Primary Modes of Operation: ALTIMETER
NOTE: To ensure accurate ALTIMETER mode information is displayed, please follow the SETTING instructions
(see Secondary Modes of Operations: SET).
- From TIME mode, PRESS ALTI to enter ALTIMETER mode.
NOTE: The timer in the bottom of the screen displays the total
amount of time that the watch has been in ALTI mode. The watch
will automatically reset this timer to zero if you exit ALTI mode
(press a button to exit ALTI mode) or once the watch automatically
defaults back to TIME mode (after 24 hours).
ALTIMETER LOG OPERATION (RECORD):
The Altimeter Data Log allows you to manually record up to 50 data files
and automatically record up to 30 data files. To review the recorded
altimeter data files, see Secondary Modes of Operations: RECORD.
NOTE: The data files operate on a first in, first out platform. If more
than 50 manual files or 30 automatic files are recorded, the oldest
files will be deleted.
MANUAL RECORDINGS:
When a data file is manually recorded, the altitude,
time and date (at the time of the recording) will be
saved. Manual recordings can be taken (in ALTI mode)
at any time, and the recordings can be viewed afterwards in
Secondary Modes of Operations: RECORD
AUTOMATIC RECORDINGS:
Automatic recordings are saved only when the watch is kept in ALTIMETER mode during an activity.
Example: You are going for a 2 hour hike and you want the altimeter data recorded for the duration. When you start
hiking, make sure your watch is in ALTIMETER mode. Every ten minutes, the watch will automatically record the time
and date, minimum and maximum altitude and total ascent and descent (at the time of the recording). When the 2 hour
hike is over, simply PRESS the MODE button and the data will be saved.
NOTE: The data is recorded every ten minutes and the watch will store up to 5 hours worth of data (30 automatic logs).
The stored data can be viewed in Secondary Modes of Operations: RECORD
Remember: The data recordings operate on a first in, first out platform, so if your activity is over 5 hours long, the
earliest data will be replaced by new data.
NOTE: If your ASC / DSC totals 99,999 ft (30,480 m), the automatic data recording will reset to zero.
Primary Modes of Operation: BAROMETER

Warnings & Cautions
PLEASE READ all information in this instruction manual before using this unit.
Please keep in mind, your watch is a sensitive technical instrument. With proper care and maintenance, it will last for many
years. However, improper care and handling can cause the various sensors to be damaged and will harm the functioning
capabilities.
WARNING: This product is NOT designed to be used as a PRIMARY altitude instrument for flying, skydiving, hang gliding or
other sports where sudden significant changes in altitude may occur or when there is a need for industrial precision.
WARNING: This product is an advanced training and fitness tool. Before starting any exercise program,
we strongly suggest you visit your doctor for a complete physical and to discuss your exercise plans.
NEVER push the buttons underwater, when the watch is wet or when you are cleaning or rinsing the unit.
You are actually pushing water inside the watch.
DO NOT use the watch in a hot tub or extremely hot shower/bath. High temperatures and steam can damage the rubber seals.
DO NOT expose the watch to sudden changes of temperature by going from a hot tub to cold water.
This can make the rubber seals contract and allow water to penetrate.
DO NOT wear the watch in soapy dish water or bubble baths.The alkali contained in soaps can damage the rubber seals.
DO NOT use cleaning solvents to clean your watch. Solvents WILL damage the integrity of the plastic.
The watch can be wiped clean with a lightly moistened cloth.
ALWAYS rinse the watch with clear tap water after exposure to salt water.
Salt is highly corrosive and can damage both the rubber seals and the watch case.
PROTECT the watch from extreme heat, shocks and excessive exposure to direct sunlight.
NEVER expose the watch to strong chemicals such as gasoline, cleaning solvents, acetone, alcohol, insect
repellent, sunscreen and other toiletries, as they may damage the unit.
KEEP the unit out of the reach of children and pets. The unit contains small parts that might be swallowed.
Battery Information:
Signs of a failing / dying battery are a fading or blank display (especially when the backlight is active) and/or inaccurate readings.
- Using a coin, remove the battery coin hatch. Remove the old CR2032 battery & replace it with a new CR2032 battery. Be
sure the battery is in the correct polarity position – positive (+) side of the battery is visible. Replace the battery coin hatch
carefully; ensure the coin hatch is properly replaced or the water resistance will be affected and could VOID THE
WARRANTY.
NOTE: Keep watch batteries away from children and pets.
NOTE: This product contains a button-cell battery. If swallowed, contact a physician immediately; severe damage or death may occur.
NOTE: Watch batteries contain chemical substances. Dispose of the watch, battery and all components according to local regulations.
Unlawful disposal can contribute to environmental pollution.
NOTE: Do not place battery in fire; the battery may explode.
NOTE: Special handling may apply. See www:dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate.
BE AWARE: Lithium batteries of the type used in this unit are very susceptible to improper storage. Many times, batteries purchased as
new are dead or weak before they are purchased. If you try a new battery and problems persist, please try a second battery from
another source, just to be certain.

In ALTI mode, QUICK PRESS ALTI
to toggle from CURRENT ALTITUDE
to RELATIVE ALTITUDE display. The
RELATIVE ALTITUDE display shows
the ascent / descent difference from
your current altitude at the time that
you entered the RELATIVE display.
NOTE: Once you exit the RELATIVE
display, the ascent / descent values
will reset to zero and the difference
displayed will start from the moment
you re-enter the RELATIVE display.
This function can be used to show
ALTITUDE ascent / descent during
such activities as skiing / snowboarding
or climbing / hiking.
EXAMPLE: Once you reach the top of
a ski run, enter the RELATIVE display
and ski downhill. Once you reach the
bottom of the run, you can see the total
descent value for that run.
