Important information
The iClimber is a high quality measuring device with several functions that you
can influence and also some that can not be influenced because they run in the
background (e.g. pressure measurement). Please be aware that active use of
each additional function requires energy and therewith battery. Often activating
the backlight, using the Key-Tone or compass for bearings also draws power
from the battery and this has a direct influence on the battery life.
If you are going on an expedition during which you will be intensely using the
watch and exposing yourself and your equipment to very cold temperatures we
strongly recommend taking along replacement batteries (Type CR2032).
The watch battery, if the watch is simply used as a wristwatch, has a lifetime of
up to one year. The repeated use of several functions can reduce the battery
lifetime by a few months!
