Main functions (overview) [SENSOR] [MODE] [MODE] [MODE] Barometer Mode Compass Mode Time/Date Mode Daily Alarm Mode Chronograph Mode (Stopwatch) [MODE] [MODE] [MODE] [MODE] [MODE] [MODE] [MODE] m / h Altimeter Mode Ski Recall mode Ski mode Dual time mode (second time zone) Sensor mode Clock mode Countdown Timer Mode 11

12 9. Clock mode a) Switch between displays temperature day of the week weather forecast current time date Time/Date Temperature sea level pressure tendency altitude tendency Press the SENSOR button to switch between clock mode and sensor mode. Press the START/STOP button, to switch between displays in clock mode: - time/date (including day of the week) - temperature ( C or F) - atmospheric pressure (history display, in relation to sea level) - altimeter (history display) Air temperature cannot be measured properly if the wristwatch is worn around the wrist. Take it off for at least 20 to 30 minutes to allow it to adjust to the ambient temperature. If you hold down the START/STOP button, the watch switches through the displays automatically (until you release the button). Atmospheric pressure (history display, in relation to sea level) Clock mode Altimeter (history display) 12

13 b) Weather forecast sunny lightly cloudy precipitation cloudy Weather forecast symbols Based on changes in atmospheric pressure measured by the integrated barometric sensor, the weather forecast can be calculated for the next 12 to 24 hours. Please note: The wristwatch must be at one altitude for at least 8 hours before it can make a calculation (e.g. overnight). If you use the wristwatch when hiking or skiing, the atmospheric pressure changes due to changing altitudes, which makes the weather forecast impossible. The display does not represent the current weather conditions. It is a forecast of the next 12 to 24 hours. The calculation of the weather forecast only based on atmospheric pressure renders results with a maximum accuracy of 70%. The weather on the next day might therefore turn out to be completely different. For this reason, do not rely on the weather forecast of your wristwatch, but inform yourself locally, e.g. when you would like to hike in the mountains. In case of sudden or big changes in atmospheric pressure, the display symbols are updated to indicate the weather change. If the display symbols do not change, either the atmospheric pressure has not changed or the change took place to slowly that it could not have been registered by the wristwatch. 13

The data is just an example to demonstrate what information the wristwatch can store and how it can be retrieved. 28

29 f) How to record a ski descent ( Ski Lap )? Ski Record 1 Ski Lap 1 m :00 Ski Lap : b c a d e 0 m When ski mode is switched on: The wristwatch creates a new record ( Ski Record ) and stores the starting time and the date (b). At the beginning of a descent ( Ski Lap ) (c) and the end (d), the wristwatch can record the relevant data automatically or manually. In one record ( Ski Record ) all descents ( Ski Lap ) are stored until ski mode is switched off again (e). Automatic recording Recording of a descent ( Ski Lap ) begins when the wristwatch notices a significant change in altitude. Recording ends when there is no change in altitude any more. The descent ( Ski Lap ) is stored. Manual recording You can also manually set the exact beginning and end of a descent: symbol is flashing m /h After switching on ski mode, press the MODE button once shortly. The display shows MANUAL. Press the START/STOP button at the beginning of every descent. The descent timer starts. Press the START/STOP button at the end of every descent as well. The timer stops and the descent ( Ski Lap ) is stored. Ski mode on 29

30 g) Slope inclination angle, setting the sensitivity 18 inclination angle 18 Setting the inclination angle Slope inclination Most ski runs specify the average inclination angle for skiers. Enter this angle in your wristwatch. Setting the sensitivity To detect changes in altitude (measured by barometer) from the beginning to the end of an automatic recording, the sensitivity can be set for ascents (e.g. lift) and descents separately. Depending on the ski run automatic recording might interpret even short segments as the end of the descent. Then same might happen if you stop to wait for a fellow skier. Test the different settings. In some cases, it might be advisable to use manual recording. sensitivity (ascent) sensitivity (descent) fast fast normal normal slow slow Setting the sensitivity 30

