Basic Operations

This section provides an overview of the watch

and explains operations that are common to

all modes.

Important!

●

This watch is not a special-purpose

measuring instrument.

Measurement function readings are

intended for general reference only.

●

Whenever using the Digital

Compass of this watch for serious

trekking,

mountain climbing, or other

activities, be sure to always take

along another compass to confirm

readings. If the readings produced

by the Digital Compass of this watch

are different from those of the other

compass, perform bidirectional

calibration of the Digital Compass to

ensure better accuracy.

ー

Compass readings and

calibration will not be possible if

the watch is in the vicinity of a

permanent magnet (magnetic

accessory, etc.), metal objects,

high-voltage wires, aerial wires, or

electrical household appliances

(TV, computer, cellphone, etc.)

Digital Compass

●

The watch’s Altimeter Mode

calculates and displays relative

altitude based on barometric

pressure readings produced by its

pressure sensor. Because of this,

altitude values displayed by the

watch may be different from your

actual elevation and/or sea level

elevation indicated for the area

where you are located. Regular

calibration in accordance with the

local altitude (elevation) indications

is recommended.

Altitude Measurement

Note

●

In this manual, the expression “time

signal” refers to a time calibration

signal. Time signals include time

information.

●

Note that the watch illustrations in

this manual are intended for

reference only. The actual watch

may appear somewhat different

than depicted in the illustrations.
