Watch Features
Time of Day
• Displays hours ,minutes and seconds in 12- or 24-hour
format for two time zones .
• Displays month and date ,as well as day of the week.
• Optional hourly chime .
Altimeter•Reports altitude from -2296 to 29,520 feet (-700 to
9000 meters) with 10 ft or 5 m resolution.
• Displays current altitude as well as a gr aph of altitude
change over time .
• Displays accumulated total of all altitude gains ,known
as  “total ascent” or  “climb”.
• Records highest altitude achieved.
•...

Chronograph•Time events up to 24 hours with 1/100-second
resolution.
• Store up to 30 lap/split times .
• View stored lap times as well as best (shortest) lap
time ,aver age lap time and total event time .
Count Down Timer•Time events up to 24 hours .An alert is gener ated
when the timer reaches zero .
• Timer can be set to count down to zero once or to
repeat the countdown indefinitely .
Alarm•Five independent daily alarms ,each with a five-minute
backup alert.
Barometer• Reports air pressure from 8.85...

TIMER - The Countdown  Timer is useful for timing 
fixed-time events
ALARM - Five daily alarms to keep you on time
TIP: Press and hold the MODE button for three seconds to
go directly to  TIME mode from any other mode in the
watch.
Button FunctionsThe buttons on your watch are multi-functional, serving
two main purposes - enabling you to perform everyday
functions like checking the time and timing a workout,
and setting things like  Time of Day or an Alarm.

Setting Operation
When setting Time of Day,Alarms or the Countdown  Timer
and so on, the button functions change from what is print -
ed on the case .
NO TE: These setting functions are the same in any mode
where you can set a value .
1. Press and hold the  SETbutton. While you are holding
the button, “HOLD ADJUST” will appear on the display .
2. After a couple of seconds ,the  “HOLD” message will
disappear followed by a flashing value .
3. Change the flashing value by pressing either

Notes on calibrating the Altimeter and BarometerThe watch relies on a sensitive electronic sensor to
measure the air pressure and temper ature.This sensor
must be calibr ated periodically to maintain the high degree
of accur acy you expect from the watch.
What is calibration?
“Calibr ation”is simply a technique to improve the accur a-
cy of the pressure/temperature sensor ,primarily by com -
pensating for local temper ature and weather effects.The
watch employs two related methods of calibr ation,using...

reference source available.
F or example ,if you are standing at a tr ail head and know
the correct altitude ,then the most accur ate calibration will
be obtained by calibr ating within ALTI mode (since it relies
on altitude as the reference). However,if you don’t know
your altitude ,you can find out the current sea level pres -
sure (published online or in a newspaper) and calibr ate the
sensor within BARO mode . For example ,the U .S.weather
service publishes the sea-level pressure for all of its...
