Using the Altitude Alarm
The altitude alarm sounds for five seconds when the measured altitude value is in excess of a preset target altitude. Note that the altitude
alarm is enabled in the Altitude Mode only.
Example: If the target altitude value is 130 meters, the alarm will sound when either of the following conditions is met.
•
When you reach 130 meters when ascending from 0 meters.
•
When you reach 130 meters when descending from 300 meters.

Altitude Memory
Altitude memory stores up to 40 altitude records when you perform altitude recording. Each record includes the date, time, and altitude.
Other items stored in memory are high altitude, low altitude, total ascent, total descent, and relative altitude.
•
Altitude recording takes readings every 15 minutes (00, 15, 30, 45 minutes of each hour) and stores them in memory.
•
Starting a new altitude recording operation automatically clears any existing altitude records in memory to make room for the new readings.
•
The watch stops altitude recording automatically after the 40th record is stored.
•
Altitude recording continues to be performed even if you change to another mode. The “REC” indicator flashes on the display while altitude
recording is in progress.
High altitude, low altitude, total ascent, and total descent values over time can also be accumulated in a separate memory area.
•
The total ascent and total descent values are continually accumulated in the range of 0 to 99,995 meters.

•
High altitude, low altitude, total ascent, total descent, and relative
altitude values are updated when altitude readings are taken
every five seconds during the first three minutes after entering the
Altitude Mode, and the subsequent readings taken every two
minutes.
