Direction Meaning Direction Meaning Direction Meaning Direction Meaning E S W orth East South West E ESE SSW WW See Digita Compass Precautions for other important information about taking direction readings. Digita Compass Precautions This watch features a buit-in magnetic bearing sensor that detects terrestria magnetism. This means that north indicated by this watch is magnetic north, which is somewhat different from true poar north. The magnetic north poe is ocated in northern Canada, whie the magnetic south poe is in southern Austraia. ote that the difference between magnetic north and true north as measured with a magnetic compasses tends to be greater as one gets coser to either of the magnetic poes. You aso shoud remember that some maps indicate true north (instead of magnetic north), and so you shoud make aowances when using such maps with this watch. E SE SW W ortheast Southeast Southwest orthwest EE SSE WSW W orthnortheast Eastsoutheast Southsouthwest Westnorthwest Eastnortheast Southsoutheast Westsouthwest orthnorthwest Location Taking a direction reading when you are near a source of strong magnetism can cause arge errors in readings. Because of this, you shoud avoid taking direction readings whie in the vicinity of the foowing types of objects: permanent magnets (magnetic neckaces, etc.), concentrations of meta (meta doors, ockers, etc.), high tension wires, aeria wires, househod appiances (TVs, persona computers, washing machines, freezers, etc.) Accurate direction readings are impossibe whie in a train, boat, air pane, etc. Accurate readings aso are impossibe indoors, especiay inside ferroconcrete structures. This is because the meta framework of such structures picks up magnetism from appiances, etc. Storage The precision of the bearing sensor may deteriorate if the watch becomes magnetized. Because of this, you shoud be sure to store the watch away from magnets or any other sources of strong magnetism, incuding: permanent magnets (magnetic neckaces, etc.) and househod appiances (TVs, persona computers, washing machines, freezers, etc.) Whenever you suspect that the watch may have become magnetized, perform one of the caibration procedures under Caibrating the Bearing Sensor. Caibrating the Bearing Sensor You shoud caibrate the bearing sensor whenever you fee that the direction readings being produced by the watch are off. There are three different caibration methods avaiabe: magnetic decination correction, bidirectiona caibration, and northery caibration. Magnetic Decination Correction With magnetic decination correction, you input a magnetic decination ange (difference between magnetic north and true north), which aows the watch to indicate true north. You can perform this procedure when the magnetic decination ange is indicated on the map you are using. ote that you can input the decination ange in degree units ony, so you may need to round off the vaue specified on the map. If your map indicates the decination ange as 7.4, you shoud input 7. In the case of 7.6 input 8, for 7.5 you can input 7 or 8. Bidirectiona Caibration and orthery Caibration Bidirectiona caibration and northery caibration caibrate the accuracy of the direction sensor in reation to magnetic north. Use bidirectiona caibration when you want to take readings within an area exposed to magnetic force. This type of caibration shoud be used if the watch becomes magnetized for any reason. With northery caibration, you teach the watch which way is north (which you have to determine with another compass or some other means). Important! If you want to perform both bidirectiona and northery caibration, be sure to perform bidirectiona caibration first, and then perform northery caibration. This is necessary because bidirectiona caibration cances any existing northery caibration setting. The more correcty you perform bidirectiona caibration, the better the accuracy of the bearing sensor readouts. You shoud perform bidirectiona caibration whenever you change environments where you use the bearing sensor, and whenever you fee that the bearing sensor is producing incorrect readings. To perform magnetic decination correction Magnetic decination ange direction Magnetic decination ange vaue 1. In the Digita Compass Mode, hod down E for about two seconds unti the magnetic decination ange and magnetic decination ange direction vaues start to fash on the dispay. This is the setting screen. 