note: during calibration, it is not necessary that all peripheral segments light up or turn off. note: If the text “faIl” appears in field 2 (fig. 60), the battery should be removed and put back in before trying to proceed with the calibration process. -
Page 51: Why Do The Segments On The Circumference Go To The Left (Counterclockwise)
If you have set the compass to track a certain bearing, the segments on the circumference indicate the difference between the direction in which you want to go and your actual bearing. 7.1.4 Why do the segments on the circumference go to the left (counterclockwise)? you are in the difference measurement mode and your unit is showing a decreasing value. -
Page 52: Time
7.3 TIMe 7.3.1 Why do the segments on the circumference increase and decrease when I am in the Watch mode? the main function of the segments is related to the compass mode, where a division into 36 segments is necessary due to the 360- degree scale of a compass. -
Page 53: What Is The Duration Readout
7.4.4 What is the duration readout? the duration readout tells you how many hours and/or minutes the event recorded into the logbook lasted. for example, if you’re hiking from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. and the logbook is on during this time, the readout would show a duration of 05:00 hours. 7.4.5 What is the maximum capacity of total vertical ascent or descent feet/meters in the logbook history? The maximum figure that can be shown on the display is 29,999,999 representing feet or meters depending on the unit of measurement... -
Page 54: Why Does The Vertical Ascent/Descent Measurement Show Different Readings Even Though I Am Inside And Staying In The Same Room
is to alWays set the known reference altitude into the Wristop computer. this is the only way to get accurate altitude readings. 7.4.7 Why does the vertical ascent/descent measurement show different readings even though I am inside and staying in the same room? the resolution of the vertical ascent/descent rate is m/ ft whereas the resolution of the altitude display is 5 m/0 ft, which means that the ascent/descent rate can show movement even though you remain at the same altitude. -
Page 55: What Is Temperature Compensation
– it will in either case give you the proper altitude reading providing the weather conditions have not changed. all suunto Wristop computers are temperature compensated within the range –5 to 40 ° f / - 0 to +60 ° c. - Page 56 altitude (m) altitude (ft) temperature (c) temperature (f) above sea level above sea level 5.0 59.0 3.7 56.7 3 .4 54.3 969 . 5.0 65 49.6 000 38 47.3 00 3937 45.0 400 4593 4.6 600 550 40.3 800 5906 37.9 000 656...
- Page 57 now the altitude measurement error caused by an abnormal temperature gradient can be approximated as follows. If the sum of the temperature offsets from the normal temperatures determined at two different altitudes is 1 ºC, the altitude difference calculated by Wristop Computer is 0.2% off the real altitude difference (When using imperial units the offset factor is 0.% / ºf).
