ST-4000 CHRONO
In 1897 the Original Swiss Army™ Knife was created in the small village of Ibach, Switzerland. Since that time, Victorinox® has become known in more than 100 countries for precision, quality, functionality and versatility. This century old heritage has been extended to Swiss Army Watches and Timepieces. Each reflects the ingenious design and outstanding durability we’ve come to stand for over the years.

USING THE ST-4000 ALTIMETER AND BAROMETER (ALTITUDE) The ST-4000 shows altitude below or above sea level from -4,000 feet to +30,000 feet in 5-foot increments. ALTIMETER AND BAROMETER DETAILS How the Altimeter Works The ST-4000 measures altitude by detecting differences in air pressure and displaying this information as altitude above sea level. The ST-4000 works the same way an aircraft altimeter does. Moving Barometer There are two kinds of barometers: fixed location and moving location.
Altitude Offset A weather change will produce a change in barometric pressure that causes an offset in the displayed altitude from the actual altitude. This offset is consistent at any altitude, so, if you start a hike with the altitude reading 50 feet too high, it will read 50 feet too high at any elevation on your hike. You remove the offset by adjusting the altitude.
Effects of Atmospheric Pressure Changes A change in atmospheric pressure will make the displayed altitude different from the known altitude of a landmark. The ST-4000 can be adjusted so that it displays the same altitude as the landmark. Minor atmospheric pressure changes may cause the displayed altitude to vary from the actual altitude by 50 feet. With the arrival or departure of a weather front, displayed altitude can change 100 to 200 feet, and a storm can cause a change of more than 200 feet.
Thermometer Accuracy The ST-4000 measures the ambient air temperature with a sensor inside its case. When the watch is worn against your skin, temperature readings will be affected significantly. Direct sunlight can also cause the ST-4000 to give high readings. For accurate readings, remove the watch from your wrist and place away from direct sunlight. Display The Altimeter and Thermometer revert to the Clock 10 minutes after the last time a button is pressed.

Altitude accumulators reset to zero and maximum Altitude resets to current altitude. Use the Sport Function Button to move from one display to another.
USING THE SPORT FUNCTIONS IN HIKING AND CLIMBING Example: Recording vertical ascent and maximum altitude on a hike. (see page 10, item 3 for functions) Step 1. At the trailhead reset Vertical Ascent Step 2. Start the Vertical Ascent accumulator. Arrow begins to blink.
Step 3. Reset Maximum Altitude Step 4. After completing your hike, turn the accumulator off RES S/S S/S If your hike is a loop or out-and-back, accumulated ascent and descent will be the same. Remember that accumulation does not begin until you have climbed 30 feet. If you want to record your accumulated vertical or maximum altitude for a week, month, or year, do not reset until the end of the period you want to record.
USING THE SPORT FUNCTIONS IN SKIING Example: Recording vertical descent and runs during a day of skiing. (see page 10, item 3 for functions) Step 1. At the lift reset Vertical Step 2. Start the Vertical Descent Descent accumulator.
