Checking the Current
Altitude
1. Enter the Altimeter Mode.

Navigating Between Modes
●
You can select either of two Altimeter
Mode screens.

Entering the Altimeter Mode will start
altitude measurement and display the
altitude at your current location.
●
The watch takes altitude readings every
second for about the first three minutes.
After that, it takes readings according to
the watch’s auto measurement interval
setting.
●
Check the information at the link below
to find out how to configure the auto
measurement interval.

Setting the Measurement Interval for
Auto Record Data and Climb Record
Data
●
To retrigger measurement, press (A).
●
To return to the Timekeeping Mode,
press (D).
Note
●
Measurement range: -700 to 10,000
meters (-2,300 to 32,800 feet)
(Measurement unit: 1 meter (5 feet))
Note that calibrating altitude readings
will cause a change in the
measurement range.
●
[- - -] will appear for the measured value
if it is outside the allowable range.

Calibrating Altitude
Readings (Offset)
To minimize the difference between locally
indicated and measured values, you should
update the reference altitude value (offset)
before setting off and during treks or any other
activities where you take altitude readings.
Also, you can ensure accurate measurements
by checking a map local altitude indications or
some other source for your current location’s
altitude, and regularly calibrating watch
readings with the latest information while
mountain climbing.
Note
●
You can find out the altitude at your
current location from signs, maps, on
the Internet, etc.
●
Differences between actual altitude
and watch readings can be caused by
the factors below.
ー
Changes in barometric pressure
ー
Changes in temperature caused by
variations in barometric pressure
and by elevation
●
Though altitude readings can be taken
without calibration, doing so may
produce readings that are very
different from indications by altitude
markers, etc.
