How is the compass calibrated?
Press and hold
SEL
to enter calibration mode.
Press
SET
to start the calibration. The display
will show two rotating arrows. Hold the watch
on a level plane (in sufficient distance to metal
objects, electrical or electronic devices,
computers and power lines) and slowly turn it
clockwise twice
. The turns do not need to
be perfect but should be performed at a
constant speed. Each turn may not take less
than 20 seconds and may not take longer
than 60 seconds. Complete the calibration immediately after performing the turns by
pressing
SET
.
Incorrectly performing the calibration can result in faulty measurements. When
encountering "suspicious" or incorrect readings, the calibration should be repeated.
Entering the deviation (declination) to the geographical North Pole
This deviation results from the calculable difference between the magnetic North
Pole and the geographical North Pole as used on maps. The local deviation is
printed on the border of geographical maps (the deviation depends on the latitude).
It is shown as a positive east value (E) or a negative west value (W). When using the
map to navigate to a target, the direction to the target must be adjusted on the map.
This is done by subtracting the positive value or adding the negative value to the
shown value.
Press and hold
SET
to enter the declination mode.
Immediately after entering the setting mode for the
declination, the letter "E" (for east) will blink on the
display. Press
SEL
to select E or W (for west). Press
SET
to confirm your selection.
The degree digits will blink on the display. Press
SEL
to enter the declination and
press
SET
to confirm your setting.
Because the entered values directly influence the directional indication, they must be
activated by pressing
SEL
to select "
ON
" or „
OFF
“. Confirm your selection by
pressing
SET
.

Exit setting mode by pressing
MODE
.
The following examples may help to explain the effect of the deviation:
The direction shown on the display is N10° (10 degrees north).
Entering an east deviation (E) of 30 degrees will change the directional indication to
NE (north-east) 40 degrees.
Entering a west deviation (W) of 30 degrees will change the directional indication
to NW (north-west) 340 degrees.
Altimeter (ALTI)
(-999 m - +9999 m / -2999 ft - +29999 ft)
Please note:
Your altitude is determined by measuring
atmospheric air pressure. The shown value can vary by up to
50 m because of changing weather- regardless of a change
in location.
We recommend that, before use, the altitude value should be
set with the sports watch on your wrist. Then wait for a few
minutes so that the value can stabilize.
Select the feature by pressing
MODE
repeatedly. Press
SEL
to select the different
sub-features.
Altimeter (ALTI) > maximum altitude memory (HIGH) > minimum altitude memory
(LOW) > total altitude gain (UP) > total altitude loss (DOWN) > number of hills
(HILL) > memory (RECORD).
Height
Press
SEL
to select the sub-feature (ALTI).
Press and hold
SET
for 3 seconds to enter setting mode. Enter the
desired value by pressing
SEL
and confirm your setting by pressing
SET
.
Exit setting mode by pressing
MODE
.
