Important!
This watch is not a special-purpose
●
measuring instrument. Measurement
function readings are intended for
general reference only.
Whenever using the Digital Compass
●
of this watch for serious trekking,
mountain climbing, or other activities,
be sure to always take along another
compass to confirm readings. If the
readings produced by the Digital
Compass of this watch are different
from those of the other compass,
perform 2-point calibration of the
Digital Compass to ensure better
accuracy.
Compass readings and calibration
ー
will not be possible if the watch is in
the vicinity of a permanent magnet
(magnetic accessory, etc.), metal
objects, high-voltage wires, aerial
wires, or electrical household
appliances (TV, computer,
cellphone, etc.)
Digital Compass
l
The watch's altimeter function
●
calculates and displays relative
altitude based on barometric pressure
readings produced by its pressure
sensor. Because of this, altitude
values displayed by the watch may be
different from your actual elevation
and/or sea level elevation indicated for
the area where you are located.
Regular calibration in accordance with
the local altitude (elevation)
indications is recommended.
