To set a reference altitude
1. In the Altimeter Mode, hold down
E
until
SET
appears in the upper display area.
2. Release
E
, and wait for four or five more
seconds until either
OFF
or the current
reference altitude value (if set) start to flash.
This is the setting screen.
3. Press
C
(+) or
A
(–) to change the current
reference altitude value by 5 meters (or 20 feet).
•
You can set the reference altitude within the
range of –10,000 to 10,000 meters (–32,800
to 32,800 feet).
•
Pressing
A
and
C
at the same time returns to
OFF
(no reference
altitude), so the watch performs air pressure to altitude conversions
based on preset data only.
4. Press
E
to exit the setting screen.

Altitude graph
The altitude graph shows Altimeter Mode
measurement results.
•
The vertical axis of the graph represents
altitude, and each dot stands for 10 meters (40
feet).
•
The horizontal axis represents time, and the flashing dot in the rightmost
column indicates the latest measurement result. For the first three minutes,
each dot represents five seconds. After that, each dot represents two
minutes.
•
An out of range measurement result or a measurement error will cause the
column of dots for that measurement to be blank (skipped).
Altitude Differential Pointer
While a measurement operation is being performed in the Altimeter Mode, the
altitude differential pointer indicates the difference between the current
altitude and the last measured altitude.

Altitude differential pointer
•
Altitude differential is indicated in the range of
±
15 meters, in 1-meter units.
•
Altitude is calculated and displayed using meters as the standard. Altitude
can also be read in feet units as shown in the illustration.
To turn display of the altitude differential pointer on and off
1. In the Altimeter Mode, hold down
E
until
SET
appears in the upper display area.
2. Release
E
, and wait for four or five more
seconds until either
OFF
or the current
reference altitude value (if set) start to flash.
This is the setting screen.
3. Press
D
twice to display the pointer on/off
setting screen.
4. Press
C
to toggle display of the altitude
differential pointer on (
ON
displayed) and off
(
OFF
displayed).
5. When the setting is the way you want, press
E
to exit the setting screen.

Altitude Alarm
The altitude alarm sounds for about five seconds when the current altitude
matches a preset value during an altitude measurement operation. You can
press any button to stop the alarm after it starts to sound.
The altitude alarm sounds only while the Altimeter Mode’s Altitude Screen is
on the display. It does not sound while the watch is in another mode or while
another Altimeter Mode screen is on the display.
Example
If you set the altitude alarm at 130 meters, it sounds when you pass the 130-
meter mark on your way up and on your way back down.
To set the altitude alarm
1. In the Altimeter Mode, hold down
E
until
SET
appears in the upper display area.
2. Release
E
, and wait for four or five more
seconds until either
OFF
or the current
reference altitude value (if set) start to flash.
This is the setting screen.
3. Press
D
once to display the altitude alarm
setting.
4. Press
C
(+) or
A
(–) to change the current
altitude alarm value by 5 meters (or 20 feet).
•
You can set the altitude alarm value within
the range of –10,000 to 10,000 meters
(–32,800 to 32,800 feet).
•
Pressing
A
and
C
at the same time resets
the altitude alarm value to
O
.

mode.
Altitude Data Recall
Use the Data Recall Mode to view altitude periodic records currently in
memory, as well as the current session record and the altitude historical
record. Altitude data records are created and stored in the Altimeter Mode.
Data Screens
The following explains the contents of each of the screens that appear in the
Data Recall Mode.
Note
•
While the periodic record, high altitude, or low altitude screen is displayed,
the bottom part of the display alternates between the measurement date
(month and day) and measurement time at 1-second intervals.
