E. Altitude Compensation
The altitude displayed by this watch is relative altitude
based on standard atmosphere. To obtain the correct
altitude during mountain climbing, the altitude
displayed by this watch must be aligned with an
accurate altitude at a geographical point of reference
(triangular station, first-order benchmark, an altitude
on an accurate map, etc.). Such an operation is called
“altitude correction”. If air pressure changes 1 hPa,
the altitude difference will be approximately 10m.
Therefore, altitude compensation must be made
several times a day if the weather changes drastically
during mountain climbing.
[Compensating the altitude]
The current altitude can be corrected within a range of
ע300m.
Compensation
a) Press button
ࠗ2 for more than 2 seconds in Time
Mode (or Continuous Altimetry Mode). The second
hand (G) changes to indicate 0.5 second increments.
This indicates that the watch is now in Altitude
Compensation Mode.
b) Press button
ࠗ1 or ࠗ2 to compensate the altitude.
• Button
ࠗ1 : Altitude Hand [l] (A) decrement up by 10m
in each time the button is pressed.
• Button
ࠗ2 : Altitude Hand [l] (A) increment by 10m in
each time the button is pressed.
c) After compensation is completed, return to Time
Mode (or Continuous Altimetry Mode).
Pressing button
ࠗ2 for 2 seconds or more, returns
the watch to Time Mode (or Continuous Altimetry
Mode).
Note: If the watch is left in the Altitude Compensation
Mode for more than 1 minute it will automatically
return to Time Mode or Continuous Altimetry
Mode. (Auto Return)
F. Chronograph
1. Switching to Chronograph mode
Press button
ࠗ1 once in Time Mode. The function
hand (A) and the second hand (G) will move forward
to the 0 position. The mode hand (B) will advance to
SEC (seconds). The watch is now in Chronograph
Mode (reset).
* If the watch is left in Reset Chronograph Mode for
3 minutes it will automatically return to Time Mode.
2. Chronograph measurement
A maximum of 99 minutes and 59 seconds may be
measured by the chronograph. After that, measurement
stops automatically and the chronograph returns to
the reset position.
ࠗ1 Measurements of more than
1 minute
The chronograph measures in
units of 1/20 (0.05 seconds).
Measurement is indicated by
the chronograph’s 1/20 hand
(G) and the chronograph’s
second hand (A).
The mode hand (B) indicates the SEC (seconds)
zone.
ࠗ2 Measurements of over 1 minute
The chronograph measures in one second
increments. Measurement is indicated by the
chronograph’s second hand (G) and the
chronograph’s minute hand (A). The mode hand
(B) indicates the MIN (minutes) zone.
3. Reading the chronograph’s scales
ࠗ1 Measurements of less than 1 minute:
Value are indicated by the chronograph’s second
hand (A) and 1/20 hand (G). To read seconds, use
the outer scales. In Fig. A as follows, the
chronograph displays 33.45 seconds.
Once 60 seconds is reached, the second hand (A)
will change to the minute hand and indicate 1 minute.
ࠗ2 Measurements of more than 1 minute:
Value are indicated by the chronograph’s minute
hand (A) and second (G). To read minutes, use the
outer scales. In Fig. B as follows, the chronograph
indicates 80 minutes and 18 seconds).
Once 100 minutes is reached, measurement
automatically stops and the chronograph returns
to the reset position.