2. Use A (+) and C ( ) to change the magnetic decination ange and magnetic decination ange direction settings. You can seect a vaue within the range of W 90 to E 90 with these settings. The foowing expains magnetic decination ange direction settings. OFF: o magnetic decination correction performed. The magnetic decination ange with this setting is 0. E: When magnetic north is to the east (east decination) W: When magnetic north is to the west (west decination) You can turn off (OFF) magnetic decination correction (which effectivey makes the magnetic decination ange: 0 ) by pressing A and C at the same time. The iustration above, for exampe, shows the vaue you shoud input and the direction setting you shoud seect when the map shows a magnetic decination of 1 West. 3. When the setting is the way you want, press E to exit the setting screen. Precautions about bidirectiona caibration You can use any two opposing directions for bidirectiona caibration. You must, however, make sure that they are 180 degrees opposite each other. Remember that if you perform the procedure incorrecty, you wi get wrong bearing sensor readings. Make sure that you do not move the watch whie caibration of either direction is in progress. You shoud perform bidirectiona caibration in an environment that is the same as that where you pan to be taking direction readings. If you pan to take direction readings in an open fied, for exampe, caibrate in an open fied. To perform bidirectiona caibration 1. In the Digita Compass Mode, hod down E for about two seconds unti the magnetic decination ange and magnetic decination ange direction vaues start to fash on the dispay. This is the setting screen. 2. Press D to dispay the bidirectiona caibration screen. At this time, the north pointer fashes at the 12 o cock position to indicate that the watch is ready to caibrate the first direction. 3. Pace the watch on a eve surface facing any direction you want, and press C to caibrate the first direction. xxx is shown on the dispay whie caibration is being performed. When caibration is successfu, the dispay wi show OK and x2x, and the north pointer fashes at the 6 o cock position. This means that the watch is ready for caibration of the second direction. 4. Rotate the watch 180 degrees. 5. Press C again to caibrate the second direction. xxx is shown on the dispay whie caibration is being performed. When caibration is successfu, the dispay wi show OK and the Digita Compass Mode (showing the ange vaue) screen. If xxx appears and then changes to ERR (error) on the caibration screen, it means that there is something wrong with the sensor. When ERR disappears after about one second, try performing the caibration again. If ERR keeps appearing, contact your origina deaer or nearest authorized CASIO distributor to have the watch checked. To perform northery caibration 1. In the Digita Compass Mode, hod down E for about two seconds unti the magnetic decination ange and magnetic decination ange direction vaues start to fash on the dispay. This is the setting screen. 2. Press D twice to dispay the northery caibration screen. At this time, -- (north) appears on the dispay. 3. Pace the watch on a eve surface, and position it so that its 12 o cock position points north (as measured with another compass). 4. Press C to start the caibration operation. --- is shown on the dispay whie caibration is being performed. When caibration is successfu, the dispay wi show OK and the Digita Compass Mode (with 0 shown as the ange vaue). If --- appears and then changes to ERR (error) on the caibration screen, it means that there is something wrong with the sensor. When ERR disappears after about one second, try performing the caibration again. If ERR keeps appearing, contact your origina deaer or nearest authorized CASIO distributor to have the watch checked. 3

4 Using the Digita Compass Whie Mountain Cimbing or Hiking This section describes three rea-ife situations where you coud use the watch s buit-in digita compass. To set a map and find your current ocation Having an idea of your current ocation is important when mountain cimbing or hiking. To do this, you need to set the map, which means to aign the map so the directions indicated on it are aigned with the actua directions of your ocation. Basicay what you are doing is aigning north on the map with north as indicated by the watch. To find the bearing to an objective To determine the direction ange to an objective on a map and head in that direction To set a map and find your current ocation orth indicated on the map Current ocation orth indicated by north pointer 1. With the watch on your wrist, position it so the face is horizonta. 2. In the Timekeeping, Digita Compass, Barometer/Thermometer, or Atimeter Mode, press C to take a compass reading. The reading wi appear on the dispay after about two seconds. 