There is a direct proportion between atmospheric pressure and altitude. The benchmark sea level (0 elevation) has a pressure of inhgl. At other altitudes, there is more or less pressure. The pressure sensor measures atmospheric pressure and then determines the proper altitude. Note: Changes in weather create high and low pressure events that can skew altitude readings. This WILL OCCUR. When it does, you will need to set a reference altitude. See section 9.2 or Altimeter Mode Display Access the Altimeter Mode display See fig. 30 Display Features: * Top Row: Altitude datachange in altitude, total ascent, total descent, altitude graph and current temperature. * Press to scroll through data * Middle Row: Current Altitude fig 30 * Bottom Row: Current time fig. 29

27 9.2 Set a Reference Altitude Setting a reference altitude is key to ensuring accurate readings. Changes in air pressure skew altimeter readings.

Dif.

28 * Press ESC to exit Altimeter set menu Press in the Altimeter Mode Display to see the altitude difference calculator s measurements Note: The altitude difference calculator is not a measure of total ascent or descent but strictly the net difference between the altitude in which it was last cleared and the current altitude. Example: You clear the altitude difference calculator at the beginning of a hike. The altitude is 1000 ft. at the time it's cleared. Then you descend 500 ft., after a mile you ascend 2000 ft. Later, you descend another 1000 ft. to finish the hike. At this point, the altitude difference calculator will read -500 ft. (the total difference between the starting altitude = 1000 ft. and current altitude = 500 ft.) even though you have ascended 2000 ft and descended 1500 ft. 9.4 Start the Ascent / Descent Calculator The watch has an auto ascent and descent calculator that keeps track of the total vertical distance you have ascended and descended. This measures all vertical travel, not just the difference between two points. Example: In the course of a day hike, you ascend 500 ft. and descend 1500 ft. You then scale a steep 3000 ft. incline. To end your hike, you descend 2500 ft. back your start. Your total ascent is 3500 ft. and your total descent is 4000 ft. Together, they represent the total of vertical travel.

40 15.0 Troubleshooting Speed & Distance measurements are off You will achieve the most accurate results by properly setting up a personal profile Match the sensitivity or sleep timer to your personal stride and schedule The watch is most accurate when you maintain a steady running or walking pace. Your stride lengths should be measured using the same pace that you use when running or walking The watch does not read the correct altitude All altitude readings are based on measured atmospheric pressure. The relationship between pressure and altitude is: At higher altitudes there is less/ lower, atmospheric pressure. At lower altitudes there is more/higher, atmospheric pressure. Sea level is the benchmark altitude/ pressure in which inhg is the pressure at 0 ft in elevation. Changes in weather create high and low pressures. The pressure sensor is unable to distinguish between the changes in pressure caused by weather or altitude. Therefore, the watch may display an altitude reading that is higher/lower than actual. This can be mitigated by using the altimeter/ barometer lock feature and turning off the sensor when not in use. Barometric pressure reading is incorrect If you believe that the pressure reading of your watch is incorrect, adjust it. See section 8.2. The compass isn t accurate Make sure that you have set the correct angle of declination Make sure that the watch is well away from magnetic interference Keep the watch parallel to the horizon The Temperature reading isn t accurate Body heat may skew measurements. For more accurate results, remove the watch from your wrist and allow it to acclimate for 5 minutes. The Heart Rate doesn't read or is too slow Ensure good, firm contact between your skin and the sensors. Possible causes: Dry skin or excessive hair on your chest Lotions or creams often insulate and inhibit the sensor The watch cannot provide reliable readings for those with arrhythmia - Irregular heart beat Low battery Interference from RF devices Interference from static electricity generated when wearing synthetic fabrics.
