Calibrating Altitude Readings

There are two settings for calibrating altitude readings: “Altitude Calibration” and “Correct Altitude Using Location” (when connected to an Android smartphone only).

Altitude Calibration

You can lessen error in the altitude readings displayed by the watch by manually inputting accurate local altitude and elevation values. You can find out the elevation at your current location from signs, maps, on the Internet, etc. While mountain climbing, it is highly recommended that you make a habit of regularly comparing altitude readings produced by the watch with locally available elevation indications, and of performing this procedure as required.

Correct Altitude Using Location

Select “ON” for this setting to have altitude readings corrected automatically in accordance with your smartphone’s GPS information. “OFF” must be selected for this setting to perform altitude calibration manually.

To perform altitude reading calibration manually

1.What you should do first depends on whether you are starting from a CASIO app or watch face that displays altitude.

  • From a CASIO Watch Face:
    While the “Altitude”, “Authentic”, “Field”, “Multi”, or “Combination” watch face is displayed, hold your finger on the touch screen for about two seconds until the watch face compresses in size.
  • From the TOOL App or Activity App:
    While either app is running, swipe the touch screen from right to left until the “Settings” screen is displayed.

2.Tap icon_SmartPuls_settings. On the setting menu that appears, tap “Correct Altitude Using Location” to toggle its setting between “ON” and “OFF”. Make sure you change this setting to “OFF”.

  • Note that the operations from step 3 onwards are impossible while “ON” is selected for the “Correct Altitude Using Location” setting.

3.On the setting menu, tap “Altitude Calibration”.

4.On the altitude input screen that appears, input the elevation at your current location (which you obtained from local indications).

  • Tap the digit of the value that you want to change, and then tap icon_ft_btn_inc_WSDF10 or icon_ft_btn_dec_WSDF10 to change it.

5.After the value is the way you want, swipe the touch screen from left to right to return to the setting menu.

6.To close the setting menu, swipe the touch screen from left to right.