3. Rotate the map without moving the watch so the northery direction indicated on the map matches north as indicated by the watch. If the watch is configured to indicate magnetic north, aign the map s magnetic north with the watch indication. If the watch has been configured with a decination to correct to true north, aign the map s true north with the watch indication. This wi position the map in accordance with your current ocation. 4. Determine your ocation as you check the geographic contours around you. To find the bearing to an objective 1. Take a compass reading and then set the map so its northery indication is aigned with north Objective Current ocation 12 o cock position as indicated by the watch, and determine your current ocation. See To set a map and find your current ocation for information about how to perform the above step. 2. Set the map so the direction you want to trave on the map is pointed straight in front of you. 3. With the watch on your wrist, position it so the face is horizonta. 4. In the Timekeeping, Digita Compass, Barometer/Thermometer, or Atimeter Mode, press C to take a compass reading. The reading wi appear on the dispay after about two seconds. 5. Sti hoding the map in front of you, turn your body unti north as indicated by the watch and the northery direction on the map are aigned. This wi position the map reative to your current ocation, so the bearing to your objective is straight ahead of you. To determine the direction ange to an objective on a map and head in that direction ote Objective Current ocation 12 o cock position The foowing procedure is possibe ony with a watch that has a rotary beze. 1. Take a compass reading and then set the map so its northery indication is aigned with north as indicated by the watch, and determine your current ocation. See To set a map and find your current ocation for information about how to perform the above step. 2. As shown in the iustration to the eft, change your position so you (and the 12 o cock position of the watch) are pointed in the direction of objective, whie keeping the map aigned with the readings being produced by the watch. If you find it difficut to perform the above step whie keeping everything aigned, first move into the correct position (12 o cock position of the watch pointed at the objective) without worrying about the orientation of the map. ext, perform step 1 again to set the map. 12 o cock position orth pointer Direction ange of current reading 3. In the Timekeeping, Digita Compass, Barometer/Thermometer, or Atimeter Mode, press C to take a compass reading. The compass reading information (ange vaue, direction indicator, and four pointers based on the 12 o cock position of the watch) wi appear on the dispay after about two seconds. The compass reading information wi remain on the dispay for ony about 20 seconds after you press C. After that it wi disappear. If you want to re-dispay the compass reading information, press C again to take another reading. 4. Rotate the beze so the (orth) indicator on the beze is aigned with the north indicator produced by the reading in step To advance to your objective proceed in the direction that 12 o cock is pointing. ote When mountain cimbing or hiking, conditions or geographic contours may make it impossibe for you to advance in a straight ine. If this happens, return to step 1 and save a new direction to the objective. Barometer/Thermometer This watch uses a pressure sensor to measure air pressure (barometric pressure) and a temperature sensor to measure temperature. You can caibrate the pressure sensor and the temperature sensor if you suspect that readings are incorrect. To take barometric pressure and temperature readings Barometric pressure graph Temperature Pressure differentia pointer Barometric pressure Pressing B in the Timekeeping Mode or in any of other sensor modes enters the Barometer/ Thermometer Mode and starts barometric pressure and temperature measurements automaticay. It can take up to four or five seconds for the barometric pressure reading to appear after you enter the Barometer/Thermometer Mode. Barometric pressure is dispayed in units of 1hPa (or 0.05 inhg). The dispayed barometric pressure vaue changes to xxxx hpa (or inhg) if a measured barometric pressure fas outside the range of 260 hpa to 1100 hpa (7.65 inhg to inhg). The barometric pressure vaue wi reappear as soon as the measured barometric pressure is within the aowabe range. Temperature is dispayed in units of 0.1 C (or 0.2 F). The dispayed temperature vaue changes to xxx.x C (or F) if a measured temperature fas outside the range of 10.0 C to 60.0 C (14.0 F to F). The temperature vaue wi reappear as soon as the measured temperature is within the aowabe