Module No. 5713

Recording Altitude Readings

Use the procedure below to record altitude measurements manually. Auto measurements are also recorded automatically.

Use the Altitude Record Recall Mode to view or delete records.

Recording Altitude Data Manually

  1. Enter the Altimeter Mode.

  2. Hold down (A) for at least two seconds until [REC] appears on the display.

  3. This records the current altitude, date, and time.

    There is enough memory to hold up to 30 altitude records.

    Recording altitude data when there are already 30 records in memory automatically deletes the oldest record to make room for the new one.

    5713_59_ALTI

Note

If Mission Log is disabled, the watch will automatically return to normal Altimeter Mode operation following recording of altitude data.

If Mission Log is enabled and altitude data is recorded, the watch will connect with the phone and transfer the data to it.
When a connection between the watch and phone is established, [REC] changes to [OK], and the second hand moves from [RC] to BLE_mark.

5713_60_fl_ALTI

[ERR] will appear on the display if connection fails for some reason.

Auto Altitude Data Recording

The altitude data described below is recorded automatically while the watch is in the Altimeter Mode. One record each is maintained in memory for each of these items.

Graph_ALTI_Min_Max_BK

High Altitude (MAX): Num_circle_5

Low Altitude (MIN): Num_circle_6

Cumulative Ascent (ASC): Num_circle_1+Num_circle_3*

Cumulative Descent (DSC): Num_circle_2+Num_circle_4*

Cumulative ascent and cumulative descent values are updated whenever there is a difference of at least ±15 m (±49 feet) from one reading to the next.

Note

Auto recording ends when you exit the Altimeter Mode. Re-entering the Altimeter Mode restarts recording of cumulative values from where it was stopped when you last exited the Altimeter Mode.

Auto measurement continues if you go from the Altimeter Mode to another mode while Mission Log is enabled.

Every time an auto measurement operation is performed while Mission Log is enabled, the watch checks the currently saved values of the following data items and updates them as required: MAX, MIN, ASC, DSC.

[ERR] will appear on the display if connection fails for some reason.
