Note: In order for the HRM feature to be activated the user must be wearing the transmitter belt around his/her chest. The
HRM indicator in the lower right section of the LCD flashes according to the measured heart rate (beats/minute). Refer
to Section 2 Heart Rate Monitor for details in setting and activiting this feature.
When wearing the belt, the current time can be viewed for 10 seconds by pressing the [+] button. If the belt is not worn,
the current time is shown on the bottom row (Field 3), in place of the heart rate.
IMPORTANT NOTE: In order to set the altitude in the Altimeter mode, the altitude must be known. That information can
be found by utilizing a topographical map identifying the current location with the associated altitude marked. The user
can then proceed and follow the instructions, setting the altimeter, provided in the section below.
DETAILS REGARDING THE EFFECT OF AIR TEMPERATURE ON ALTITUDE MEASUREMENT ARE SHOWN
ON PAGE 51 OF THIS GUIDE.
IF THE ALTITUDE IS NOT KNOWN, THE USER CAN SET THE SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IN THE BAROMETER
MODE (refer to page 40, Setting the Sea Level Pressure).
SETTING THE SEA LEVEL PRESSURE WILL ADJUST THE ALTIMETER TO THE CURRENT ALTITUDE WITHIN
APPROXIMATELY TEN METERS OR 30 ft. A 1-mbar CHANGE RESULTS APPROXIMATELY AN 8-METER (OR 26
ft) CHANGE IN ALTITUDE, AND A 0,05 inHG CHANGE RESULTS A 45 ft. CHANGE IN ALTITUDE.
INFORMATION ON THE CURRENT SEA LEVEL PRESSURE CAN BE OBTAINED THROUGH NEWSPAPERS,
LOCAL NEWS AND RADIO WEATHER REPORTS, THE LOCAL AIRPORT FACILITY OR THROUGH THE
INTERNET UNDER LOCAL WEATHER.