range. In some areas, barometric pressure is expressed in miibars (mb) instead of hectopascas (hpa). It reay makes no difference, because 1hPa = 1mb. You can seect either hectopascas (hpa) or incheshg (inhg) as the dispay unit for the measured barometric pressure, and Cesius ( C) or Fahrenheit ( F) as the dispay unit for the measured temperature vaue. See To seect the temperature, barometric pressure, and atitude units. See Barometer and Thermometer Precautions for important precautions. Barometric Pressure Graph Barometric pressure indicates changes in the atmosphere. By monitoring these changes you can predict the weather with reasonabe accuracy. This watch takes barometric pressure measurements automaticay every two hours (at the top of each even-numbered hour), regardess of its current mode. Measurement resuts are used to produce barometric pressure graph and barometric pressure differentia pointer readings. The barometric pressure graph shows readings of previous measurements for up to 20 hours. The horizonta axis of the graph represents time, with each dot standing for two hours. The rightmost dot represents the most recent reading. The vertica axis of the graph represents barometric pressure, with each dot standing for the reative difference between its reading and that of the dots next to it. Each dot represents 1hPa. The foowing shows how to interpret the data that appears on the barometric pressure graph. A rising graph generay means improving weather. A faing graph generay means deteriorating weather. 4

5 ote that if there are sudden changes in barometric pressure or temperature, the graph ine of past measurements may run off the top or bottom of the dispay. The entire graph wi become visibe once barometric conditions stabiize. The foowing conditions cause the barometric pressure measurement to be skipped, with the corresponding point on the barometric pressure graph being eft bank. ot visibe on the dispay. Barometric reading that is out of range (260 hpa/mb to 1,100 hpa/mb or 7.65 inhg to inhg) Sensor mafunction Barometric Pressure Differentia Pointer This pointer indicates the reative difference between the most recent barometric pressure reading indicated on the barometric pressure graph, and the current barometric pressure vaue dispayed in the Barometer/ Thermometer Mode. Pressure differentia is indicated in the range of ±5 hpa, in 1-hPa units. The barometric pressure differentia pointer is not dispayed when the dispayed current barometric vaue is outside of the aowabe measurement range (260 to 1,100 hpa). Barometric pressure is cacuated and dispayed using hpa as the standard. The barometric pressure differentia aso can be read in inhg units as shown in the iustration. Barometric pressure differentia Pressure differentia exampes in the iustration are indicated in 3 hpa/0.1 inhg steps. inhg vaues hpa vaues Current pressure greater than most recent measured pressure Current pressure ess than most recent measured pressure About Barometric and Temperature Measurements Barometric pressure and temperature measurement operations are performed as soon as you enter the Barometer/Thermometer Mode. After that, barometric pressure and temperature measurements are taken every five seconds. You aso can perform a barometric pressure and temperature measurement at any time by pressing B in the Barometer/Thermometer Mode. Atimeter The watch s atimeter uses a pressure sensor to detect current air pressure, which is then used to estimate the current atitude based on ISA (Internationa Standard Atmosphere) preset vaues. You aso can specify a reference atitude, which the watch wi use to cacuate your current atitude based on the vaue you specify. Atimeter functions aso incude storage of measurement data in memory. Important! This watch estimates atitude based on air pressure. This means that atitude readings for the same ocation may vary if air pressure changes. The semiconductor pressure sensor used by the watch for atitude measurements aso is affected by temperature. When taking atitude measurements, make sure the watch is not subjected to temperature changes. To avoid the effect of sudden temperature changes during measurement, keep the watch on your wrist in direct contact with your skin. Do not rey upon this watch for atitude measurements or perform button operations whie sky diving, hang giding, or paragiding, whie riding a gyrocopter, gider, or any other aircraft, or whie engaging in any other activity where there is the chance of sudden atitude changes. Do not use this watch for measuring atitude in appications that demand professiona or industria eve precision. Remember that the air inside of a commercia