Before Getting Started...

This section provides an overview of the watch and introduces convenient ways it can be used.

Important!

This watch is not a special-purpose measuring instrument. Measurement function readings are intended for general reference only.

Whenever using the Digital Compass of this watch for serious trekking, mountain climbing, or other activities, be sure to always take along another compass to confirm readings. If the readings produced by the Digital Compass of this watch are different from those of the other compass, perform figure 8 calibration or 2-point calibration of the watch compass to ensure better accuracy.

Compass readings and calibration will not be possible if the watch is in the vicinity of a permanent magnet (magnetic accessory, etc.), metal objects, high-voltage wires, aerial wires, or electrical household appliances (TV, computer, cellphone, etc.)

Digital Compass

The watch’s altimeter function calculates and displays relative altitude based on barometric pressure readings produced by its pressure sensor. Because of this, altitude values displayed by the watch may be different from your actual elevation and/or sea level elevation indicated for the area where you are located. Regular calibration in accordance with the local altitude (elevation) indications is recommended.
