E to exit the setting screen. Types of Altitude Data The watch can maintain two types of altitude data in its memory: manual measurement records, and auto save values (minimum, maximum, vertical ascent, vertical descent). • Use the Data Recall Mode to view data stored in memory. See “Viewing Altitude Records” for details. Manual Measurement Records Any time you perform the procedure below in the Altimeter Mode, the watch will create and store a record with the currently displayed altitude reading, along with the date and time the reading was taken. There is enough mem...
