Digital Compass Reading
Precautions
Location During Use
Taking readings near sources of strong
magnetism can cause reading error. Keep the
watch away from the following types of items.
Permanent magnets (magnetic accessories,
etc.), metal objects, high-voltage wires, aerial
wires, electrical household appliances (TVs,
computers, cellphones, etc.)
Note that correct direction readings are not
●
possible indoors, especially inside of
reinforced concrete structures.
Accurate direction readings are not
●
possible on electric trains, on boats, on
aircraft, etc.
Storage Location
Exposure of the watch to magnetism can
affect the accuracy of digital compass
readings. Keep the watch away from the types
of items below.
Permanent magnets (magnetic accessories,
etc.), metal objects, electrical household
appliances (TVs, computers, cellphones, etc.)
Watch Operation Guide 3553
The watch takes altitude readings and
displays results based on air pressure
measurements taken by a built-in pressure
sensor.
Important!
The altitude readings displayed by the
●
watch are relative values that are
calculated based on barometric
pressure measured by the watch's
pressure sensor. This means that
barometric pressure changes due to
weather can cause altitude readings
taken at the same location to be
different. Also note that the value
displayed by the watch may be
different from the actual elevation and/
or sea level elevation indicated for the
area where you are located. When
using the watch's altimeter while
mountain climbing, it is recommended
that you regularly calibrate its readings
in accordance with local altitude
(elevation) indications.

After that, it takes readings according to
the watch's auto measurement interval
setting.