aircraft is pressurized. Because of this, the readings produced by this watch wi not match the atitude readings announced or indicated the fight crew. How the Atimeter Measures Atitude The atimeter can measure atitude based on its own preset vaues, or a reference atitude specified by you. When you measure atitude based on preset vaues Data produced by the watch s barometric pressure sensor is converted to approximate atitude based on ISA (Internationa Standard Atmosphere) conversion vaues stored in watch memory. When you measure atitude using a reference atitude specified by you After you specify a reference atitude, the watch uses that vaue to convert the current measured barometric pressure vaue to atitude. When mountain cimbing, you can set the reference vaue in accordance with a marker B aong the way or atitude information from a map. After that, the atitude readings A produced by the watch wi be more accurate 400 than they woud without a reference atitude. Dispaying Your Current Atitude You can use the procedure described in this section to dispay your current atitude. If you eave the watch in the Atimeter Mode, it wi update the dispayed atitude vaue reguary, and indicate reading-to-reading changes in the atitude graph at the top of the dispay. Important! The procedure in this section simpy dispays vaues indicating your current atitude, without storing them in watch memory. For information about recording atitude readings in watch memory, see Saving Atitude Data. To dispay your current atitude Current atitude Atitude graph Current time 1. Press A in the Timekeeping Mode or in any of the other sensor modes to enter the Atimeter Mode. The watch wi start atitude measurement automaticay, and dispay the resut. It can take up to four or five seconds for the atitude reading to appear after you enter the Atimeter Mode. 2. Leave the watch in the Atimeter Mode if you want the dispayed atitude vaue and the atitude graph contents to be updated at reguar intervas. Readings are taken at five-second intervas for the first three minutes after you enter the Atimeter Mode. After that, readings are taken at twominute intervas. If you want to restart the atitude measurement operation at any point, press A. 3. To stop the atitude measurement operation, press D to exit the Atimeter Mode. otes ormay, dispayed atitude vaues are based on the watch s preset conversion vaues. You aso can specify a reference atitude, if you want. See Specifying a Reference Atitude. Atitude is dispayed in units of 5 meters (20 feet). The measurement range for atitude is 700 to 10,000 meters ( 2,300 to 32,800 feet). The measured atitude may be a negative vaue in cases where there is a reference atitude vaue set or because of certain atmospheric conditions. The dispayed atitude vaue changes to xxxx meters (or feet) if a measured atitude fas outside the measurement range. The atitude vaue wi be dispayed again as soon as the measured atitude is within the aowabe range. You can change the measurement unit for dispayed atitude vaues to either meters (m) or feet (ft). See To seect the temperature, barometric pressure, and atitude units. Saving Atitude Data The watch automaticay keeps track of the high atitude achieved to date. You aso can save atitude readings with the touch of a button. You can reca and view atitude data using the Data Reca Mode. For detais, see Recaing Atitude Data. Automatic High Atitude Record Whenever an atitude measurement in the Atimeter Mode is greater than the currenty stored high atitude vaue, the watch wi repace the od vaue with the new measurement automaticay, aong with the reading date and time. This feature is aways enabed and cannot be turned off. If the current reading is the same as the existing high atitude vaue, the oder vaue wi be retained. Saving an Atitude Reading Perform the foowing procedure whenever you want to save an atitude reading. To save an atitude reading 1. Press A to enter the Atimeter Mode. 2. Hod down A unti REC fashes on the dispay. At this time the watch wi beep and the current atitude reading vaue wi be saved aong with the reading date (month - day) and time. 3. REC wi stop fashing and the watch wi return to the Atimeter Mode automaticay after data save is compete. Memory can store up to 24 atitude records. Storing a new reading whie there are aready 24 in memory wi deete the odest record currenty in memory to make room for the new reading. 5

6 Specifying a Reference Atitude After you specify a reference atitude, the watch adjusts its air-pressure-toatitude conversion cacuation accordingy. The atitude measurements produced by this watch are subject to error caused by changes in air pressure.
