To set the Upper, Lower UV Index Alarm and 
calibrate the UV Index, press and hold the [mode] 
button for about 2 seconds to select the setting 
display. 

!

When the '

LO

' indicator appear: Press the 

[start/stop] or [lap/reset] button to select the 
Lower UV Index Alarm setting among 0 to 25 
(select ' -- '  to turn OFF the alarm) by scrolling of 
1 (hold down the button to scroll the setting faster).

!

When the '

HI

' indicator appear: Press the 

[start/stop] or [lap/reset] button to select the 
Upper UV Index Alarm setting among 0 to 25 
(select ' -- '  to turn OFF the alarm) by scrolling of 
1 (hold down the button to scroll the setting faster).

Note: 

To control the UV exposure by a two-level 

alarm, set a smaller value (for example: 6) for the 
Lower UV Index Alarm, and set a larger value (for 
example: 10) for the Upper Index Alarm. 

!

When the above settings finished, either press 
and hold the [mode] button for about 2 seconds 
to exit the setting sequence or press the [mode] 
button once to calibrate the UV Index.

!

To calibrate the UV Index, check the coming

!

 

DO NOT attempt to calibrate the UV index unless 
you have the following items to determine the 
Calibration Factor (CAL):
1) Standard UV generator or 
2) Correct immediate local UV Index 
DO NOT use the UV Index broadcasted by the 
local weather station as the correct UV index, it 
may NOT the correct one at your place when you 
calibrating your Watch, 

this

 is because:

1) Weather stations usually broadcast the 15-

minute mean UV Index to public. It is different 
from the instantaneous UV radiation that your 
Watch is now sensing. 

2) Cloud condition affects UV Index. Hence, the 

UV Index at your location may not 

be 

identical to

 the one at weather station if the two

cloud 

conditions are not alike.

Check the coming 

'5.9 To Determine the 

Calibration Factor (CAL)' 

Sections for more detail 

on how to determine CAL.

D

etermine 

the 

CAL by using the following rules:

1)Correct UV Index: The UV index produced 

by a standard UV generator or other similar 
means.

2)Exhibited UV Index: The UV Index exhibited by 

the Watch when it is exposed to the previous  
standard UV generator.

3)ADJ: The percentage change of UV Index. 

Hence ADJ = ((Correct UV Index - Exhibited  
UV index) / Exhibited UV index) X 100%

4)Calibration Factor (CAL): The value that to be 

selected for the calibration. CAL= 25 + ADJ.

Example 1: 

To adjust the UV Index from 4.8 

(Exhibited UV index) to 4.0 (Correct UV Index). 

!

ADJ = ((4.0 - 4.8) / 4.8) X 100 = -17; 

!

CAL= 25 + ADJ; 

!

Hence, CAL=25 -17 = 8.

Example 2: 

To adjust the UV Index from 7.8 

(Exhibited UV index)  to 8.0 (Correct UV Index). 

!

ADJ = ((8.0 - 7.8) / 7.8) X 100 =  3;

!

CAL= 25 + ADJ; 

!

Hence, CAL=25 +3 = 28.

To resume the Watch to its original setting 
for sensing UV radiation, select the default 
value (25) as the CAL during the calibration.

!

To prevent user getting UV over-exposure, this 

Watch includes two UV Index Alarms. They are 
the Upper UV Index Alarm and Lower UV Index 
Alarm. 

!

These UV Index Alarms can be set separately by 

the user. Check the coming 

'5.7 Setting the Upper 

and Lower UV Index Alarms'

 Section for more 

detail on how to set the UV Index Alarms.

When one UV Index Alarm has been set, the 

corresponding bar segment will be flashing on

In all of the modes: Whenever the Current UV 

Index is equal to or larger than the Upper or
