Tracking my elevation
Stairs climbed are tracked via an altimeter. The altimeter measures changes in
atmospheric pressure (which changes as you gain or lose elevation) to track
your elevation. In order for ScanWatch to measure elevation, you must both walk
forward and up. Climbing a ladder or using an elevator, for instance, will not result
in elevation being tracked, while walking up a hill, will.
Note :
• 3 meters is equivalent to 1 floor.
• Since atmospheric pressure is used to measure elevation, when using
stationary equipment such as a treadmill or a stair-climbing machine, elevation
will not be measured as there is no change in atmospheric pressure.
Important information concerning elevation issues :
• The altimeter sensor is a hole next to the side button of the watch. Inserting an
object into the sensor can damage it.
• If there is water into the hole, the altimeter can be disrupted.
• The altimeter only activates if steps are detected. An interruption of these
steps can cause a slight difference of floors climbed.
