ALTIMETER AND BAROMETER
ABOUT THE ALTIMETER-BAROMETER
The altimeter measures altitude in either metres or feet.
The device is equipped with an intelligent barometer
that determines altitude by the built-in sensor with
the advanced Baro-compensation technology. It also
distinguishes the differences between pressure caused
by the changes in physical altitudes and pressure caused
by weather conditions. This eliminates discrepancies
and makes the altimeter more accurate than most of

ABOUT THE COMPASS
The compass shows the bearing in degrees due North
together with 16 cardinal points. The out circumference of the
display consists of 16 arrows that graphically indicate North.
The last lit segment indicates North as shown below.

Press COMPASS to navigate to the Compass
mode.
NOTE The compass display is active for 30 seconds at
a time. After this, the display will go back to the previous
mode.
NOTE Always take bearings in the open air, not inside
buildings, tents, caves, or other shelters.
4. Press TIME to begin calibration of the compass.
NOTE Compass readings should be performed
away from magnetic materials. Avoid large magnetic
objects, power lines, loudspeakers, electric motors
etc.
COMPASS SENSOR CALIBRATION
Before the compass is first used, we recommend that
you calibrate the compass sensor.
To calibrate the compass sensor:
1. Press COMPASS to navigate to the Compass
mode.
2. Press and hold COMPASS to enter settings mode.
3. Press ALT / + or BARO / - to navigate to Calibration
mode.
5. Rotate the watch counter clockwise at the same speed
as the moving segments around the circumference
of the display. The rotation will be finished once you
have performed 1 1⁄4 turns and the display will appear
as shown below:
7
EN
1. Enter your zip code in the area provided
2. Click “Get Location”
3. Scroll down and click “Compute”
For declinations in Canada:
http://www.geolab.nrcan.gc.ca/geomag/apps/mdcal_e.php
When you set the declination angle on the compass you
compensate for the difference between true and magnetic
north. This makes the compass reading more accurate.
NOTE The compass should be calibrated:
• Before you use it for the first time.
• When the battery is replaced.
• Before you leave for an extended outdoor activity.
• Whenever it is exposed to strong magnetic sources,
extreme cold, or you suspect that other environmental
conditions have affected the compass readings.
• If you notice that the compass is not showing the
direction correctly.
To set the declination angle:
1. Press COMPASS to navigate to Compass mode.
2. Press and hold COMPASS to enter settings mode.
3. Press ALT / + or BARO / - to navigate to Declination
mode.
DECLINATION ANGLE
Declination is the angle between where a compass
needle points (magnetic North Pole) and the true North
Pole. The declination angle can vary from 0-30 degrees
East (E) or West (W) and can be found on most maps
or on the Internet.
For declinations in the United States:
http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/seg/geomag/jsp/Declination.jsp

4. Press TIME to confirm and move to the next setting.
5. Press ALT / + or BARO / - to change setting. The setting
options are as follows: ON / OFF; WEST/EAST (only if
ON is selected); degree of declination angle.
6. Press TIME to confirm.
NOTE If the declination angle is turned ON, the True north
function will automatically turn itself OFF and vice-versa.
TRUE NORTH CALIBRATION
TIP Press COMPASS anytime to quickly exit.
When you do not know the declination angle, the true north
calibration function can be used to compensate for the
difference between magnetic and true north. All you need
to know is the direction of true north (this can be found from
landmarks in your immediate vicinity). Setting the true north
calibration makes the compass reading more accurate.
