If you do not operate any button for a few
minutes while a selection is flashing, the
flashing stops and the watch goes back to
the Trekking Counter Mode automatically.
Using the trekking counter
1. Attach the watch correctly to your belt.
• See "BAND CLIP" for details. The procedure you should use depends on
the type of band (cloth, leather, metal) that comes with your watch.
2. Press D while in the Trekking Counter Mode to start the trekking counter
operation.
• Elapsed time, number of steps, and distance covered are all shown on the
display while the trekking counter is operating.
3. Press D to temporarily stop trekking counter operation.
• You can use D to stop and re-start trekking counter operation as many
times as you like. Each time you press D to re-start, the elapsed time,
number of steps and distance covered values start from point they were at
when you press D to stop trekking counter operation.
• The trekking counter operation continues internally even if you change to
another mode.
• If you change the stride length setting while a trekking counter operation is
in progress causes the trekking counter operation to pause. Pressing D
resumes the operation.
4. After you are finished using the trekking counter, press D to stop
operation and then press B to clear all of the values to zero.
• The trekking counter is not intended for use as an all-day pedometer.
Trekking counter operation requires considerable battery power, so be sure
to press D to stop its operation after you are through using it. Next, hold
down C for about two seconds to return to the Timekeeping Mode.
• To protect against prematurely running down the battery, trekking counter
operation turns off automatically and the watch emits a 2-second beep to
alert you if the trekking counter is left on for more than 24 hours. Note that
measured values up to the point that the trekking counter turns off are
retained, so you can start the next operation from the displayed values.
• While the trekking counter is operating, the graphic area of the display
indicates the number of steps you have taken. The first block flashes during
steps 0 through 999. At step 1,000, the first block stays on and the second
block flashes from steps 1,000 to 1,999. This continues block-by-block until
step 9,999. At step 10,000, the first block flashes and the process starts
again. The display below that the number of steps is in the range of 4,000 to
4,999 (or 14,000 to 14,999, 24,000 to 24,999, etc.).
ALTIMETER FUNCTIONS
A built-in altimeter uses a pressure sensor to detect the current air pressure,
which is then used to estimate the current altitude in accordance with ISA
(International Standard Atmosphere) values for altitude and air pressure. If
you preset a reference altitude, the watch will also calculate the current
relative altitude based on your preset value. Altimeter functions also include
data storage memory and an altitude alarm.
Important!
• This watch estimates altitude based on air pressure. This means that
altitude readings for the same location may vary if air pressure changes.
• Sudden changes in the weather make it impossible to produce accurate
altitude readings.
• This watch employs a semiconductor pressure sensor, which is affected by
temperature changes. When taking altitude measurements, be sure to do
so while ensuring that the watch is not exposed to temperature changes.
• Do not use this watch while participating in sports where there are sudden
altitude changes. Also, do not use this watch for applications that demand
professional or industrial level precision. This watch should not be used
while engaging in the following activities: sky diving, hang gliding,
paragliding, gyrocopter riding, glider riding, etc.
Applications
When no reference altitude is preset:
• The watch produces approximate altitude readings.
When a reference altitude is preset:
• Before beginning the climb, set the reference altitude to 0 m at the foot of
the mountain. This makes it possible to determine the difference in altitude
between the reference point and your destination.
• To determine the height of a tall
building, set the reference altitude to
0 m on the ground floor. Note,
however, that if the building is
pressurized or air conditioned, you
may not be able to get a good reading.
• To determine the difference in altitude between your house and another
location, set the reference altitude to 0 m at your house, and then check the
reading when you arrive at the other location.
• When mountain climbing, you can
input the altitude from a marker as your
reference altitude, which will then let
you know your altitude as your climb
proceeds. The following conditions will
prevent you from obtaining accurate
readings:
When air pressure changes because of changes in the weather
Extreme temperature changes
When the watch itself is subjected to strong impact
About altitude measurements
There are two types of altitude measurements: those for displayed data
(Altimeter Mode measurement) and those for memory data (memory
measurements; See "Memory measurements").
Altimeter Mode measurement
This type of measurement is performed only when the watch is in the Altimeter
Mode. As soon as you enter the Altimeter Mode, measurements are taken
every five seconds for the first three minutes. After that, measurements are
taken every two minutes. The display unit for Altimeter Mode measurements is
5 m, and the display range is 0 to 6000 m.
• The measured altitude may be a negative value in cases where there is a
reference altitude value set or because of certain atmospheric conditions.
Understanding the altimeter display
Use C to enter the Altimeter Mode. Note that once you enter the Altimeter
Mode, if you do not press any button for 10 or 11 hours, the watch
automatically returns to the Timekeeping Mode.

Memory measurements
Memory measurements are taken independently of Altimeter Mode
measurements and stored directly into memory (along with temperature
measurements) for later recall. There are two types of memory
measurements: "Auto Memory Measurements" and "Manual Memory
Measurements".
Auto Memory Measurements
With auto memory measurement, the watch continuously performs
measurements whenever the minutes in the Timekeeping Mode reach 00, 15,
30, or 45, until you switch auto measurements off. The watch continues to
take measurements regardless of whether or not you change modes, so you
can keep a running log of temperature and altitude changes automatically.
Manual Memory Measurements
You can use the manual procedure to take a reading anytime you want to
store your current altitude data into memory for later recall. Manual memory
measurements can be performed only while the watch is in the Altimeter
Mode.
