HOW TO OFFSET
TEMPERATURE READOUT
The temperature sensor is located
on top of the watch below the
display. The sensor reads ambient
temprature, which is an average of
body, air or water temperature.
The concept of offsetting can be
best explained with an example.
Wear the watch on your wrist and
wait for at least 10 minutes until the
sensor factors out your body heat.If
the temperature reads 10 ºF above
the mercury thermometer then this
means that your body (and other
internal watch components) causes
the watch to be10 ºF warmer. 10ºF
is the value that you would be
offseting.
In the Time mode, press and hold
TEMP button to enter the
temperature setting mode. When
the temperature digits flash, press
the TEMP button to advance the
digits, or press the START button
to retard the digits. Press the MODE
button to select the 10th degree
digits. Use the same buttons to
advance or retard the digits.
To exit the temperature setting mode
and return back to time mode, press
the LIGHT button. The temperature
can be viewed in all modes except
for Alarm mode.
When TEMP button is pressed, the
temperature will be shown in the
upper section of the display. Press
the TEMP button again, and the
temperature will be shown in the
middle section of the display. The
temperature reading will disappear
from the display after approximately
4 hours; then normal time will be
displayed. The watch will not take
a sampling of the temperature while
the Night Vision™ light is on.
HOW TO OPERATE
CHRONOGRAPH/STOPWATCH

number, lap time and accumulated
(split) time one at a time.