38 c) Absolute and relative altitude 180m 80m 180m 80m 0m Absolute altitude Illustration b shows the absolute altitude. This is the altitude above sea level (sea level is always 0 m or 0 ft ). Example in illustration: The mountains are 80m and 180m above sea level. Illustration c shows the relative altitude. This is the difference in altitude between the current altitude and the altitude you defined as 0 for the altimeter. Example in illustration: The altimeter was set to 0 on the lower mountain to measure the difference in altitude. The difference in altitude between the two mountains is 100m. 180m 100m 100m 80m 0m 0m Relative altitude 38

39 d) Overview of altimeter settings Zero position ( ZERO ) (for relative altitude) S E T S E T Enter known altitude ( ALTI ) S E T As the calculation of altitude is based on the current atmospheric pressure, a change in atmospheric pressure has an effect on the altitude display. For precise results, you might have to re-calibrate the altimeter. In ski mode, you cannot calibrate or make adjustments. Every calibration or adjustment is independent. If you set a known altitude, the settings for atmospheric pressure at sea level are ignored. Factory setting ( F.DEF ) Set atmospheric pressure at sea level ( SEAP. ) ZERO = zero position: Select ZERO if you want your wristwatch to display the altitude from a defined place (e.g. lower ski lift station). The current altitude of the wristwatch is set to 0. The letter r is displayed on the right of the altitude to indicate that the altitude shown represents a difference in altitude. ALTI = Enter known altitude: If you know the altitude of a place (e.g. a sign indicates the altitude), you can enter that altitude as reference value. SEAP. = Enter atmospheric pressure at sea level: This setting allows you to enter the atmospheric pressure at sea level. F.DEF ( Factory Default ) = factory settings: The altimeter is reset to factory settings. The atmospheric pressure at sea level is set to mbar which allows calculating the current altitude based on the current atmospheric pressure. 39

49 C O M P 13. Sensor mode: Compass a) General operating notes direction of compass direction of movement magnetic north pole degrees of direction of movement current time The position of Earth s magnetic north pole is not identical to the geographic North Pole. Please note the following chapters in this respect. Calibrate the compass occasionally to increase the accuracy of the display. Keep the wristwatch away from magnets or devices with electric field (e.g. mobile phones, loudspeakers, motors, cables). Moreover, make sure you keep a distance to metal objects. The bigger the object, the bigger the distance should be. The digital compass cannot be used within vehicles. When using it in buildings (e.g. for testing purposes), please note that depending on the construction (armoured concrete, metallised insulating glass windows, cables) the compass may yield very inaccurate results. 49

B, C, and D, e.g. a mountain) from position A (your location) can be specified as a compass direction (e.g. N for north, W for west) or as a degree value. The degree value is the angle ( ) between north (0 ) and the object. See the illustration and the table on the left. Compass direction examples: The compass direction of object B as seen from point A is west ( W on the display). The compass direction of object C as seen from point A is southwest ( SE on the display). The compass direction of object D as seen from point A is northwest ( NW on the display). Degree value examples: The degree value of object B as seen from point A is 90. The degree value of object C as seen from point A is 135. The degree value of object D as seen from point A is

51 c) Display modes Normal mode Energy saving mode Calibration needed Normal mode The compass direction is shown in the first display line (e.g. NW for northwest). The degree value is shown in the middle line. The current time is shown in the lowest display line. The marking on the rim shows the magnetic north. Energy saving mode If no button is pressed for one minute, the wristwatch will go into energy saving mode ( IDLE on the display). The compass function is turned off. Press any button to reactivate the compass. Calibration needed If the compass detects inaccuracies or disturbances, OFF CAL is displayed in the first line and the degree value starts flashing. Please see the following chapters on how to do the calibration. 51

Press the START/STOP button to change the display for point C to the opposite direction. You get 135 (in the example). If you draw both angles on the map, you will get your current location A on the map. 315 E 3120m 225 C 0 D 4110m B 2120m 315 A 0 Use as navigation aid Even if it seems senseless in times of GPS and little portable GPS devices, it is very well possible to navigate using a map, a compass, and distinctive points. There are books as well as internet sites with a lot of information on this topic. When you go hiking, determine on a map the directions and degree values between two distinctive points (e.g. 315 from point A to B, 0 from point B to C etc.). Check the compass display when hiking. When you come to a fork, for example, you can determine the approximate direction that will lead you to your destination. 53
