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
Altitude Differential
You also can use the Altimeter Mode to measure the altitude differential
from a specific reference altitude. Specifying the point is as simple as
pressing a single button to reset the current reference altitude value to zero.
Altitude differential measurement is performed each time the watch performs
an altitude measurement.
•
You can perform altitude differential measurement only whenever you select
format number 3 or 4 as the Altimeter Mode display format.
•
The range of the altitude differential value is –3,000 meters (–9,980 feet) to
3,000 meters (9,980 feet).
•
“
-- -- --
” is displayed in place of the altitude differential value whenever the
measured value is outside the allowable range.
•
The watch will assume that the reference altitude setting is zero for the first
measurement after you exit the Altimeter Mode setting screen.
•
See “Using Altitude Differential Measurement While Mountain Climbing or
Hiking” for some real-life examples of how to use this feature.
To reset the altitude differential value to zero
In the Altimeter Mode, press
A
.
•
This will start altitude measurement. The
altitude differential value will show
0
after
measurement is complete.
•
You must perform altitude differential
measurement whenever you select format
number 3 or 4 as the Altimeter Mode display
format.
Using Altitude Differential Measurement While Mountain
Climbing or Hiking
After you zero reset the reference altitude value at a particular location while
mountain climbing or hiking, you easily can measure the change in the
altitude between that point and another point.
Altitude differential
To use altitude differential measurement
1. In the Altimeter Mode, check to make sure
that the display shows the altitude differential
value.
•
If the altitude differential value is not
displayed, use the procedure under “To
select an Altimeter Mode display format” to
select display format 3 or 4.
2. Use the contour lines on your map to
determine the difference in altitude between
your current location and your destination.
3. In the Altimeter Mode, press
A
to take an
altitude reading.
•
This causes the altitude differential value to
appear at the top of the display.

4. While monitoring the difference between the
altitude you found on the map and the altitude
differential value displayed by the watch,
advance towards your destination.
•
If you determined that the difference between
the map altitude and your current location is
+80 meters, for example, you are approaching
your destination when the displayed altitude
differential value shows +80 meters.

Recalling Altitude Data
You can use the Data Recall Mode to the view periodic records and current
session record that are in watch memory. 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.

Periodic Records
Periodic records show only data for the last save session performed with the
watch. There can be up to 40 periodic records in memory.
Current Session Record Contents
The following data items show the contents of the current session record.

To view periodic records and current session record contents
1. Enter the Data Recall Mode.
2. Use
D
and
B
to scroll through the data and display the one you want.
•
To view the current session record contents, use
D
to scroll forward
past the last periodic record (which will display the current session
record
MAX
screen), or
B
to scroll back past the first periodic record
(to the
DSC
screen).
3. After you are finished viewing data, press
C
to exit the Data Recall Mode.
•
Dashes (

) will be displayed if there is no corresponding data due to
error, etc. In such cases, total ascent (
ASC
) and total descent (
DSC
)
values will show zero.

When the total ascent (

World Time
World Time displays the current time in 30 cities
(29 time zones) around the world.
•
If the current time shown for a city is wrong,
check your Home City time settings and make
the necessary changes.
•
For full information on city codes, see the “City
Code Table”.
•
All of the operations in this section are
performed in the World Time Mode, which you
enter by pressing
C
.
To view the time in another city
In the World Time Mode, use
D
(east) and
B
(west) to scroll through city codes (time zones).
•
When the currently selected time zone is one
that includes mostly ocean, a value indicating
the zone’s Greenwich Mean Time differential
appears in place of a city code.

To toggle a city code time between Standard Time and Daylight
Saving Time
1. In the World Time Mode, use
D
(east) and
B
(west) to display the city code (time zone)
whose Standard Time/Daylight Saving Time
setting you want to change.
2. Hold down
A
to toggle between Daylight
Saving Time (
DST
indicator displayed) and
Standard Time (
DST
indicator not displayed).
•
The
DST
indicator appears on the display
whenever you display a city code for which
Daylight Saving Time is turned on.
•
You cannot toggle between Daylight Saving Time and Standard Time if the
displayed city code is
GMT
.
•
Note that the DST/Standard Time setting affects only the currently
displayed city code. Other city codes are not affected.
