5.1. General

5.1.1. Is the wristop Computer water resistant?

Yes, it is water resistant to a depth of 30 meters (100 ft). rain and other normal exposure to water will not effect its
operation. You can swim wearing your Wristop Computer. However, the Wristop Computer is not a diving device.

5.1.2. how long will the battery last?

all users employ the product in different ways. Battery life depends mainly on how much the backlight,
the compass and the logbook are used. the low-battery warning symbol appears on the display when 5 to
15 percent of battery capacity remains. this should give the user plenty of time to safely change the battery.
the battery life expectancy is approximately 12-18 months.

5.1.3. what do the segments on the circumference mean?

In the altimeter mode, one full circle equals 1,000 meters or 1,000 feet, therefore the segments on
the circumference graphically show the user the altitude over a full thousand. When using the difference
measurement function of the altimeter, the segments indicate the vertical difference in the elevation over a full
thousand either to the right if you're ascending or to the left if you're descending.
In the Barometer mode, one full circle equals 100 mbar or 1 inHg, and the segments indicate the pressure over
a full hundred mbar or over a full inHg. When using the difference measurement function of the barometer,
the segments indicate the change in atmospheric pressure either to the right if the pressure has risen or to the
left if the pressure has dropped.
5.1.4. why do the segments on the circumference go to the left
(counterclockwise)?
normally, they always go to the right (clockwise) from the 12-noon position.
You are in the difference measurement mode and your unit is showing a decreasing value. In normal mode,
the segment display increases clockwise, but if you are in a mode that shows you differences (such as vertical
