correct altitude. To do this:
• Obtain a topographical map; fi nd your location and
its related altitude reading.
OR
• Set the sea level pressure on your watch.
IMPORTANT
• This unit employs a semiconductor pressure sensor
that could be affected by temperature change. While
taking the altitude measurement, ensure that the unit
is not exposed to sudden temperature changes.
• It is recommended to calibrate the altitude or sea
level pressure regularly to maintain the accuracy of
the watch.
ALTITUDE BAR CHART
The altitude bar chart at the bottom of the display
shows the altitude history. It consists of 7 rows and 14

The latest reading is entered in the right hand column
and always at the height of the 4th row. Therefore, all
the other readings will adjust their position to refl ect the
latest reading.
